It's fairly late when the message appears. No doubt Crow and Ren are both fast asleep. In fact, it's highly likely that they are, and that he knows, sharing a bed with them and all.]
Hello. This is Crow's Shadow, Persona, and everything in between, I suppose.
Apologies for the late night message. I'm not even sure how many people will see it.
I've been more or less summoned nonstop these past few weeks. I suppose that's given me more time to reflect.
I've been told that I need a name of my own many times, by Crow and others. Funny how I always hesitate. When I became a Persona, I took on the form of Robin Hood, but the longer I've existed as a separate consciousness, the less that identity's truly fit. It's more like an alter ego, a mask and form I take that reflects us on a symbolic level, but it's not as though I'm going to go gallivanting about with merry men.
I'm also decidedly not into women romantically or intimately.
Ren thinks "Robin" will suffice. I've also had "Hiro" recommended, and "Kou." There are options. I just don't know what to choose. It's difficult enough to see myself as anything but a piece of him.
Yet for years now, he's insisted that I'm me. He's tried so hard to include me in his family. He took great pains to learn how to summon me outside cognitive spaces and without need of an Evoker, just so I could have even a semblance of a life without having to take control of his body.
He's done so much for me. Our condition means that we're bound together for the rest of our lives. It's an existence baked in compromise, because he refuses to simply use me in battle and leave it at that.
I don't know how to describe my feelings regarding him, and that's equally troubling.
