With Chidori in the hospital, it's hard to go back to the way things were between them. Junpei played a big role in helping her talk somewhat, and while Makoto was happy for him, it was still weird seeing her so calm. On top of that, she healed a small wound on the palm of his hand when he fell before coming here and tried to hide it by shoving it in his pocket.

He was still looking at it even now, in awe.

"We're still enemies. You should hate me, not help me. But... thanks, I guess. Your Persona... how did you get it?" His gaze fell on the redhead. "You're different from us, so I'm curious... that's all." Still in a monotone voice, he couldn't hide his curiosity.

✞  ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ He knows its a bit late to play this off as nothing. He might have been tempted to, if he could cut ties cleanly. For their sake, not his. To suddenly be approached, with a clear shocked fascination, by a man who clearly knew her name, a man that looked like... this. He's changed very little since his last life, his eyes still glowed golden, his hair only a little longer down his back, different jeans, still no shirt. " ... I'm... but a stranger to you, aren't I? "

Even if he doesn't know how, he knew one reason why. They knew this would happen. Didn't they? All memory of their time together, the experiments, completely erased. Like it never happened. His resurrection was unusual, he was spared that, but... it makes sense they wouldn't be. The strange, pale man seems to shut his eyes and almost smile, shaking his head. " Then if you so choose, I will remain that. I have no reason to burden you with a pointless past... It is yours to embrace or discard... " Said nonchalantly, though there's a twinge of something like saying goodbye. Not that he hasn't parted with them before...

"Nothing." He lied. Nothing really rattled him. Makoto had walled off his emotions from others. Something that he struggled to turn off even with people he trusted. They had a difficult fight and he had gotten hurt. It was rare for him to act out of emotion, but he had been certain the Shadow would have killed someone had he not taken the blow. They couldn't go back ton Tartarus until he recovered. He was angry at himself.

She was not really someone he trusted. But at the same time, it seemed more acceptable to show his weakness to her than those that relied on him.

"We had a close call... That's all."
