*Hyun-ae's Help Desk (IC Inbox)

<sub>[Integrated into the interface of the COMP is *Hyun-ae's contact button: simply pressing it immediately deploys the COMP glasses and causes her to appear before you, image initially fluttering in and out of existence for a bit before she can properly display. The whole process is soundless: a somewhat generic greeting automatically appears in a text box beside her.

If you choose to actually converse with *Hyun-ae rather than just ask her to pass a message to someone else, this is the place to post!]</sub>

It is somewhat redundant in the face of many visitors' power, but - actually, that reminds me of something you brought up yourself. You've been unable to progress in power as you normally would, correct...?

If that's a persistent fact among other Visitors, too, then I would wonder if the Persona is kind of a funnel for where power would normally go... it makes sense there'd be some kind of trade-off.

[aurathread]

That's right.

[Hm...]

Like a different place for experience points to go. That... makes sense. Though... it's really annoying, since I can't use it.

[terminalemulation]

Give it time, I assure you. Hinoto-ri has a deceptive atmosphere, so bad situations are bound to come up... and the rate of Visitors who have sooner or later awakened is nearing one hundred percent.

[aurathread]

If what you say is true about how it's awakened, I'm not exactly looking forward to it.

[terminalemulation]

...I'm sorry. It really can't be helped. All I can promise is that because of your latent Persona and the powers you already possess, I don't doubt your chances of survival.

[aurathread]

... It's not a matter of physical survival anymore.

But then it's gone.]</sub>

In that case... the power definitely isn't worth it. Your personal wellbeing comes first, especially since you can already competently defend yourself.

If there is a situation you come across that you think may force those circumstances, immediately or at any future date, then please give notice to anyone you think can help avert it.

I have to take care of that kind of stuff myself. The people I trust aren't here with me.
