the first 48 hours givea window to obtain meaningful information from leads before the details of events surrounding the disappearance begin to fade from their memories. the first three days are crucial when the subject is in transit and exposed to significant danger.
that said, i am a detective. i don't know if we will find anything helpful, but my expertise might help at least something.
I don't have a gun, I don't think I can call my Personas, and is Chuuya awake?
If he's not awake, don't wake him up to ask. I know he'd agree to go. It's been weeks. It can wait until morning. We were in the forest at night, after all, and people went disappearing no matter what time it was. It's not exactly like Tartarus.
You said "No Longer Human" stops someone's ability, right? For a Persona, it could be my ability to control them. I used Messiah, Helel, and the rest to destroy a god. I don't want to unleash that on the town. No matter what.
(NO? IT LITERALLY MEANS TO PUT HER TO SLEEP!! FAINTING!!!)
your choice, kotone-chan. i wouldn't dare to tell you what to do with your ability. that said, i would call it nearly impossible. 'no longer human' is more like a balm. it keeps it contained within someone, and the moment i stop touching them, it comes back.
it also makes any ability unable to touch me. therefore, if you should test it, might as well be with someone you can't kill while at it.
I think... I'm also afraid to find out what happens if I can't summon them. It was a really big part of my life, and I can still feel them inside, but if I can't summon them, then... what's the point?
[She's quiet for a few long seconds. He was able to nullify Akechi's Personas? Then that renders the whole debate academic. He can stop a Persona. That... almost makes her feel better.]
there can be some. except, when he lets arahabaki out, he loses everything. consciousness. awareness. all is chaos and and destruction. he'll go until he dies...
... or until i get to him! boom, problem solved. 'no longer human' does do miracles.
[It still doesn't quite make sense to her, considering that her version of Arahabaki wasn't too difficult to talk to. More withdrawn, like most of the Hermit Personas tended to be, but not difficult to control.]
chuuya only does it when it's a mutual agreement, and ultimately, it's his decision, so it happens when we both think there's no other option. it did happen... twice? after i left the mafia? he's walking and screaming, as you can see.
he has used it to protect me sometimes, so, i suppose i can't complain. he's work in other ways.

cw: suicide mention
[It's not a no, but she doesn't want to be the second person in his double-suicide.]

I can feel them, but it feels... different. I can't really explain it. I know they're there, but it's like there's something in the way.
If I summon them and lose control of them because the summoning went wrong...? A lot of bad things could happen.

I know you don't care about dying, but I've seen what happens when someone kills someone else by accident. I don't want to endure that.
no subject
either way.

I'll keep that in mind.

i won't push you any direction.

Have you tried doing something from a whole different planet? A whole different universe?
no subject
i have nullified whatever it is that akechi has. other people here. i'm literally the only one who can pull chuuya back, so, not really.
no subject
Nobody else can counter a gravity power?

... i suppose he hasn't told you about arahabaki?

But I'm guessing it's not the same thing, huh?

Sounds like a lot of work for you.
Has it happened a lot?
