It was always quiet in the city of Saeng Seong in the wee hours of the morning. And by 'wee hours' I mean about three am. Sometimes it could be a little unnerving for those who cannot sleep and have too many questions on their mind. One of them was a certain Wild Card who was just confused on what to do in this world. He had a job, talked and spent time with friends, kept up the physical contact, and overall did everything like the city was his home. Was it bad to think like that? Perhaps being one of the first visitors had started to take a toll on him and he didn't realize it yet. When was he one to let a mystery go and join the masses in staying peaceful and not trying to find a way home?
When did he stop looking for the truth?
He quietly left his apartment and the building and called upon Izanagi where he thought it would be a good spot to do it. The towering persona stared down at him before getting on one knee, letting Yu climb on his back. Maybe a ride around the safe areas in the city would help clear his mind...
And possibly not scare off anyone who was up at this time of night.
A "little unnerving" didn't even begin to cover it for another person who found himself unable to sleep, wandering the city streets as he sorted out his thoughts. To be honest, part of him still wondered if this was only one of the Admin's tricks - it wouldn't be the first time he found an illusion to be just as "real" as reality, nor would it likely be the last.
The collar was still around his neck after all, only hidden by his now-tattered shirt collar.
Yet that didn't seem right, the longer he thought on it. Even though the "waking up in a bed with a note on the table next to it" cliche was getting old. At least it wasn't white or clinical. The main point was there were no "glitches" in said glamour, which there would have been one at this point--
...Was that the familiar glow of yellow eyes he saw in the distance?
The glow was only seen for a split second before it vanished into the darkness, replaced with something familiar leap over and sail into the air. Izanagi's coat tails flapped in the wind followed by the glimpse of Yu on his back. The human turned around to see if he had accidentally hit anyone because even he had to admit that his persona's footwear was not the best thing to be hit by while flying. But what he saw made him blink twice.
Was that...?
Just as he was thinking to stop, Izanagi halted and touched ground for his human to get off. Did he just see himself walking around? And did he end up getting hit by Izanagi as we went by? Yu walked over quickly and took a closer look at the young man. And the first thing he could think was-
'Damn, he looks like hell.'
Not such a nice thing to say to a face twin but it was the truth.
It was moments like this that he was very glad he'd gotten used to weaving and dodging attacks when his powers were...unavailable. Especially when the glow disappeared and he could see that coat he was so used to seeing. Though who would be-? Ah, right. The parallel times that Margaret mentioned almost two or three years ago.
It almost hurt to think it had been that long.
Yet he dusted himself off, and still blinked when he saw...himself? (At least he wasn't a she this time.)
"There've been worse things to dodge." Like surgical equipment, but he didn't prefer to talk about it...
Something Yu here didn't learn from home but in Saeng Seong itself with some people showing up in twos but from parallel worlds such as Minako and Minato: he at first believed them to be siblings until Shinjiro pointed out that they were each other from other times. Then there was Naoto and how surprised she was when he introduced himself, knowing him to be Souji Seta instead. That's how he learned and that was what he was wondering now.
Besides, his female self would have great boobs ok?
"Sorry about that, never managed to have anyone get hurt when I go out like this." he admitted as he hopped off Izanagi and called him back to the sea of his soul.
"This is going to sound weird but...is your name Souji Seta or Yu Narukami?"
"You still have the track record," he informed the other, a bit of a wry smirk attempting to pull at he corner of his lips. Though the moment he's asked his name, he wondered what brought it on. After all there were plenty of other names they could have had, if his hunch was right.
He thought as the fourth wall wept.
"Narukami," Yu replied, eyebrow raised even if his tone didn't reflect it.
Let's do this: Animus Bowlcut Meets Rekindle Bowlcut?

Blame the kohai, she was curious and confused at that time.
"Forgive me for being blunt but...you look like hell." The other finally said. "Questioning everything about this place too or wrong thought?"
Sorry Yu, other self can be kind of a smartass. Don't worry, Tony Stark thinks the same.
