Mandated Visit | Maruki and Minato

@soulphrxse

Maruki had dealt with some interesting cases before, and it wasn’t out of the ordinary for someone to be mandated by their physician to see a counselor. What was strange, however, was the track record of the young man he would be seeing today; one Minato Arisato, whose hospital record was... concerning, to say the least. It was no wonder that he was ordered to a counselor, but it made Maruki wonder if he’d seen other counselors and it just didn’t work, or if the hospital failed to make him see anyone after discharging him.

Either way, Maruki figured he had his work cut out for him, but he would try his best to help this young man. After all, no one deserves to be unhappy or stressed. If Maruki can help even a little bit, that would’ve made him overjoyed.

Finally, a knock at the door. “Come in!” The door opened and in stepped a blue-haired young man. Maruki gave a welcoming smile to the youth and gestured to one of the couches near the chair Maruki was sitting in.

“Minato Arisato-kun, right? Thank you for coming in today. I’m Doctor Takuto Maruki, but you may call me whatever you like, if it makes you comfortable. How’re you doing today?”

What ever this Spirale was, it seemed like a normal city...almost. There were certain things that were strange in the architecture but the people, the sounds, and the smells were all very familiar. Mitsuru had thought this city might have been something akin to the Dark Hour or the TV World in Inaba, but this was something else. And there was no telling how long she would be here. Everyone being keen on pointing out how impossible leaving the island was didn't bode well.

As she walked aimlessly down the street and considered her next course of action, something in her peripheral vision caught her attention. It was a boy with blue hair crossing the street and waving to catch her attention. Did he know her? He certainly didn’t look familiar, but he clearly didn’t look both ways before crossing the street.

“Look out!” The woman cried out, but her Evoker was already drawn and pressed to her temple. “Artemisia!” Mitsuru invoked the name of her persona as the Evoker went off, making Artemisia materialise between the teenager and the careless driver heading straight toward him. With a horrendous screech the vehicle is halted by the persona, which promptly dissipates now that her task has been carried out.

Mitsuru rushed over to the boy in concern. “What were you thinking?” She scolded him. Upon closer inspection, there was something...oddly familiar about him. She couldn’t help feeling like she knew him somehow, and yet she still didn’t recognise him or know his name.

“This might sound odd, but have we met? You seem to know me, yet I don’t know you at all. I’m getting a strange sense of deja vu.”

[ ☩ ] - While without enough funds to purchase, there wasn't any particular law in regards to simply taking a book to read in store to give it a few glance overs to see if it was something one was interested in. While finding herself between the aisles, a finger tracing by each spine, she'd pull out a peculiar book, one in a series, that caught her eye quite easily. 

" Icha Icha.. Paradise..? I don't believe I've seen this before.. " Although a quick glance at the 18+ notion on the cover would cause the woman's face to rise in temperature for a moment.. as she would quickly crack the book open for a few peaks at its contents.
