(Intro) A New Arrival
When Sumire first opens her eyes, she's taken off guard by her new surroundings. After all, she had just been in her room, still processing the state of her world.
"I... All right, thank you! I'll do my best!"
She says that to Igor with a smile, not really getting what's going on, but she doesn't want to be rude and ask countless questions. Honestly, she's not really sure what the Velvet Room is, either, but that'll probably open a huge can of worms, and... well! It'd probably be better to just figure it out for herself.
It's pretty easy to get that she's somewhere else though... but... wait, is it under Maruki's surveillance, too? Oh, she hopes not, but maybe it's OK...
She looks around, and...
Option 1: She goes and checks the conspiracy board first thing, seeing it out of the corner of her eye. Wow, there's a lot here... Various versions of Akechi? Ren VS. Akira? Vampires and the fae?! What on Earth has she walked into?!
Option 2: She decides to step through the door to Tokyo. After all, it's familiar, and from the way it sounds, it's more like the real Tokyo than the one her world has become. She's trying not to think about that too hard as she walks through the streets, finding herself at the usual spot in Odaiba. It's... not as pleasant to be here now though, considering Maruki's Palace can be found there...
Option 3: She decides to take a leap of faith, heading for one of the subways in Tokyo. She holds her phone in her hand, staring at it intently. The Meta-Nav seems to be here, so that must mean Mementos is easily accessible... It's weird, having access to it again. She's about three seconds away from pushing the button.

"Where to begin...?"
/small>Does she just hope he knows who Maruki is? Or does she start from the very beginning...?
"Do you know a man named Dr. Maruki? He's a therapist, and he worked at Shujin Academy for several months...?"
She just decides to ask upfront, and hopes that it'll be 'yes'.
no subject
Oh, great, this is going exactly where he thinks it's going. He puts his hand up to his chin, like he's deep in thought.
"I heard from others that he obtained god-like powers in some worlds... would that be relevant here?"
no subject
The look of surprise on her face is conflicted, shifting into some sort of quiet relief for a second... before turning into something more regretful.
"...Yeah, that's what happened in my world. The people keep reminding me of it, and it's a little awkward, I guess."
There's more to it than just that... The fact that she's still not entirely sure of whether she truly wants to be Sumire or Kasumi, how muddled she feels about herself, how it still feels so much easier to act like 'Kasumi' than it does to be 'Sumire'... but at the very least she has a common goal with her world's Akechi to work towards to help keep her focused.
She gets a bit of a sheepish look as she continues.
"...Once Akechi-san reminded me of things, the people around me just didn't feel the same anymore... It's really strange."
no subject
He trails off. He does actually feel bad for her; he can't imagine living somewhere like that and not being completely horrified by it at every corner. It's bad enough being forced to play the charismatic Detective Prince, fake personality and all, but to have everyone around you be like that.
Awful.
"Though I suppose it is good to hear a version of myself would stand up to such injustice."
no subject
"I appreciate it, Falcon-san, but you don't need to worry about a thing. Between Akechi-san and I, we're... well, we'll figure this out somehow. We need to remind everyone else first, but once we do we can save Ren and then we'll be able to solve things from there!"
It's not entirely a true smile, but she's doing her best to keep positive. It's easier that way, just pretending it's all right... Even if it's not entirely the true her speaking.
"And yeah, he really is trying his hardest to bring things back together. He reminded me of what happened... kind of. My memory's still a little fuzzy. He's been very kind and understanding, too..."
And yet something seems off as she looks off to the side. She quietly thinks to herself.
