Today was a nice enough day for Kaya. To be honest, she's kept quiet for quite a while. Not much has exactly been happening on her front, though it's more around the lines that she's had no interest in dealing with others. Mostly because she simply doesn't have the patience for it. It's funny. She's found that she's had relatively little patience for a lot of things ever since Callahan left her head. Perhaps the threat of her head exploding gone let loose a couple of things. Either way, she- "Get back here!" Just then, a sudden collision to her sides managed to knock her down on her knees. As she got back on her feet, she was curious at what had the strength to floor her as simple as that. It felt like an especially large dog or a particularly burly man. Or woman. "Hey, are you alright?" "Hmm?" Kaya turned her head towards the direction of the sound, which directed her to the sight of a middle-aged woman with a tired and weathered face as well as a rather rotund boy in an ill-fitting t-shirt with a face that seemed too small for his face making their way towards her. The woman wore a particularly concerned expression upon her face as she dragged the boy by the wrists rather harshly. Bowing her head profusely, the woman begged, "I'm terribly sorry for all this! My nephew just got a bit too excited and ran off ahead. You see, today was a big day for him since I promised him that I was going to take him to see- "Don't worry, I know that even pigs need to get out and stretch their legs once in a while." The woman's expression quickly turned into one of wide-mouthed horror while the boy looked down at the ground with a look of shame. Kaya herself was just as surprised at how something like that slipped out of her mouth. Granted, it was admittedly at the back of her mind, but it certainly wasn't what she was going to start off with. And yet... She didn't exactly feel any guilt over it. Still, she should apologize before this becomes a scene. With a groan, Kaya muttered out, "Erm, I meant that I'm sure that herding baby rhinos must be a difficult task." Alright, something was wrong. She definitely didn't plan on making a little (for a given value of that word) kid cry nor some old bag yelling at her face. She took back what she thought about today earlier. |

Makoto, tired from walking with his bad still slung over his shoulder stopped by the shopping center to relax a little before going home. At least that was the plan. As he sat down, he noticed a black-haired girl insulting a young fat boy in front of his assumed mother "Don't worry, I know that even pigs need to get out and stretch their legs once in a while." she said. Makoto couldn't help but hold back laughter, one that came from amusement, but as an initial reaction due the sheer suddenness. "Holy shit! What the Fuck!?" He mumbled to himself in shock at how brazen she was. Even I wouldn't have done that! He thought to himself, Anyhow, what's her deal?. He felt pissed off, just hearing that, but he couldn't even fathom why, before realizing it. Agh, what the hell, I'm actually worried about someone besides myself...? "Well, whatever, it wouldn't kill me to care...I guess..." Makoto mumbled to himself, approaching the girl. "Hey, I know this is none of my business, but that was seriously uncalled for." he said obviously bothered, before asking her "What the hell's your problem?"

As she turned around in an attempt to walk away, Kaya came face to face with another stranger looking to chew her out. In the past, had something like this happened she would have just frozen still and be utterly overwhelmed at the barrage of noise. Ever since she got her new Persona though, she's found that her former patience is now gone as well as a willingness to care. Stretching her neck with a tilt of her head, she told the boy, "I'm not quite sure actually. Kinda just want to leave right now." Kaya turned towards the two and tossed the boy a quick glance as he wiped his nose with his sleeve. Grumbling under her breath, she told the kid, "If it means anything, it was a slip of the tongue. Now feel free to roll on back-dammit." The woman's expression once again twisted into an expression of rage as she exploded onto our unfortunate heroine. "What kind of person says that to a child?! Who the-What... Apologize this instant!" Aaaaand back to square one. |

Kazuki was just on his way out of the book store he spent a good amount of time in, reading over his latest purchase when he heard the commotion going on nearby. It looked like a bit of a situation that was getting out of hand, so he figured he at least try to lend a helping hand. He approached, putting his book away "Excuse me..." he bowed politely "I couldn't help but overhear. This may be none of my business, but I wanted to see what I could do..." he said, looking at the different parties here. He felt bad for the child, but also understood there might be other situations at work here, like stress on the offending girl's part and Makoto from earlier getting confrontational about it likely wasn't helping. He gulped, worried that he might just make it worse, but he couldn't let that stop him "L-let's think this over for a minute. It's a busy time of day, so m-maybe stress is a factor...now, it doesn't excuse rudeness, but it helps to have insight on someone and give them a chance to calm down before really judging them." he said to the older woman. He looks at the girl "Are you well? You really should apologize for what you said, but I want to make sure you're not too stressed or anything...is there anything I can do?" |

"Yeah, I get it. It just annoys me to see other people be a dick for no reason, I guess..." Makoto surmised to Kazuki, before continuing "You still can't mouth off to whoever the hell you want though, you know." He said facing the girl, worried, "B-but still, I'm sorry. I kind of overreacted. I mean, what's going on here even? It sounds like you were being an ass, but I know better than anyone that anyone can, really...". He was bad with women, he always was, especially at times like this. "Dear god I'm awkward..." he mumbled to himself, "I guess what I mean is...well, let's start with names, I guess. My names' Makoto, what's yours?" He asked, honestly (if not awkwardly) speaking

Kaya turned her head to the boys as she began to gnash her teeth in frustration. If nothing, one of the boys tried to placate the woman. She forced out a smile as she answered the one addressing himself as Makoto, "Names are unimportant, like mosquitoes and the elderly. I admit that I might have some issues with impulse control and I will try to work on it." She turned to the woman, who was helping the child blow his nose. "I... apologize. I admit, it must be hard to take care of a child with needs like his." The woman raised an eyebrow as she quietly hissed out, "The hell do you mean 'needs'." "Well, I just saw that the kid had no neck and a face too small for his head and it reminded me of this documentary I saw about children whose mothers drank or smoked while pregnant-oh..." Realizing that she once again talked herself into another blunder, began slapping the side of her head in rage. The woman's eyes widened in horror as she realized what the scarred girl meant. "Y-You... I... I won't stand for this! You had better hope we never see you again!" As she dragged the child away, she turned to the other boys and told them, "For your sakes, let me give you some advice: Some people are beyond hope, so just walk away." |

Kazuki watched as the angered woman stormed off, not really approving of her words "Beyond help. Such a narrow-minded and naive notion....everyone has a chance to become a better person...though that is ultimately up to them." he said to no one in particular. He smiled softly and turned to face Kaya "Though just leaving them certainly won't help anybody...my name is Kazuki Mori...I apologize if I wound up just making things worse, but I can't stand by and watch an argument unfold like that without doing...well, something. Maybe I should learn to mind my own business...in any case, are you okay?" he asked, genuinely worried. Stress and frustration are things he is no stranger to, so he had hoped that lending a helping hand and a friendly voice would help out. |

"So, what even got you to this point? I mean being this...insensitive..." Makoto's voice trailed off, his thoughts drifting off to other things thinking about Kazuki's words, before refocusing. "By the way, you said names are unimportant. I don't think they are, they're kind of important, otherwise none of us would have even the idea of individuality in my opinion..." He paused, "A-anyway, I ask again, what's your name?"

Taking a momentary pause from bruising herself, Kaya looked back at the two boys with a look of agitation. She considered the idea of lashing out at them, but ultimately decided that she did not have it in her. Plus, considering where simple comments have gotten her, yelling might make things worse. As she slowly took a breath, the girl pursed her lips and clenched her fist, responding with a quiet, "... My name is Kaya. I've been having... Trouble with impulse control as of late. I appreciate the concern, but I think it is something best handled by myself." That or close friends. Speaking of which, Hanako or Kyo would probably have a field day where they here. |

"If you think that's the best way to deal with it, then I'll respect it. But...if you need anything it would help if you had people to fall back on in case it gets to be too much. Not that I'm really one to talk." he said, chuckling to himself nervously. "I usually spend my free time at the book store here, so if you need anything, I'll do my best to help! Is that...strange, for a stranger to offer? I apologize if so, Kaya-san." He looked over to Makoto, appreciating his views on individuality "Individuality is a great thing to have, yes. It's more than our names, though. What we do, how we do it, what we want to come from what we do...that's what makes us individuals, I think. A name is simply what people will remember." |
