[open | intro] I wonder, was that the wrong pill to take?
[When she wakes up, it's like peeling herself off of a puddle of glue. Or what she imagines cracking out of an egg must be like for a baby bird. Slow, frustrating, and kind of crunchy.]
[She actually didn't expect to wake up again, at all. And especially not here, opening her eyes to the deep blue and constant aria of the Velvet Room. With a yawn, she sits upright and rubs her eyes. There's a cot underneath her, not unlike what someone might find in the nurse's office at a school, but her school bag is nowhere to be found. All she has is the uniform she is wearing. Thankfully, she does appear to still have her shoes, which she tenderly rests on the floor, as if she doesn't quite expect it to be solid.]
[A glance around tells her that someone has redecorated. The Velvet Room is much bigger than she remembers, for one thing, and it's got several doors that did not used to be there, for another. Once she lays eyes on Igor, it seems to give him permission to speak. She listens with a slight frown, as if she's thinking very hard.]
Yes, I know who you are and what this place is. But... why? And... are you sure that it's okay for me to be here?
[Whatever his answer is, she is deeply uncomfortable with the idea of stepping outside this liminal space back into Iwatodai, which she knows is behind the familiar door. Or any of the other doors. Something about it makes her feel as thought it will make it real that she is no longer acting as the seal keeping Erebus back and Nyx away. It just isn't worth the risk. So, she sets about exploring what exists within the Velvet Room.]

What he wasn't expecting to see was a girl in a Gekkoukan uniform. She had a red armband like Ryoji's other friends but Makoto didn't recognize her. She was arguing with Igor so she must be new here from another timeline.
He approaches her carefully. "Did you just get here?" He asks her.

Unfortunately for Makoto's attempt at sleuthing, she doesn't recognize him either, though her eyes do light up at the sight of a face who isn't Igor. If he's also in his uniform, she will light up even more.
"Hello! I suppose I did. This isn't my first time in a Velvet Room, but I'm not used to it looking like this. I suppose you're a bit more familiar?"
Please explain what the fuck.

pretend im not super late
She blinks at him. Then blinks again. "Welllll I guess the normal Velvet Room is in between realities anyway. Maybe it sorta slipped and got lodged between a few others, or something."
Honestly after having to wrap her head around the Nyx stuff, she'll believe just about anything.
"Sounds like a headache. I'm Kotone Shiomi."

"There's a door here that leads to a version of Iwatodai, if you wanted to stay in a dorm," he points out her armband, assuming that she had stayed in the dorm with Ryoji's friends if she was a Persona user in her own reality.

“I guess. You can get used to just about anything…” she hums thoughtfully.
It’s fine if he isn’t a touch person, she just gives him a warm look and a nod. “Nice to meet you, Makoto-kun.” She glances at the door and seems to hesitate, rocking on her feet. “Are you a Gekkokan student too?”
