Amethyst

You find yourself in a dark space. The pale not-a-Persona is sitting cross-legged on a . . . ledge? a little above head-height, lit with what appears to be their own light, because you sure can't make out anything that it's actually sitting on.

Pinned on the ground in front of you is a stuffed manikin, white and squishy and doll-jointed, with a blank face and obvious stitching.. There are metal pins stuck through it, jamming it against the ground, in five places—three in the head, one in the chest, and one in the hand. A little loop of string is tied to each, with room for a label.

"The heart, the mind, the mouth, the eyes, and the limbs. I'll give you the labels, and you tell me what goes where, and how to put a person together the right way."

We could try? I'm not sure what it'd do.

Hopefully nothing?

Well, there's only way to find out, isn't there?

Right.

[Going over to the... mannequin thing and trying to pull out one of the pins.]

[they don't budge]

[the gamerunner seems fairly unbothered, just watching]

[well that sure was a failure]

What now?

[She shrugs straightening up.]

I guess work on the cards. Unless our host will remove them for us?

[She glances over at the gamerunner.]

[n-nodding]

People aren't really made up of pins and cards and the color of sky at dust.

Aren't they?

People are made up of all sorts of things, nyaa. Thoughts, energy! Love for other people and helping people, too~

[nods again] People are thoughts and emotions, bones and blood, not pins and cards.

People are made of feelings and thoughts and desires.
