ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

Say what?

[He's confused not only from a moral/ethical standpoint, but also from a 'I thought he was the other ordinary guy' standpoint']

[psychs]

[ Sorry, Phoenix, he's betrayed you in normiedom...although he's at least normie again now?? No Personas or godlike powers anymore! ]

Ah, sorry. It can be a lot to take in, can't it?

[bewrightback]

[What a poser normie!!]

Y-yeah. It, it sure came out of left field there! [A nervous chuckle.] So you were actually able to do that? How is that even possible?

[psychs]

It's a bit of a long story. [ Like, 130+ hours of story. ] But to put it simply, I was granted an unusual power that allowed me to seize control of the collective unconscious. The world itself didn't actually change, but everyone's perception of it did, so they wouldn't have to carry their burdens with them anymore.

[ ...


It seemed like a good idea at the time. ]

[bewrightback]

...I see. So it was really like some kind of... mass hypnosis? [He makes slight juggling motions while making sense of it. At least if feels a bit less fantastical now that it's clear he's not rewriting the laws of reality.]

And you tried to use that to basically make people forget their pain. But then, how did that turn out?

[psychs]

[ Mass hypnosis is a good way of putting it, and also implies the correct assumption that once his Palace crumpled, so too did his way over reality. In the end, no lasting damage was done, but it still doesn't excuse what he did.

He knows what better than anyone. ]

People started to become aware of the things in their life that weren't adding up, that didn't feel the same as before. Even though they had everything they wanted, they saw through the illusion, and chose to come stop me, instead.

We wound up fighting, and...I lost.

[ He doesn't sound disappointed to have done so, however. ]

[bewrightback]

[Phoenix listens carefully as the story goes on. So the effect wasn't perfect... Some people could still see through it. And they still wanted to undo what he had done... That makes sense. Most people would want to cling to those memories and the way things should be, no matter how bad.]

Ah. So that - that brought it all to an end, huh?
