If she stayed, she'd be able to keep reminding him that yes, actually, he is amazing. Sometimes, she wonders whether he's normalized all this for himself so much that he doesn't see how special he is.Īnd she'll be home soon, if everything goes the way they're planning. While she recognizes that he has other reasons to admire Yu, and by extension Izanagi, a part of her wishes that he had a less biased view of his own abilities. Some of them-Arsene in particular-are even slightly more powerful than Izanagi. "You have some amazing Persona of your own," Lavenza reminds them.
He's quiet for a moment, then says, "He's amazing." "I'm not really sure you could fuse Izanagi if you wanted to," she tells him. It would probably need to be an extremely out of the ordinary situation before he'd even consider fusing someone else's true Persona. Given the consistently high respect Akira has always shown for a person's true Persona, this doesn't surprise her. "That's Yu's, and he's trusting me, and I'm not going to do anything to break that trust." "I'm definitely not using him for any," Akira says. "We'll have to be careful with fusions around Izanagi," Lavenza says. Apart from the occasional murmured word or two, they don't need to talk much to get the fusions done, and so Akira uses the time to wrap up the story of what had just happened with Yu. They stand close, facing each other and holding hands, to help with the focus. (She also has half a theory that no one has ever told him how difficult this should be, and that maybe they wouldn't be able to do this so well if anyone had) Lavenza has half a theory that his time spent fractured in the sea of souls had left him uniquely suited for doing fusions outside the Velvet Room) (Really, they're lucky that it works as well as it does. It's not as good as Lavenza knows it would have been in the Velvet Room, because they don't have any kind of registry for Persona he's used in the past, and it's a real struggle to do anything with the more powerful Persona, but it's good enough.
Now, after months of practice, it feels a lot more natural.
When they'd first tried to do this, back in Inaba over the summer, it had taken effort and concentration, and a real kind of intentionality to fuse any two Persona together. They work as he explains, both of them half focused on his story and half on the fusions that they'd come here to do. "It surprised me," Akira admits, and then he launches into his story. "What was that about?" Lavenza asks, when Yu has gone, and it's just the two of them on the top floor of Mementos.
