[The inside of the tent is spacious, but spare. In the center of the hard-packed dirt floor, as promised, there is a heavy oaken trapdoor with an iron ring set into it.

Apart from that, there is nothing.]

We didn't. We got what we asked for, and he was probably planning on putting effects on us no matter what we did. At least we got something from it.

Re: DISCUSS

No, we didn't.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

We did. We got the persona's "truth". Pretty sure we're the only ones that got that.

[Because he's obviously a liar who would lie to us any other way.]

Re: DISCUSS

[banded]

If that's the truth. It could be another lie to mess with us.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

The truth as he sees it, at least. Doesn't mean it's true, but it's probably true to him.

Re: DISCUSS

[banded]

We never get the truth. It's better to stop trying.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

[Are you trying to be this stupid, or what?]

Of course we can't get right at the truth, but it's definitely not going to be found if you just give up!

Re: DISCUSS

[banded]

I always try.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

Then you should know not to give up! The second you stop trying is the second all of that work you've already done is useless!

Re: DISCUSS

[banded]

Trying hasn't helped anyone else before.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

It's helped a lot of people!

Re: DISCUSS

[banded]

Me trying hasn't.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

This isn't about you, this is about the Persona. If we're going to make the Persona see something, we need to be able to see what it sees too.

I—yeah.

Yeah.
