Makoto looks very surprised and turns around to face him, her hand reaching into her pocket. And honestly, Johanna floats in front of her, little 8-bit puffs of smoke coming from her exhaust]
Minato-- oh, thank goodness.
[she relaxes. johanna, however, keeps that exhaust running, she's watching.]
[Minato notes that hand dipping into her pocket, and remembers her brass knuckles from before, and makes a silent pledge to never try to sneak up on Makoto.
Anyway, her Persona...!!
...In this form...she's very, very cute. He'll... uh, keep that one to himself too.]
I've never seen a Persona like her before... but even like this [you know, like...this... gestures...] she still seems pretty amazing.
I guess that's true, huh...? [He shakes his head quietly.]
It sounds to me like you guys have all gone through a lot as well. So... if there's anything I can do to help support you while we're all stuck here, just let me know, okay?
I think, by design, they shouldn't be. And yet... [keeping secrets might be the only way to survive, if the game runs like she thinks. But she pauses.] Well, I'd like to still be at least a little interesting.
It's hard when my deepest, darkest secret is there for everyone to see.
[Minato can't say he doesn't understand, at least a little. If his own profile stated his fate for everyone to see... he doesn't think he'd be too happy about it.]
You know, Makoto-san, I'm pretty sure you're still plenty interesting, even with that fact out there for everyone to see.

Yes, this is Johanna.

She is. I'll miss being able to ride her, but I think we'll be able to make a good team even so.
... And so you really are a persona user.
no subject
[He certainly won't deny it, not when she's right. His eyes are just way too busy trying to follow the movements of that motorPersona.
(So cool...)]
Did Akira tell you, or could you just tell already...?

[THOSE PROFILES, MAN...]
Well, maybe I should be grateful. It's reassuring to have other Persona users around, so I'm glad that revealed me, honestly.
no subject
It's nice to meet a persona senpai.

[not that she doubts him, as a persona user.
but also.
they are all really bad at keeping any secrets.]
no subject
[Persona journeys are a Lot, and also...he clammed up about a few things.
It's fine.]
But he told me enough to get a sense of what you guys were fighting for, and the challenges you faced.
no subject
[and he's still terrible at keeping a secret. it's fine. but. still.]
Well, I'm surprised he hasn't suggested a code name for you yet.
no subject
[Minato's pretty sincere, so that's easy for him to say.
... Though he's rubbing the back of his head at her next comment.]
That... would be a bit tougher, though. I don't think I'd be a very good Phantom Thief at all.
no subject
[that she can agree about.]
And admittedly... it's a little weird talking about it here, but our identities are already out there.
no subject
[... Huh.]
I get the feeling that our own personal secrets aren't going to be very easy to keep here.

[A peaceful shake of his head.]
Regardless... I'll be looking forward to getting to know you better.
