madimpossibledreamer: Tatsuya holding a motorcycle helmet under his arm and looking at a swingset (bi protag ftw)

I see and respectfully disagree with your opinion, Jacob of the Sleepover Society. Persona 2 duology is worth playing, because
*bi protag is best protag. Like, the other characters are all great, but Tatsuya, man.
*Hashino’s not here to insert his anti-lgbtq agenda into the story
*HTE MUSIC
*I am here for the absolutely ridiculous over the top shenanigans that are the Persona 2 story
*eldritch horror
*okay, most of the mechanics are worse, particularly the lack of a persona compendium, but I am also incredibly here for a more equal power system where multiple people can equip multiple personas
*female protag
*adult party members

I know I’m a slight hypocrite here given Broken Hero, but I’m mostly setting it after, and Jun scolding Tatsuya was so satisfying to write.

??? Okay, anyone wanna explain to me why the Joker used a flower symbol of a yellow iris? The hanakotoba I’m getting from multiple sites are ‘loyalty, good news’, and occasionally some other positive things? The closest thing is maybe knowledge, like, seek enlightenment and after you find it I’ll take my revenge, or mayyybe at a stretch ‘finally my day of revenge has come, this is good news for me’, but, like??? From its place in the story I always kind of assumed it was a similar meaning to the orange lily.

The idea here for the title is that Yosuke in this universe is a law nerd and has done a decent number of civil cases—so he’d know debt terms. The debt remains the same; i.e. he doesn’t think he’s paid it off or that the terms of the contract should change and no amount of ‘you’re not at fault’ judgments from others will make him believe it. I also considered some ‘representing yourself’ terms, since he’s essentially the one putting himself on trial, but.
I don’t know what it is about this specific song that makes me go ‘this is the Verdict reasoning/putting together the pieces/thinking song’, but. It is what it is.
he's not kidding about Kanji's fashion, btw, man's one of the most well-dressed yakuza around.  Unlike his counterpart he doesn't have a full gold suit and switches it up, but if you see one of the most eye-catching shirts particularly if it's got some sort of metallic pattern on it it's probably Kanji.  (Honestly, he might be making one-of-a-kind shirts himself because he's awesome.)  Not over the top, not gaudy, but he absolutely would fit right in at a nightclub.

         “Do you even own a guitar anymore, Tacchi?” Jun asks, and Hanamura-kun gasps and whips around hard enough he accidentally walks into one of the trees on the shrine ground. Seta-kun looks concerned, but other than the wince, the pain can’t overcome the brunet’s excitement.
         “You play guitar, Suou-san?” he gasps, and Tatsumi-kun whistles.
         “Not gonna lie, that’s pretty sweet, Suou-san.”
         Tatsuya, meanwhile, looks like he wants to melt into the ground at all the attention. He can be really shy, though it’s easy to overlook if you don’t know what you’re looking for. “…Yes,” he answers after a bit, flicking his lighter quickly.
         Jun merely raises an eyebrow, silently asking which question he’d been answering, and his dragon answers, “…Both.” He takes a deep breath and continues more normally. “Though it’s been a while. I think it’s at Katsuya and Maya-nee’s, and I haven’t touched it in years. The strings will probably snap the second I do.”
         “I really need to get back into it,” Hanamura-kun’s renewed enthusiasm is touching, and it’s nice seeing that while he no longer plays there’s one hobby where Tatsuya hasn’t lost all interest.

         “Moon cards?” Souji blinks, staring befuddled at the cards in his hand. There are quite a lot of them, and he’s never gotten those from a Shuffle Time before.
         “Think those are for me, thanks,” Suou-san states gruffly and plucks them from Souji’s hand.
         “What are they for?” Now that he’s not only allowed but encouraged to indulge his curiosity, he’s found it’s kind of addicting.
         “Fusing new Personas,” Kashihara-san answers when it becomes clear Suou-san is not going to respond. “It’s a much more complicated process for us. I was wondering how it was going to work without me having to tell demon horoscopes or Tatsuya doing his impressions.”

         “Uh. Is he all right?” Hanamura-kun asks, staring at Tatsuya, who has managed to fall asleep on one of the uncomfortable Junes chairs. Jun has yet to find an angle that doesn’t hurt, but he’s sitting elegantly anyway.
         Jun smiles reassuringly. “Tatsu-chan does this sometimes. Please pay him no mind. I’ll tell him what he missed later; please continue, Hanamura-kun.”

The song wasn’t actually due to the lotus. I was listening to the song separately and then went ‘wait there are parallels to Asura/Taisha in this storyline my heart ow’, after which I cranked this out at a point I definitely should have been sleeping.  And named the series.  Also some steins;gate parallels.
