Yeah, okay. He seems the problem there.]
it's not hard imagining something like that.
maybe they're just so bad they become like that on their own. and if it helps, it's not just humans that are imperfect. anyone can suck from any species.
but that's when you and your team come in and fight those shadows with your personas? defeat those distorted desires?
no subject
we do more than just defeat them. we STEAL them, which in turn forces the person to have a change of heart.
no subject
what??
okay you steal them from the other reality and put them in your back pocket? and then the person that was connected with the distorted desire suddenly becomes good? realize that they've been a huge asshole and repent for the rest of their life.
no subject
yep.
though most treasures-- oh, that's what we call those distorted desires, by the way-- are too big to fit in our pockets.

no subject
once we stole a crown, which turned into an olympic gold medal in the real world. we sold it for 30000 yen
no subject
you sold some guy's olympic gold medal?? damn akira. cold. guessing he deserved it though.
okay i don't think i really understand everything, but i think i got the most important bits. the phantom thieves of heart fight shadows and distorted desires to help people. what happens if those distorted desires remain too long? the metaverse becomes unstable? or just the person in reality just continues to do horrible shit?
no subject
[it wasn't even his real gold medal, just one created by the cognitive world. . .]
and it's the last one. they'll just keep doing horrible things and hurting a lot of people. there's no actual danger to the metaverse in letting their desires continue to exist/
[. . .]
. . . and even then. . . stealing hearts and forcing wrongdoers to confess. . . that's just a bandaid for a much bigger problem.
no subject
but what's the bigger problem?
no subject
[that's an impossible task. the Phantom Thieves had done what they could, but until society changes as a whole for the better. . . there is only so much they can accomplish]
no subject
hard to eliminate assholery entirely, but if there something that needs to be changed, then you have to continue working for it.
no subject
that's a much bigger project than just stealing the hearts of one or two criminals. one better fought in the real world, and not the metaverse.
but. . . i'm glad you understand.
[that the only way to fix the broken world is to revolutionize society itself]
no subject
have to be visible for this sort of thing.
[Something that he'll have to confront at some point, he's sure. He and the others are still in training, but they can't remain hidden, right? Not if they want the world to trust mutants once more.]
no subject
[and if he is being honest about his limitations, there isn't much he can do as nothing more than a third-year high school student]
[. . .]
[idly]
i think. . . when i eventually graduate high school, i'm going to try to work in politics.
no subject
going to become the president? [oh wait.] prime minister?
no subject
prime minister. and absolutely not.
politics isn't just about being the guy in office, you know? i don't know if i'd want to go that far.
[no. . . he just enjoyed the work he did with Yoshida; that's all. taking a more background role in effecting change from a real, concrete level. . . that feels more right to him]
no subject
but i think i get it. [No he doesn't--] spreading certain issues around. getting people energized.
mmm. i think you can easily do that.
no subject
. . . thanks.
that actually means a lot to me.
no subject
politics are a pain, but i'd vote for you if i could. uh. or whatever.
[He just has his back.....]
