Thread: Time to Make History {Van + Mellow}

It was strange, perhaps even ironic, that this 'sleepy countryside town' had proven itself to be far more hectic and interesting than any day back in Kyoto had been. It was something not lost on Yu Narukami, but also something he hadn't said to his other friends. No doubt the others felt the same way- going from ordinary schooldays to entering a parallel world inside the TV to stop some mysterious serial killer. Yu, having been nominated as 'leader' of their little group, still found the time to ponder this interesting quirk in between heading up their rescue operations and making time for his friends. Both aspects were going well as Yu was managing to juggle and strengthen a good deal of his friendships and had worked with the others to rescue Kanji Tatsumi from his own prison inside the TV world. Though he would likely be forever haunted by the abundance of homoeroticism in that place... Things were going well for Yu, and yet... and yet... well there was this niggling worry in the back of his mind, this discomfort that he couldn't shake. Once the bell tolled at the end of the schoolday, the silver haired young man had felt that same strange anxiety come sinking back into his mind. He always feared something bigger was on the horizon, that their next foray into the TV world could well be their last. And then there was the worry on their nebulous and enigmatic adversary, a person who had to hold the same power the rest of them had. If not just the ability to enter the TV world, then there was the likelihood that he could summon a Persona of his own. That prospect alone worried him deeply. He was he leader, the rock that the others used for support and the lightning rod that helped keep them all grounded. Who was he to talk with about his issues? He couldn't let the rest of the team think he was troubled too- at least that was what Yu told himself, for part of him feared that they wouldn't find him as reliable in that event and as a result wouldn't trust him as wholly. A foolish thought perhaps, but even bright men had foolish thoughts. 'I have stuff to do, can't keep dwelling on this,' the upper class young man thought to himself. Yu rose from his desk, stretched his arms above his head, and then made his way from the classroom to the staircase at the center of the second floor. These past few days, Yu had been spending his afternoons honing his social links- helping Yosuke and Yukiko, attending basketball practice and getting to know Kanji better now that he was a member of the team. And when he'd get home he'd get closer to his cousin Nanako or his uncle Ryotaro if they were available. Lately though most of his interest seemed to home in on Chie. There was just something about that upbeat tomboy that drew him in. Maybe it was just how fun she was, or how she was unlike anyone he had ever known in Kyoto. Whatever the reason he found himself getting closer to the cute brunette, helping her train by the floodplane and then going for beef bowls with her at Aiya. Yu opened up the heavy metal door that gave access to the roof and took just a moment to breathe in some of the cool, crisp air. A light breeze ruffled his silvery locks, but the odd young man kept his expression nice and static. He cast his gaze to his left and found Chie at her usual haunt, sitting on one of the metal length leading from the air conditioner. After closing the door Yu started heading her way. Good afternoon Satonaka-san. Working hard or hardly working?
