Time was something that was still somewhat of an enigma to Elizabeth. She had some experience with it, but this place and the multiple timelines had her confused. That and somehow deep inside of her she awoke with a fear that it may be a resource that could be wasted and she may suddenly be wasting it here she was looking for some answers.

"I was wondering, as I have met The Sister Complex Kingpin of Steel and he did not remember it. Were I to meet the others I challenged in the TV would that also be the case? Would Captain Ressentiment still be a wage slave and hero by night here? Has the Carnivore who Discarded womanhood discarded it yet? Has the Unconquerable Snow Black even begin to search for her prince? Have the roses of the Bloodcurdling Beefcake Emperor been planted yet? Has the 2000 IQ Killjoy Detective even begun to challenge the army of idiots? I know not which one of them even won the title of manliest of men and would like to ask. I know that we should be from the same time, yet it seems as if we are not."

"Time it seems is my greatest source of confusion here. It moves forward and some charge ahead as if it is a fleeting ghost, yet others simply sit and bide it, content to wait things out. I am not certain how I should look at it, and how it will aid or hurt my own quest. To those who have always lived with the clock chasing them, what is the best way of dealing with it? While Erebus and Chronos were both Titans, one seems more to be a natural order of things, or is moving to strike one down going to meet resistance from the others?"

She shakes her head and looks down a bit, letting out a small breath.

"Also, does this place get into your mind and make you feel in ways you have no experience with?"

She smiled attentively at recognizing Yu's face. She did get the titles correct, and perhaps she would get so see steps in another fool's journey.

"Hello! I DID get the titles correct, excellent."

…seems like it.

[Some of those were way too fitting ~~sorry Yosuke and Kanji~~. His wasn't entirely flattering either, but pretty mild compared to the others.]

You really shouldn't have broadcasted them to all of Luceti. There were other ways to get our attention.

"But I needed to speak to your generation of persona users. The ones that came after me. Not my guest's. One does not ask the universe how to save the universe."

[…he needs to become fluent in Elizabeth-ese.]

What's wrong?

"While nothing is wrong, I just have felt wrong. He has come back and is here, remembering the wall, and having given up hope of freedom."

[…she made him feel so dumb sometimes. The problem was, he didn't know when she was speaking literally or figuratively.]

…what?

"The man I left the velvet room to free is here. But he was not freed, he simply is here as we all are. I fear I am unable to help as I am now, for he has lost hope of ever being anything more than a wall."

[...thanks, Elizabeth. He needed that mental image of a wall with a face and wings.]

It is this world that pulls us here, but time freezes for us in our worlds while we're here. He could still be a... 'wall' in your world.

[...should he say "our" world? It's pretty obvious they're from the same one.]

"Yes, which is why my poor understanding of time is.... Unfortunate. Were the wall to crumble I would be fine, but death would awaken. Yet, part of me longs for that to happen as freedom from the wall was my quest."

[...so someone was acting as a wall against death and she wanted to save that person. Wait...]

This person... did you aid them in the Velvet Room?

"Yes, I did."

...

[Oh. Damn. He didn't understand the whole picture, but he got an idea now. So the previous guest to the Velvet Room... he used himself to keep "death" from the rest of the world. And... she wanted to save him from that? Shouldn't she be happy he was here, then?]

[...but if he ever left Luceti, he would be a wall again. Damn... just what had happened before?]

...I'm sorry. I don't think the answer you're looking for is something someone else can give you.

"That is why I am looking for my own arcana, even here perhaps some exist since my journey is rather random."

Well... I've already made a bond with someone that's not from my world. I'm sure you will find your own people to bond with.

[...might be sooner than you think.]

"I have met a magician, so yes, that would make sense. Though I wonder if all of them will have ears as fluffy as his."

...fluffy ears?

[Oh he's curious.]

"The most adorable ones, yet he got rather huffy at my request to pet them. Perhaps many people have tried to make that request, or perhaps I simply need to gather some quest rewards."

[...he can't believe he needs to tell this to a Velvet Room attendant, but...]

Maybe you should get to know him first; form a bond. Maybe if you understand him better...

Elizabeth is very sorry, cute ears trump order and logic, especially if they are fuzzy and or fluffy. Also he's a magician. Yu, THINK about magicians you know, do they warrant respect?

"We have spoken several times. I believe he may be the magician, but I am still learning."

[Hey hey, Yosuke totally deserves respect when he isn't being an ass! Which is... erm... he'll get back to you on that.]

I see... well, sometimes it's best to go slow.

"Or perhaps I simply need more stealth!"

She nods cheerfully.

[...oh boy.]

...maybe I can help you when it comes to starting social links.

[More like, maybe it would be safer.]

"They do not just happen? Hrm. I thought it was just a thing that happened."

Sometimes, but there are others that you need to work for.

[And it sounds like this Magician is one of them.]

"Hrm, I wonder how one does that then."

She looks to be in very deep thought.
