WHERE THE FUCK IS MARIO
Treo was at school. This was a very odd occurrence for the boy, since school was more of a place he went to pass the time rather than pass with any grade. Of course Miyuki saying she would beat him up if he didn't go was also kinda helping. But he was on the rooftop. Sitting on an air conditioner and listening to its rumble.

He sighed to himself. His persona had gone quiet ever since he got the Dragon. They still worked, but they... never said anything. At first he was welcomed for the quiet but after a while it just started to feel weird. As he sat with blank eyes on the air conditioner, he switched his gaze to the door in case anything came out.

"What are you doing up here?" Sora asked, leaning against the door frame that led out to the rooftop. He hadn't really expected anyone else to be here at this hour. The rooftop did seem to be a pretty popular stop among the Persona users though. Heaven knew why.

"Did the demon land owner get to you again?" He added, referring to Miyuki. Sora wasn't often in the apartment, but he heard enough about Treo and Miyuki's antics to make assumptions. All of them were pretty fucking hilarious. It made the two of them seem like they were actually pretty good friends. Sora couldn't help but feel a small pang of jealousy over it.

He looked Treo over. The kid seemed pretty out of it. Chances were it would have been a lot smarter to just leave.

He snapped awake and locked his eyes onto Sora. He owed that boy a lot of things, most of all an apology. "I was... waiting the rest of the day out. Not long till the end." He leapt down from the air conditioner and smiled. "Miyuki-san? She... she did say she would punch me if I didn't start going to school."

He chuckled. "We've got shadows and monsters but I'm terrified of a girl that's not even my height. What about you Sora-san, what are you doing here?" He gave a small smile, but he didn't seem to resemble the Treo from the beginning in the slightest.

Sora blinked when Treo mentioned Shadows. Which was he referring to? The monsters or the reflections? He looked down at his feet and didn't breach the subject any further. It was the last thing he wanted to talk about.

"I'm here because I don't want to be down there." He responded. His eyes remained trained on Treo. For one reason or another, the wild card didn't appear to be looking too good. An epidemic among their kind apparently.

"You two get along pretty well." Sora smirked. "So why do you seem so... different?"

Treo looked over at the door. "I don't want to be down there either. Too much noise. Too many people doing boring things. The girl in Class 3-A who wants to go out with the boy from Class 3-B and they both sit close to the wall and pass things through the hole made by Yuu-sensei's spears." He smiled to Sora.

"We get along well because she helped me. I guess I feel... indebted to her." He sighed. "I do owe you an apology though. A long time ago I said that we were like mirror images. I don't think that's right. I think I was just trying to feel... accepted? I don't know. The point is you were right. I don't know anything about you."

He smiled and nodded. "I'm sorry Sora. For trying to understand what I cannot fathom."

Sora's face was stoic as Treo began to explain himself.

"I know the feeling." Sora added, thinking about all the people he had a debt to. Debts that would probably never be repaid. He'd fucked up way too badly in the past for that to ever be an option. That, or he was just too afraid to try. It was probably a combination of the two. He'd been too afraid to do a lot of things lately.

"An apology? Ha, that's a new one. I'm the one with a never ending list of goddamn apologies. But I wouldn't worry about being accepted in your case. You've got good friends."
Sora's words were bitter. He did let out a small smile though. When was the last time someone apologized to him?

"We're nothing alike, Treo." Sora began with a sigh. "... I used to think I understood everything about people. I don't even understand myself anymore. Or maybe I do and I just don't want to hear about it."

He tapped his skull. "You can't make any sense of this either then?"

Treo was silent, his eyes focused on the Wild Card as he spoke. "Friends.. Yeah. I do but. This is going to sound weird. I told you a long time ago I never really felt accepted among people, so I stood above them, pushing them and watching every movement they made. A game of chess played with humanity and I was the only player."

"Even now, when I try to form bonds with them. They don't feel solid. Like I'm missing something. I don't think I can ever make a true connection." He sighed to himself. "I used to think I understood what made people tick. You know how people like us can adapt personalities to better suit the person we're trying to befriend, coerce, what have you. I asked myself the question. 'What am I beneath all those masks?'" The teen looked uncomfortable for a moment.

"I still don't know the answer."

Sora stuffed his hands into his pockets. This was quickly becoming a pretty uncomfortable conversation wasn't it? He should have expected as much.

"And I know that feeling too. Everyone else... I can feel it. Their bonds are all so strong I could practically reach out and grab them." He smirked. "Before I felt like I knew what it was like. A couple times maybe. Then it got driven into the dirt. I feel like I had it in my grasp so many times, but something was so twisted it just wouldn't last."

His smile was wan.
"What are you? That's a good question. What do you really want Treo?"

Sora posed a question he hadn't been able to answer himself for weeks.

"Do you really want friends? Think you're better off this way?"

He leaned over to the edge of the roof, looking down at the ground so far away below.
"I wonder if it was worth it. Having had those feelings at all. Having them taken away like that is..."

Treo looked off the roof at the people in the distance. "I've never been able to get close enough to know how it feels. I always feel so distant. Maybe that's why I feel comfortable on the roof. Up above all the people. It feels like a bond I make doesn't... connect. They reach out to me but I can never take their hands."

He gave a grin. "Your own hand can't touch its mirror image after all." He tapped his head when he asked his question. "I want... to be able to connect to people. I want my friends to be my friends and not just people I reflect from. But most importantly I want a self."

"Friends? I.. do I really think I'm better off this way? A Mirror that does nothing but copy." He shook his head. "I want to be like everyone else. But I can't."

He nodded to Sora as he joined him by the edge. "I had those feelings once. All at once, when I could hear seven voices at one all vying for my attention. It hurts to know that I might not ever feel them again."

"If you can't reflect me, than what do you see now? It'd be the real you right?" Sora asked, resting his arms across the railings. "Nothing?"

He laughed. "Maybe you really are just nothing. Isn't that a scary thought?"
A scary thought indeed. He wasn't sure exactly was the scarier thought.

"They talked to you at all? The never talked to me once. Just when I first got them. I can't imagine how loud it must have been."
