[...

Ripley's expression softens a little. She glances towards Akira's door, then returns her gaze to Makoto.]

You guys have been through a lot together, I take it?

[Just judging from the way Makoto speaks about Akira.]

[justfists]

... Before Akira, I may as well have been a robot. I did what the adults in my life told me to do, I strived to meet their expectations as much as I could, to make myself as little a burden as possible.

Joining the Phantom Thieves was the first time I was able to do what I thought was right. To put my skills to use for something I truly believe in.

[Up goes the other eyebrow.]

Phantom Thieves? Is that a gang name or something?

[Nothing wrong with some teen crimes!!! She's not judging. She was a teenager, once.]

[justfists]

Well... We're not exactly a gang. But something like that. Akira, Joker, is the leader. I'm just the strategist, Queen.

[there was LOTS of teen crime going on with that group, though]

[xenoqueen]

[holy shit they even have card motifs. that's incredible.]

Wish I had a group of friends like that when I was younger. [She grins a little.] Back in college, it was just me and my engineering classmates doing dumb shit. Not that it wasn't fun, of course.

[But maybe she might've had some better chances at work besides corporate military gigs if she'd made more connections...]

[justfists]

Well... that isn't to say we don't also do something similar.

[has she seen Akira?? just wondering]

Ripley-san, you'll have to tell me about it tomorrow.

[firmly. she's going to try emulating Akira's optimism here.]

[xenoqueen]

[Ripley nods, a small smile making its way onto her face. It quickly fades when she realizes she might not ever get to talk to Makoto tomorrow.

Don't think about it. Just...get it out of your head, Ripley. You don't need any of that.]

Right. Just be sure to remind me, alright?
