Ken's arrival (bis repetita)

Okay. Well. Ken had to admit that, when he went to bed last night, he did not expect to wake up in a blue room and be welcomed by a long-nosed man. He would have thought that it was a dream, but he's been in enough of them to know it's nothing of the sort. This place had a dinstinct, strong feeling, not quite reality, but much firmer than a dream.

He wasn't certain he could trust Igor-san yet, if he was perfectly honest. But in the case that he was not lying... it was actually great news. The real world was rough, currently, with Yuki-san being...

...

Well, a pause to make new friends couldn't hurt. Especially since he was learning again, learning to be alive, learning to live for himself, like Aragaki-san had asked him to. He couldn't let him down, not in a million years.

Malicious or not, Igor-san was right. He needed bonds. And he would make them.

Someone may meet this Ken...

1) while reading the information board. Even if being here seemed to overall be a good thing, that did not mean throwing caution out of the window. He needed information, and the kind soul having put together this compilation would save him a lot of time.

2) in Iwatodai, Ken being curious to see if the dorm SEES stayed at was still a thing in this strange place.

The shift in Ken's smile... Sumire realizes something awful must have happened involving this Yuki-san he knows.

She's seen that kind of forced smile before. She's done it, herself. Maybe not a lot, but recently, at least. Now that she has people she knows she needs to smile for.

"...I'm sorry... I..."

Ken saying that Sumire must be something special makes her feel worse. After all, Kasumi was surely the one that deserved to be the leader of the Phantom Thieves, and surely she would have had that Wild Card ability if Sumire had it, but... she gave up her life so that Sumire could live.

But she doesn't mention it.

"...Being a Persona user... It isn't easy, is it?"
