Before I start, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo and, as the rest of this message will doubtless betray soon enough, I have only recently arrived. I apologise in advance if any of this seems overly blunt or harsh. This isn't like any situation I'm accustomed to so I ask that you forgive any breach of personal or local etiquette and trust that it isn't intentional on my part.

That being said, I do have some questions concerning our job assignments - not the job we were brought here for, I understand that, but the employment we are granted in order that we are able to support ourselves financially. While I don't wish to seem ungrateful, I'm not certain I'm entirely cut out for the role I have been assigned to and, truthfully speaking, I have to question how it is they determine who is given what job. Is it entirely random? Or are we supposed to consider it a challenge to test our adaptability?

And following on from that, how would those who have already done so advise that I go about seeking employment I feel I am more suited to? I am happy to expand on my skillset should the need arise but I feel that is perhaps better suited for private conversation where it holds relevance.

Thank you in advance for your time and your assistance.

That's understandable. It's natural to focus on things as they affect us and think rather less on what might have come before or since.

[Especially in matters relating to Shadows, which most people have no reason to consider until they're forced to confront them.]

I have. I was very young when mine developed. Perhaps that is why I find it so difficult to foresee myself no longer being involved with dealing with Shadows.

Your Persona must be incredibly powerful if you have been able to use it for so long. You must be quite skilled.

I'm not sure I'd go that far. Regardless of my own experience, I still would not get far without the support of others.

[Which she can admit, now she's in a place where she's a little more willing to be open with at least her fellow SEES members.]

I feel the same way. I know I could not have done what I needed to do without the help of my friends.

I suppose that's true for everyone, regardless of what they might believe.

[She knows she was once guilty of believing that she bore the burden of rectifying her grandfather's wrongs by herself, and she knows she's not the only member of SEES to have held belief, at one time or another, that they were on their own.]

Oh, my apologies. I realize this entire time I have been speaking with you I never once properly introduced myself.
Haru Okumura.

A pleasure to meet you, Okumua-san. I imagine we will see a fair amount of each other, given the overlap of those we know.

[And, you know, because Haru's a Persona user and Mitsuru feels obliged to be on hand for any and all of those, of her time or otherwise.]

I do hope so. I am quite excited to meet other Persona users.
I have so many questions!

I would be happy to answer what I am able to. In turn, I hope you won't mind filling me in on the circumstances that led to the Shadows' activities in your time.

[ Oh dear, she begins to wonder how much she should say. ]

I will do my very best! I was the last to awaken to my Persona, so there was much I missed out on to my knowledge.

That's fine. Whatever you are able to share will be gratefully received.
