CR chart: dropped CR

[leftbehindagain]

SOCIAL LINKS

Yua Narukami EMPRESS (dropped) Their connection was tenuous at first, but it got a jolt thanks to Melasurei – you can’t spend a month seeing someone as your stand-in sister for the last several centuries and not come away still caring about them. They don’t agree on everything, and he’s Concerned about her plan to get rid of her mark from ROSE, but he’s glad she’s opening up about her problems some more rather than letting them consume her again. Went missing sometime after Naoto’s dungeon (and he hopes she went home, this time).

Sansa Stark EMPRESS (dropped) Naoki and Sansa have talked on and off since his very first jaunt, though after Rome brought her into Satonaka’s circle of friends (not to mention the whole bit where his overlay agreed to marry hers if it proved necessary), he suspects they’re going to see a bit more of each other. Her world doesn’t seem to be one that lends itself to relaxing teenage years; somehow it wasn’t too much of a surprise when she said she is actually married. Disappeared after the jaunt to January.

Ryotaro Dojima HIEROPHANT (dropped) Well, if one of Inaba’s finest has to be here, at least they’ve got the one that’s competent in every universe. And then there’s the wrinkle where Dojima-san has a Persona to call his own, but that makes explaining everything a little easier. At least he doesn’t have to dodge the end of the case anymore, which will hopefully make helping the poor guy manage his grief less difficult. Disappeared sometime between the end of the ninja jaunt and the end of Rome.

Levi CHARIOT (dropped) It’s amazing how quickly they’ve clicked (but then, they were helping mind Naoto’s rebellion on the Grid, and then Levi was working in Yomi). Naoki doesn’t know much about Levi’s world yet, but they have some common ground for all Levi claims he doesn’t understand magic. Went missing sometime after Naoto’s dungeon.

Leonardo da Vinci FORTUNE (reversed/dropped) Leonardo-sensei’s hospitality is a point in his favor, as is how much Kanji likes him, and at one point they might have been on the way to a more solid friendship… and then Melasurei happened. Naoki’s one of a handful of people who knows Leo used the Name at the end of the jaunt, and he really doesn’t like that choice (least bad option in the moment, sure, but it was a terrible long-term plan – and besides, it was a nuclear-equivalent device used in a civilian population and Naoki’s a Japanese teenager). Things between them have been pretty well left a goddamned mess, as Leo disappeared after the jaunt to January. (Not before they accomplished at least some work toward common goals in Helena and Lupa’s dungeons, but that wasn’t enough to ease the awkwardness alone.)

Byerly Vorrutyer STRENGTH (dropped) Naoki got to know Byerly at first as a useless layabout who hung around Yomi a lot. Surprisingly, now that By’s had a chance to investigate, he’s proven to be far from useless. (Sure, he messed up pretty epically, but there’s only so many ways you can learn that not all undercover work can be done like you’re in space from the future.) He’s acquitted himself a lot better on a jaunt where he had access to more information, and he said he enjoys working with Naoki, which is always a plus. Disappeared after the Roman jaunt.

Tohru Adachi TOWER (dropped) Now this is a surprise. The face of the bastard who murdered Naoki’s sister – except this Adachi-san (honorific pointedly restored) was his world’s Wild Card, and while he’s a bit of a dip he’s not that bad. Naoki went into a dungeon to get him out, which just goes to show how much this Adachi’s earned his trust (rather than the punch to the face he very nearly got when they first met). Went missing sometime after Naoto’s dungeon.

Elphaba Thropp MOON (dropped) Someone else Naoki first met while infiltrating during Questing Country – in fact, Elphaba and Zed are the only people who met Gorgon!Saki without the full context of his actual sister coming up immediately afterward. Naoki was quite surprised to learn she’s actually green, but they have much bigger things to worry about than her skin tone. Disappeared after the space jaunt, returned after Newport, then disappeared again sometime after the World Series business.

River Tam MOON (dropped) River and Naoki only talked once as themselves (though while they were both infiltrating in space, she gave him some essential advice to surviving the jaunt with his sanity intact). They see the world very, very differently, but that’s not really a bad thing. Disappeared during or after Newport.
