(Not an orange head of hair peeking towards the hallway, so, if it's not Leo, who he now is sure inhabits the school, surely has got to be the other music person they've got.

Look, he's right. He offers a small smile to the words, before he realizes that--

Oh, that's right. Izumi knows Yoshizawa, even if it was through Ren's eyes.)

It sure is her. (He laughs - he probably did mention that some people might recognize her due to the memory swap they've had not too long ago. There's proof.)

[feale]

[ It's not quite the Underground Mall, but then again, no place she's found here is "quite" what it's meant to be. At least the stores have clothing. Even if it's all the same school uniform in a variety of colors, she'll at least have other options available than her gymnastics camp gear.

When the grey-haired head pops unexpectedly out of one of the rooms, she squeaks and moves a little closer to Ren. But it seems he knows Ren... and...

He knows her, too? For a moment, she's confused, a questioning glance between the stranger and her senpai. But then she remembers what Ren told her - something about memories being mixed up, switched between residents of this Void place, that there are people who know her despite her never having met them. And so Yoshizawa offers the young man a small, hesitant smile. ]

H-Hello!

[obsessiveness]

[ oh, right. she may not be aware of the whole memory mumbo-jumbo that just happened a while back. it's a strange way to meet someone the first time, that's for sure.

well, in that case. placing a hand on his hip, he walks over to them with a poise of an aloof model. ]

And? Aren't you going to introduce me to her?

[ she looks pretty timid for someone who just danced her troubles away in that memory, hm... ]

BIG ASS PERSONA5 ROYAL SPOILERS HERE.

(Ren only chuckles, because he had just opened his mouth to do exactly that.

Izumi truly is a celebrity, isn't he? From pose to tone.)

Sumire-chan, (Still feels a tad strange, but alas, it is what it is,) this is Sena-san. He's the one who's seen you dancing.

EVEN BIGGER ASS PERSONA 5 ROYAL SPOILERS

[ It's a moment from their shared past that she knows well, and it makes her smile to think that it was important enough to him that it was shared, even involuntarily.

She's still a little more shy than he would expect her to be, probably, as she steps forward and into a bow. After all, she's not the same girl who he saw in that memory - but nor is she that girl's cringing, scared younger sister. Not anymore. And so when she straightens up from the bow, her smile is a little broader, a little more confident. ]

I-It's nice to meet you, Sena-san! My name Yoshizawa Sumire!

[obsessiveness]

[ well, it wasn't like he wanted to see it; it's a total breach of privacy after all, even if the aforementioned memory is tame compared to the other bunch of memories that were getting switched around. at the very least, he didn't get any form of trauma from it.

he does notice that she seems very meek compared to what he'd seen in that memory, but he won't nitpick on that for now. ]

Sena Izumi. Well, at least she knows her manners.

[ a smirk that's... actually a lot more friendlier than what he lets on. ]

It's kinda you're showing the transfer student around the school, Amamiya. Is that why you guys are here?

[forethinking]

(Later, he will regret being so happy that Izumi didn't see anything Persona related, but as of now, he's grateful that it helps him feel a bit more open towards Sumi, he can definitely see that smirk, Izumi!

Ren intended to be in the background, only here as a way to encourage Sumi to meet and interact with the others, so he was already on another thought when he was addressed.)

Huh? In a way. (Ren laughs at the comparison, shaking his head just a little.) Showing her around the Void.

[feale]

[ She smiles in response, a little unnerved by his smirk, but not complaining about it either. And she's quiet when the question is asked of Ren, letting him answer before she nods her own reply. ]

Yes, because I'm new here, Senpai is showing me around. There's a lot to take in...

[ Too much, if she's honest. There are so many places, so many people... She's not sure how she's ever meant to get used to a place such as this. But she has to - she can't allow herself to rely on him forever, can she?

She takes a deep breath. ]

Sena-san, I feel like I'm trying to catch up, here... Will you tell me a little about yourself?

[obsessiveness]

[ yeah, he's been there. like sumi, leo had shown him around the world, giving him the low-down on how everything worked, so it's fortunate that she's got some people from her world to rely on in here.

he huffs out a smile at her request, and beckons the two to come follow him down the hall. ]

Well, for starters, I'm a graduate from Yumenosaki Academy, a school for idols. We're standing inside it right now - or at least the half of it.

[ why combine it with an underground mall, though... ]

I'm also a model, and I was in Florence before I got sucked into this mess of a world. Pretty sure parts of it has already manifested in some form here by now, and I am not looking forward to it. [ sigh. ] Anyway, since I've got nothing else to do, I'll just take you guys on a tour. Be grateful.
