Its hard to drop something that has been such a big part of your life when its over.
You check the weather every morning, only to remember that it's not going to matter much anymore. You don't have to practice your kicks after school anymore. Your battle shoes sit unworn in a corner of your closet, and you want to pick them up and walk into Junes, but… there's no point anymore.
And its a good thing. Its indisputably a good thing. People are not dying anymore, and you have solved the murders, and its for the best. It really is.
There's no reason to miss the dungeons, and shadows, and the collapse to the floor as you fall out of the fight. But you are filled with a bored energy that you don't know how to fill anymore.
You are not alone in this. Yukiko still carries a fan, Yosuke spins non exsistant knives, and Naoto and Kanji's eyes drift twords the blank TV and avert guiltily when they realise what they are doing. Rise goes into Junes and then stops and leaves, remembering what she isn't doing. You are filled with an energy you don't know what to divert into.
You knew you were spending a lot of time and thought on the TV world, but its alarming to realise how much, now that it is no longer a part of it anymore. Its just gone, and you won't admit it, but you are a bit bored without it.
You have more friends then you have ever had in your life. Once, you would have laughed your ass off if anyone had told you, that you would be close friends with an idol. But now, not only are you friends with Rise, you have trippled the number of friendships in your life. You are close with Yosuke, and trust him with your life, rather then just the kind of friends you were at a year ago. And maybe your friendship with Yukiko is diffrent, but you like to think it is a healthier kind of diffrent.
You don't really know quite what you want to do as your next step, but maybe you guys can start a club. Or join one. Something to do with the majority of your afternoons that you can think about instead of daydreaming about beating up shadows when you are bored in class.
It might be hard to find a shared activity. But it will be fun too.
Now that I have some four characters, I wondering if should cycle names depending on birthday? Or keep them as is?
