Thank you very much for the rescue. Everyone, I'm all right now, and the rest of the affected people are going to be fine. I know, because I'm going to help save them. (I won't budge on this, so don't try to dissuade me.)

As for what I said and did... well, call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer regular therapy to the supernatural kind. So if you want to ask, I'll do my best to answer. ...That person is me, technically, but more than a little seems to have been lost in translation.

[Failed private, easily hackable]
I looked like a tramp. Forget looking like one, I acted like one! And I - with - if I didn't have people to rescue I'd spend the rest of the day in purifying myself! No, I'd spend the entire week doing it, just to be certain I was rid of the unclean influences!

Am I supposed to return Nakamori's undergarments to her now...? I don't have any use for them myself. But I've never been in such a situation before! I don't know how to deal with this!

((Okay! I don't know how other people are handling this, but I'm going to say that all posts made on the 15th (including Haruto's last one) are before Issei's rescue, and all posts made after that are after the rescue. It's easier for me to keep track of, and I'd be remiss in not letting his boyfriend have a good panic post. Also, holy crap guys, did you see how many comments were on there? I love all of you for making Shadow!Issei so fun to play~))

Thank you very much. Unlike some of the people we're going to rescue, I don't have any prior combat experience... But I hope to make up for that with determination.

That seems like the best idea. It's just... incredibly embarrassing.

The power of Persona is the power of the self, the power of the mind. Determination and a strong ego will be your greatest assets, even if you lack experience. Just open your heart to your Persona, and he will guide you. Trust me on this.

I can only imagine...

I'll believe you. I suppose I'll have to forgive him for being rude to me, then.

It seems like you were one of the lucky ones. Out of the initial group, your Shadow was... erm, I can't put this less bluntly than "less blatantly sexual than the rest".

Every Persona is different. Sukuna-Hikona can be a cocky little brat at times, but he's rather easy-going. A Persona is just one facet of your personality. It just goes to show that even you can be a bit gruff at times!

Well, erm... I suppose that's because I've never really viewed my body as anything terribly sexy or desirable because I was so hung up on wanting to have a male body...

As long as he means well, it's fine with me.

[Locked]
That's understandable, considering. I don't view myself in that light either, yet...

I'm sure he does.

[Locked]

Well... at least you've always been comfortable being a boy, right?

It's important that we get along, in order to function well in combat.

[Locked]
Yes. I've been a woman, briefly, and found it... incredibly distressing and disturbing.

Well, our Personas will be too busy fighting, so I doubt they'd be chatting much.

[Locked]

Hm. I remember you telling me this before.

Still, it's no use disliking their personalities when they do show them.

[Locked]
My opinion of it hasn't changed. I'm really quite content being a man.

Sukuna-Hikona and I get along just fine, really! I suspect he's the reason Kaito and I get along so well. They have similar tastes, it seems.
