"No thanks" is, what the boy really wanted to reply. It didn't matter how soothing she sounded--he felt this dream was special somehow. This dream... felt like nothing. Not like that there was no remarkable aspect, but that it felt like a cleansing emptiness. But it was a nothing that he wanted to lie in a while longer. He was very tired. He couldn't remember what it was that caused this, what he was doing before this. It was something very strange too, though. --That seemed to be the extent of what he could remember. His body feels heavy. Ahh, how troublesome, he thought. He just wanted to rest some more.
> ... !!
But what is that, a butterfly? It shone red, bright in the void. He hesitates, but raises a finger to give its edge a tap.
The voice beckoning him to awaken changed. Did it belong to someone else? He felt himself slowly regaining consciousness. There was some whirring noise, too. But he didn't really want to get up. No, he groaned internally, and kept his eyes shut.
"Let me sleep..." ]
H-hey... are you okay, kupo?
[ The Moogle sweats, hovering a bit over him. He hasn't stirred at all; there's no indicator he hears him. He frowns, worried. ]
Wh-what do I do kupo... He's not waking up.
[ From hereon, you can for example... (a) Choose to look over the boy who is persistently sleeping even as everyone else is getting up, (b) Have Kharon (the Moogle) get panicky enough to try ask for your help like "P-please! He's not getting up!" (c) Suggest a method to jolt him up (sorry Minato) (d) Do something else entirely! ]
2. Actually Awake
[ A lot of trouble later still closeby to where he and the other new Heroes woke up, the teenager is looking at his new garb with a blank expression. Despite this, his words are clearly of discontentment about this new ordeal that he's been dragged into. It's not intentionally scornful, but factual. He didn't know anything, and they--whoever they were, were asking a lot. ]
Even if they're asking us to save the world... that's so troublesome. Who is this Queen, and what are these prophecies... to deal with monsters, wars... I can't agree with this.
[ He sighs. So much for having a normal school life. He briefly wonders if this had anything to do with that piece of paper he signed a few nights back. Should've read the fine print. ]
3. Around the City
[ His apprehension from earlier takes a more somber tone, when he wanders around, and sees the destruction that happened upon the city. Mind, he still didn't think there was much he could really do. But if it looked like this, then they must have been truly desperate. ]
...
[ He doesn't wander much as a whole, and seems to pass by with disinterest as compared to more excitable newcomers. But his gazes are held, to the scenes of ruins and reconstruction. He takes out the red crystal he had acquired in the start of this, looking at it and seemingly contemplating his next move. But he doesn't approach anyone, or say anything. It's not like he'll spurn conversation though, if someone else initiates it. --And on a much sillier note, on other days, you might just find him dozing off somewhere. Really, why did he get summoned as a Hero...? ]
4. ???
Ah...
[ Minato blinks, looking at the sky. Even with all the things that have been happening to him in the past few days, that was truly something else. Briefly he thinks about the well-being of the cow. And then, it somehow reminded him of his stomach. He absently murmurs out loud: ]
Minato Arisato | Persona 3 | I'll follow your format if you'd like prose!
