[X] ...Let's talk about the time you were told to save the world.
Also, having caught up, man, I'm both worried and curious as to when that thing with Lavenza is gonna come back up. Because unless I missed something, her Deal (tm) with Akira getting a Persona was never quite resolved.
Edit: Also, Elizabeth, you should really hang out with people even after you've maxed their bonds. Dang, that interlude hurt.
Well, hopefully this is enough of a kick to get her to do that in the future...

Ever since the last trip to Tartarus, Fuuka had been feeling strange. Like there was something she was missing, that would be important for everyone to know.
She tried to ignore that feeling. Dwelling on it wasn't going to solve anything. What was important was working with everything she already knew, because she could extrapolate based on that, and whatever Lucia was showing her next. She was good at extrapolating.
All this was doing was causing her to stress out without any way of fixing things.
"If you need to relax, why not go see a movie?" Yukari suggested. The field leader of SEES always felt so confident, it was easy to trust her advice. The film festival had ended for the year, but that didn't mean there wasn't something nice to watch.
Just watch, and see what happens.
...It didn't work. She could invest herself in the story, while she was there, but once she left, it all came flooding back. Just walking through the theater doors was enough to cause that strange disorientation.
She'd need to find another way.
Thankfully, the Cooking Club was the same as ever. She could make edible food now, even if it didn't always come out tasting the best. Any mistakes she made were ones caused by distraction.
But once the oven timer was set, as long as it didn't break again, distraction could be allowed for a bit. "So what did you all think of that announcement last week?" Natsuki asked.
Last week, Liz had helped one of her friends get into the PA system. Fuuka understood that much, even if she'd been frustratingly evasive on why she'd did it. The contents of the announcement had at least provided some context. "I think... she must have gotten desperate, to make an announcement like that." Because who would subject themself to that sort of scrutiny unless the consequences for not doing so were worse?
It might have blown over if she'd left it alone, but who knows if she had enough time for that?
"Yeah... the worst thing is, I kind of believe her. The people I hung out with in middle school did some really messed up shit." Natsuki had also participated in that, but Fuuka tactfully declined to bring that up. They both remembered it, and things were different now. What was the point of bringing up bad memories?
"They did catch the creep who was spying on girls' sports," Shinjiro remarked. "And by 'they,' I mean the Photo Club. Teachers weren't any use."
"How did they do that?" Nozomi was now paying more attention to people than his mixing bowl. This almost never happened.
"Apparently, the guy got lazy and started printing his pictures in the school darkroom." That would lead to getting caught easily, wouldn't it?
It occurred to Fuuka that, even without Tartarus, Gekkoukan High was always going to be an interesting place. "He didn't move to digital?"
"Have you seen how expensive good film is?" Natsuki pointed out. "I'd want to use all of it I could... just, you know, for normal things."
Normal... Fuuka would only ever be able to take pictures of normal things. Her digital camera didn't work in the Dark Hour, and a pinhole camera wouldn't create an image in color. Shadows wouldn't stay still long enough to get a good exposure. She wouldn't be able to save those memories.
Would we want to?
It probably didn't matter. She wouldn't be able to forget this year either way. And a lot of her friends knew about it, so she wouldn't have to prove its existence to others.
But now that the idea had occurred to her, she was always going to wonder what it might have changed.
The full moon was almost a disaster.
Intellectually, Fuuka knew it wasn't her fault. Keeping the team in formation was not her responsibility. It wasn't even remotely close to her responsibility. Her responsibility was to make reports on events that were happening, not try and control other people's actions on the battlefield.
But the one who broke off had been Ken, and Ken was just eleven, and she just kept thinking about that.
Mitsuru listened to her panicking, which was sort of weird. She wasn't particularly close with Mitsuru.
But Mitsuru was close to Ken, and that meant something. "I think the only thing we could have done differently was forbid him from coming along." She was busily inspecting the stocks of microwave yakisoba, which hardly anyone ate because it made a huge mess all over the kitchen. "Given what day it was, things went incredibly well."
October fourth... The relevance had been mentioned, on rare occasions, but Fuuka never put much thought to it. It was a date that just happened to have had something bad happen on it.
It had also happened to be a full moon.
When she reminded herself of that, it became more of a relief that disaster hadn't struck. "If you looked from outside, you'd never know there was anything different." Really, none of them should have been as well-adjusted as they were.
"You wouldn't." Mitsuru's gaze was fixed on something Fuuka couldn't see, despite how her whole power was sight. "Sometimes, I think about the disasters that may have been averted just by being ourselves. I'll never know, but I want to think this is one of the better outcomes."
It doesn't matter how bad the world is, as long as we're living in the best possible one.
She wanted to think that, too.
But what did it say that, even in the best world she could imagine for herself, they still came this close to the edge of disaster?
When disaster actually struck, that also involved Ken. He'd tried his best to avert it, but it hadn't been enough.
But Fuuka wasn't thinking about that.
She was thinking about how she'd never seen someone die before.
She hadn't realized how much blood there was in the human body. She hadn't known what intestines looked like. She'd seen what swords could to to Shadows, but not what they could do to a regular human being. And she hadn't been able to look away.
It made her parents' disappointment easier to deal with, at least. She knew she'd never be able to make it as a doctor.
"How am I going to explain this?" Officer Kurosawa asked. It was probably a rhetorical question.
But if she hadn't been able to do anything in the moment, she could at least help with the aftermath. "Her friend said... her parents didn't want her to come home. Maybe you could do something with that." She'd never met the Hasegawas, but she already didn't like them.
That could have been us.
Her own parents hadn't thought much about the night she'd been stuck in Tartarus, either.
If it weren't for Shinjiro and Natsuki, she would have ended up like Saori.
She tried not to consider that very often. Maybe she needed to do it a bit more.
"You know, if anything, I should be thanking you guys." For Natsuki's final day in the club, they were making cheesecake. It was questionable if any of it would turn out good to eat, but it meant she'd be leaving with either good food or a funny story. "If it wasn't for this club... I'd still be the bitch I was at the start of high school."
"I- I think you woul d have turned around eventually." Fuuka wanted to think it, at least. She seemed a lot happier the way she was now, even if she still ended up in the occasional fight with a fangirl.
"Yeah, but... maybe I wouldn't. And then... well, you've heard the things people were saying about that girl who died last week. If I was one of them, and then I left, and that was how people remembered me..."
Then there wouldn't be any sadness about her leaving. There wouldn't be any dismay at the announcement, or promises to keep in touch, or tentative attempts at cheesecake.
...Well, there might still have been cake. But not for a good reason.
"I mean, they might have forgotten all about it," Shinjiro said. "If you don't stand out in particular, you're just another face."
"Is that any better?"
That was a question Fuuka was undisputedly not qualified to answer. She didn't think she stood out much, aside from who she associated with, and that was still enough to spend a night in Tartarus. Maybe being notable didn't matter as much as people thought it did. "I think... it only matters if you're happy with who you are, Natsuki-chan." She hadn't been happy being that kind of person, but that part could be left unsaid.
Natsuki nodded along. "Fuuka-chan... you should take your own advice sometimes."
"My... own advice?"
"You've been really stressed out recently. I can't say I know what you're going through, but... as long as you're still you, I think it'll turn out all right." It was easier to believe that from Natsuki than anyone else. Maybe because she didn't say nice things a lot, so she could be sure she meant it.
"...Thanks." She'd close her eyes to compose herself, but it wouldn't do anything. She'd still be able to see everything around her. She was sure she'd be able to convince Juno to stop eventually, but it had been less than half an hour. She'd let her have her fun. "Just... you're not talking about the cheesecake, right?"
"...Yeah, there is such a thing as having too much faith in someone, isn't there?"
The cheesecake actually turned out not terrible. It wasn't perfect, but it could be sliced, and the whole thing had the same texture.
It was progress.
She tried to ignore that feeling. Dwelling on it wasn't going to solve anything. What was important was working with everything she already knew, because she could extrapolate based on that, and whatever Lucia was showing her next. She was good at extrapolating.
All this was doing was causing her to stress out without any way of fixing things.

There's going to be something beyond this. You have to keep telling yourself that, or your fears for the future start to become overwhelming.
It's actually not that hard to keep telling yourself that, because you have proof, from all the way back when this started.
"Well..." Do you directly say it involves the time travel? You aren't sure it'll make things that much weirder, but it also doesn't feel helpful. "I had this dream once."
"...A dream?" Fuuka-san looks confused, and to be fair, it's not like you've told her much of anything with that. You need to build up to it.
You nod. "Do you remember my friend Lavenza? That was the first time I ever saw her." Maybe you should mention how it's connected to the time travel, but Fuuka-san's smart. She'll figure it out, and it's not like time travel's ever directly made things less complicated.
It let Makoto-san and Narukami-san get to know each other, but that might have been more curse than blessing.
"She told me I had to save the world. And I... don't think it's related to the full moons." If that keeps being a problem well into your teenage years, you think you'd have bigger issues to deal with than... whatever happened back then.
You wish there was someone you could talk to to make it easier to understand. Unfortunately, that's the one thing Morgana doesn't have clear memories of, and Elizabeth is Elizabeth.
If only there were someone around who actually knew what happened, but the three of you are the only time travelers you know of.
"...When do you expect this to happen?"
You shrug, because you have no idea. You have a pretty good idea of when you'll know if you've succeeded or not, based on if the world actually ends. That doesn't mean you know when you have to act to avert it. For all you know, it might be something you'll have to do years ahead of time. "I know it won't be in the next week." And you have far less than that until the full moon.
However small your words might be, it's enough for Fuuka-san to continue attempting to teach you, and you reach a point where any previously struck weakness should be committed to memory.
You still can't find them without trial and error, though.
With luck, this will at least be enough to last you through the full moon.
And the full moon is coming soon. There's not much time before you have to gear up for a fight you don't feel entirely prepared for.
...Still, it can't possibly be any worse than last month.
You'd like not to think about it, though. And one of your friends has offered you a very good way to not think about it... you hope.

ApocalypticFish
Been reflecting lately.
Hm.
The Akira option is probably his Persona, or at least magic. PQ1 being erased from his memory probably won't have sealed it back up, and it's specifically something he wants to show us. I'm not sure what else it would be, given the weight that seems to be there behind each of these options. I feel like we'll find out some point soon regardless, so I'm not too interested in investigating that right now.
Lavenza is...well, I feel like that's going to be heavy. Probably something to do with the events that happened during the PQ1 arc, I figure. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears.
Futaba's mother, I don't know, but it probably would mean that Futaba's mentioned something that would get her interest and possibly mean that we can pull her into the fold. Does anyone else know off the top of their head how much time we have left until she dies? That could be a factor to consider. Edit: I'm dumb. We have plenty of time until her usual time of death; the main concern is really whether she'll move away or something.
And Elizabeth is Elizabeth. Who knows how that'll end up; it could be a slam dunk, or it could just be something minor. Though personally, I suspect that she made her decision to go back in time before all of this happened...somehow. Given that Lavenza said that Elizabeth was the last one to have access to those protocols in the first post, and Elizabeth doesn't seem to have shown any recognition of the Yaldabaoth problem, at least.
I'll admit that I'm pulled in the direction of Lavenza because I want to get that sorted out sooner rather than later, but I'm not sure that'd actually happen.
Ah well. For now,

I mean, I honestly don't get the impression that this would be a moment of need, with how the vote is phrased. Any more than any given moment already is for Akira, anyway, but I don't think this is about his home life.

We're still kind of on a sour note with Lavenza after the PQ stuff, and IC we don't really know it. Lets not let that fester.

I think this vote is for the information we'll regret not getting the most. And given that we don't know what Elizabeth's plan is and she's bad at peopling this is the one I think most likely to just blow up suddenly. Like her doing sacrifice of self to save a certain Fool.

Hm. You make a good point; honestly, I hadn't considered what talking to Elizabeth might entail as strongly as I perhaps should have, and that last possibility is one that I haven't given much thought to. If enough people would be willing to vote for it, I might be willing to switch my vote.
