[The phone starts recording at Makoto tries to pry a growing cat off of the screen. There's a little objective mew as he does but he gives him a little chin scritch.]

Oh, Felix. I know, you miss him. [A little meow and he head butts the phone, giving Makoto a chance to turn it full towards him and- oh. It's recording.]

Ah, sorry about that. I, uh, I'm not very good at this but I guess I should tell everyone that Yu Narukami has gone back home. I have his cat, Felix.

[This time, a fuzzy little head butt the phone to look at him.] I've never cared for a cat before. We had Koromaru back in the dorm on Tatsumi Port Island but he's a dog. And pretty self sufficient.

So, advice on taking care of a cat would be very appreciated.

[fatedcontract]

Sorry. [Kind of.] I guess I'm a little protective since he was Yu's.

I guess I am. I met Felix when Yu first got him, so it keeps him close. And Felix already knows me. [And has the blue-haired boy wrapped around his paw.]

[vedaandme]

You were close with Yu. Was this someone you met here or were they from home? [Tieria didn't understand the benefits of being owned by a pet, yet. He would likely some day.]

[fatedcontract]

Back home. [Just a little smile.] We're both kind of... special cases back home. So we're close. As close as we can be anyway, for not going to the same school or anything.

[Someday soon, hopefully.]

[vedaandme]

You mentioned to me about being special before. Is your friend like you, then?

[Did this Yu also have a thing about the moment of death?]

[fatedcontract]

Yeah, he is. He's a Wild Card too, I don't entirely know what his contract is though. I never asked.

[As far as he knows, no.]

[vedaandme]

Are there a lot like you in your world?

[Tieria remembered him mentioning about others, but had they talked about the actual numbers? He didn't think so.]

[fatedcontract]

I don't think there are. Not Wild Cards anyway, Igor told me it had been ages since he'd last had a guest. Persona's are just supposed to be kind of rare in general but I guess we're localized when there are any.

It's kind of weird.

[vedaandme]

I supposed it must be. Though, if it is weird for you, then I am certain you can understand that it is even more so for me.

[Tieria might sound a little amused on that.]

I do wish you luck with your cat, however. I have not cared for one before.

[fatedcontract]

Yeah, definitely. I wish I could explain it all better but I kind of... fell into it all.

[Makoto manages a smile of his own.]

Thanks, I might need it. You're welcome to come and meet Felix if you want.

[vedaandme]

Maybe I will. I have considered if a pet would be worth the work.

[fatedcontract]

Really?

[His smile warms.]

I'd say it is. We had Koro-chan in my dorms back home, and he was great. And Felix is usually a sweetheart.

[vedaandme]

Then I think I would like to meet Felix.

I appreciate the offer.

[fatedcontract]

Great. Just let me know when you're free, I'll make sure to bring along his favorite treats.

[Which... he's still figuring out.]

[vedaandme]

I will. Thank you.

[Tieria managed to give Makoto a small smile.]

I will talk to soon.

[fatedcontract]

[Hey, that smile is pretty nice.]

See you soon. I'll make sure Felix is on his best behavior when you meet him.
