[Oh, shit. Yosuke looks a little red, as he tries to wrap his mind around Yu's words.]

The future. . .. No hoverboards or flying cars? That's pretty lame.

[A joke, to try to ease an incredibly tense mood. Squeezing Yu's hand.]

. . . Right, I think I am too. I've kinda..been feeling the same way about myself lately. I've been in Junes and Inaba so long, It's already making me forget myself and my age.

[To try to make Yu feel better, Yosuke gently reaches for his hand, to hold it as they walk.]

. . .

[Yosuke laughs. It's not genuine. It's a nervous, creeped out kind of laugh.]

Haha...okay. Fair enough.

[Maybe sleepwalking? Ugh, it's been so long since they've had a "mystery" or mystery-esque thing to do. Wracking the brain is such a rusty act now.]

Ugh... whatever, man. Sure.

[Raking a hand through his hair, Yosuke starts to follow Yu.]

...What are you not wanting to pass by? [Yosuke's mind went crazy at the possibilities...]

Nooooooo way. You take your bed and I'll take the couch. There is no way I'm letting you sleep on the couch.

Hey, don't feel so embarrassed! I'm flattered.

[A laugh, though it's laced with unease.]

But it's a good thing you did!

. . . Did you keep everything? Or is this the mysterious will of the universe...?

[The brunet asks, head tilting. He'd be endeared if it was the first option.]

We should probably find a place to see, out of public eye to make sure we're protected. If we can't use our Personas to protect ourselves...

[He trails off, knowing Yu knows the next part of his sentence.]

I don't wanna hurt anyone, but if they start something, we might have to.

Are we dealing with hostile....people? Shadows? Do our Personas work?

[Slowly speaking, as if to not overwhelm Narukami.]

[Part of him screams "THANK FUCKING GOD" at first. Then he realizes that would mean EVERYONE'S gone. Dead? Lost to the void? The fog? He takes a second to breathe.]

Allllright. I'll unpack that later. What else?

We're really worried about you back home, you know! D'ya wanna talk about it?

[Hasn't even had the thought about where or what's going on on HIS end, more concerned with Yu.]

If we're...stuck here, I'd like to know in advanced!

(( I'M FUCKING WHEEZING IMD YEIANGA D9UGI32 /pos

Holy SHIT, partner! [Immediately moving close to make sure his best friend is okay.]

You look like a train hit you and then bullet train-ran you over in reverse. . . what the hell happened!?
