This song suddenly goes from an unashamed anthem to a quiet apology.

“You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

   ✧.  CUTE & SHIPPY : accepting  !

                  ❝   O-OH  , that --- that wasn’t my intention  AT ALL  , Masaru-san !   ❞

          She’s indignant toward the implication, huffing in protest despite still relying heavily on his strength. She attempts to steady herself by clutching tightly at his shoulders, leaning much of her weight into him all the same. 

                  ❝   It happens sometimes... It gets so hot here in the summer, you know, especially when it’s this crowded...   ❞  Chihaya trails off, and as if suddenly potently aware of the proximity between them, her cheeks immediately begin to grow a bit flushed --- her voice gaining a much harder edge, a tone she rarely lets slip in his presence.   ❝   Hey, stop looking at me like that --- !  You’ll give a woman the  wrong idea  .   ❞

                PLEASE  bear with me !!

                 I  guess this is just my go-to icon for headcanons / metas but still — let’s talk about  CHIHAYA’S ABILITIES  . 

                 Now then, when she finally discloses her past in full to you, the scope of her skills really comes to light. When she was a young girl, she successfully predicted a major earthquake. The villagers literally revered her as a  messenger from God  , & from then on heeded her every prediction. When she continued to predict  DISASTERS  , however, their opinions of her changed; they considered her a  CURSE  instead, a monster that was the sole reason these disasters were happening in the first place. While I’ll be making a separate post about her time in the village, the nature of said village, & what her adolescence was actually like for her, this is important to mention because, again, it helps understand the  scope  of Chihaya’s natural abilities.

                 I theorize that Chihaya’s quite naturally  CLAIRVOYANT  — that is, having the sensory ability to perceive future events beyond what could be considered rational or natural means. For most of her life, this ability was fairly limited to  MAJOR  future events that would affect a population on a major scale — ergo, the disasters that hit her village &, because I have a hard time believing this village got hit by that many disasters ( sorry Atlus ), tragedies that struck internationally as well. As ‘traditional’ as this village must have been, they no doubt had television sets & other means of keeping up with media — so the fact that she could predict disasters on this large a scale makes even more sense as to why they would despise & fear her so. These visions would normally come to her when she was  dreaming  , & she would write down the details in a journal upon waking — something she was taught by her parents to do from a young age. 

                 It wasn’t until she was in high school that she began enlisting the aid of tarot. As she grew older, her dreams began to not only include future disasters, but more mundane events as well — both positive & negative. Hopeful that she could regain the villagers’ good graces by telling them of the good & bad changes heading their way — in the latter case, to warn them — she used tarot to hone her preexisting psychic abilities. As we know, her plan clearly backfired; I believe her pitfalls with the villagers’ futures combined with the gradual fallout with her best friend  REALLY  compounded for her the notion that  fate is absolute  , unavoidable, inevitable. I mean… Could you imagine how awful it must be to warn a neighbor of trouble with their crops, of infidelity on their partner’s behalf, of even a  major accident, injury, or death  , only to have them disregard your warnings & walk headlong into their fate anyway ?  And then curse  YOU  afterward as being the cause ?  For Chihaya, the only good thing that came out of it is that she learned to not only control her natural talents, but hone them as well — & no matter how bleak the prediction, hope for a day when someone might take her seriously. What this ultimately means is that in theory, she  DOES NOT  need tarot to predict a future event — but the predicted event would be  RANDOM  & would occur  IN A DREAM  . She uses the tarot to explore the future of a  SPECIFIC PERSON  on a   SPECIFIC SUBJECT  . 

                 Because of her natural abilities, other traits of Chihaya’s are extremely heightened. She is  highly empathetic  , able to register certain expressions, tones of voice, or body language as indicative of someone’s emotions — not only can she understand them, but she feels them potently. She is  not  quite on the level of an  EMPATH  —  when someone can feel & perceive someone’s emotions so intimately that it affects them on a large, chronic scale — but she  does  have an extremely heightened sensitivity to them. Chihaya also has other qualities of a clairvoyant, most of which hinge on  EXTREMELY HIGH INTUITION  ; she can often predict when she’s about to get a text or phone call, & may even call  YOU  to ask what it is you want; she also has a heightened sense of  AWARENESS  , able to sense when danger might be near, when someone may in fact  be  in danger, & at times can sense when something… Supernatural may be out & about. It isn’t rare for her to stop mid-conversation & cant her head as if responding to something else the other person may not be able to see or hear or feel, but due to how her abilities have been treated in the past, she will rarely  explain  the interruption to anyone. Honestly, she’s probably stopped & stared at the vague outlines of the Velvet Room’s entrance on more than one occasion. She still keeps a dream journal, & if she trusts you, she may share them with you; she has an entire shelf in her apartment dedicated to the journals she’s had over the years. She has used up more than six  journals, crammed cover to cover with visions, & she keeps every single one — highlighting the ones that have come true, & keeping note of the ones that have yet to occur.

               THESE  are slight spoilers for those who haven’t completed her confidant, but it’s not extremely relevant to the plot or anything, so… 

               But man, can we just acknowledge how rough she really had it when she first left home ?  Chihaya was sheltered to an extent from the start ( another essay for another day ), & isolated to boot thanks to the villagers ostracizing her ( to put things mildly ) — so Shinjuku was no doubt a shock to the system in itself. Fresh-faced & eighteen, she runs out of money fast & takes the first job she can secure — which happens to be at ‘a seedy nightclub’.

               I headcanon that she spent about two years working at this nightclub, & worked as a full-time cocktail waitress for at least part of that first year. I also, however, can’t help but use some context clues here. The Chairman of the Assembly of Divine Power made a point to stress  SEEDY NIGHTCLUB  & the fact that she found herself  SURROUNDED BY SEEDY PEOPLE  ; Chihaya echoes this when she explains her past in its entirety to you, but both during & prior, she seems  incredibly  ashamed to even acknowledge that brief part of her life existed. She even lies about her actual time at the club, alleging that she was ‘tricked’ into going in & effectively ran right back out. I feel  very strongly  that there’s some blanks that we’re supposed to fill in here; I feel  very strongly  that some time during her second year at the nightclub, she became a  ‘DANCER’  part-time in order to support herself &, hopefully, find her own place to stay. This would explain the unspoken tension, but it would also explain some other interesting points of her story. For example, she later says that the Chairman must have known she was out of options because her luggage was within his sight — but why would she have her luggage at her workplace ?  I presume this is because she was offered room & board on top of her salary; it’s also possible this is why she felt she had to take up dancing — in order to more efficiently ‘earn her keep,’ make her presence there worth the trouble. It also explains why she would break down immediately once the Chairman offers her a way out; being a cocktail waitress in a club  IS  taxing — groping & otherwise inappropriate behavior is practically encouraged in that environment — but it doesn’t quite warrant that strong a reaction; besides that, it would only strengthen her motivation to earn additional money & leave more quickly.  

               I think her time in the nightclub definitely impacted her, especially at such a young age. It’s why she covers so much of her body; that isn’t to say all those who dance are ashamed of it, but it was a situation she  never wanted to be in  . It also only compounded the virtually nonexistent self-worth she’d struggled with growing up ( another essay for another day ). I also think it strongly impacted her sense of innocence, & that much of her mannerisms — even when she ‘lets loose’ as a ‘country bumpkin’ — are somewhat exaggerated. Keep in mind she’s spent  THREE YEARS  in the  RED LIGHT DISTRICT  — & two of those were spent immersed in it. It’s a memory she’d much rather forget, & altering her style & personality is most definitely a part of that desire.

“YOU DID WHAT?!”

“Tell me a secret.”

“No one needs to know.”
