Persona 3 RELOAD

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I was in a meeting, and I heard someone talk about those Apathy Syndrome guys...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]They say there are more and more of them.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]A guy could be totally healthy, and then bam! He's got Apathy Syndrome.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Personally, I think they're just overworking themselves, but...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Want to know something cool?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]You know this place is called the Paulownia Mall, right? Well, you know how it got that name?[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I do.[e] [uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I don't.[e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Wow, you're not some average student. Kids like you give me hope for the future.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]A paulownia is a type of plant, and part of the Kirijo name comes from the character for "paulownia tree."[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Since this place is under the ownership of the Kirijo Group, that's how it was named. Get it?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I may look like a slacker salaryman, but I know some surprising things.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I'm keeping up the pretense of going to work.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I-I can't let my wife and little girl know that I've been laid off...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I heard the rumor about Mr. Kirijo.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]To tell the truth, Mr. Kirijo owned the company I used to work for, but...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]It's none of my business now.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Those were the good ol' days...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I'd come here with my wife and little girl, do some shopping, and eat before going home...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]That'll probably never happen again...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]As you can see, I'm just a salaryman.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I'm not just skipping work.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Ahh, I love the outdoors.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Breathing the fresh air, walking around on foot... It's healthy.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]You can even get a bite to eat at the café, or the burger place.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I love coming here... even if it means skipping work.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I was skipping work the other day, and I saw this young man...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]He had long hair and no shirt on... Made me do a double take.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]He was like one of those hippies from back in the day... Is that look coming back into style?[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Gosh... Look at all those Apathy Syndrome guys...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]They're skipping school and work, right?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]That's nice... I wish I had Apathy Syndrome too...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Then I could sit here all day long, just like them...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I was talking to someone from the Kirijo Group the other day, and we got to talking about that girl.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]You know, the owner's daughter, Mitsuru-san. I heard she goes to your school.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Did you know that?[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I did.[e] [uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I didn't.[e] [uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I know her.[e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I guess you students know more than me, then.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Well, even if you did know, it's useless knowledge. She's way above us lower classes.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]What!?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I've never known anyone as lucky as you, kid.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I'm so jealous... I'd skip work too often to meet anyone as high-class as that.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Everyone thinks those ghost stories and Apathy Syndrome are so bad, but...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Personally, they make me jealous.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. We working class are just worked to the bone until we wither away...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]If you're going to wither and die anyway, getting Apathy Syndrome sounds like the better option.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Heh, someday you'll have jobs like mine and reach the same conclusion.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I guess I've been laid off... They told me the company is being "restructured"...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Laid off used to mean temporary release, but nowadays, it's a euphemism for permanent release...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I may not look it, but I've been working my ass off for that company...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Everything feels so pointless now... I can't get my thoughts straight...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I wonder how long my money will last...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I'll eventually have to get another job, for my wife and daughter, huh?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]But I can't seem to make the effort... I'm so burned out after what happened...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I saw one of my old coworkers a while ago, and asked how he's holding up after the restructuring.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Apparently, they just filled the manager positions with a bunch of yes-men who weaseled in with their connections.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]It's important to have a supportive workplace, but that's taking it too far.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]You're young. Make sure you keep it real with your friends and build true relationships.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I don't know when it happened, but this town is a mess lately.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Since my life is a mess, too, it feels like I'm not alone anymore.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Hm? My family?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Ugh, I feel like the worst person alive... I'm lying to my wife and my daughter...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I loved my family, but now it's like they're just baggage...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]I did some research on the Internet, and read some books, and I've got everything planned out now.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I wish I could shake the hand of the guy who invented life insurance.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Converting people's death wishes into money...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I haven't completely decided to go through with it, and I don't know if I'll tell anyone when I do.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]But just in case, wish me luck.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I heard about the disaster from someone I know who works at Gekkoukan High.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]Oh yeah?[e] [uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]What disaster?[e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I think it's awful the way those students are falling victim to Apathy Syndrome.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]It's probably because of all the excess studying.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Why would they study so hard...?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I hope they don't have delusions of going to a famous university, and getting a high-paying job...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Wow, I admire your apathy.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]That's the spirit! Whatever happens around you, just don't give a damn about it.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]An attitude like that will come in handy once you enter the workforce.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I sometimes see a girl drawing here.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]She looks a little strange, but it's not like I care.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]She's so mysterious... It's like she lives in a different world.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]She doesn't care what other people say, she's living on her own, not following anyone's orders...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]As a salaryman who follows orders for a living, I'm naturally jealous...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Ouch... It still hurts.[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]Are you all right?[e] [uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1]What happened?[e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Thanks for your concern... You're a nice guy, unlike the kids I saw earlier...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I was a little tipsy yesterday at midnight, and ended up at the gang spot.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I thought kids were too cool to steal from middle-aged men now...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]But they beat me until I could barely talk anymore.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]What kind of society is so vicious to its weaker element? I feel like I've lost the will to live...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I heard something interesting from one of my coworkers.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]It seems there's this strange website on the Internet...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]He was reluctant to give me any details, so I don't really know anything about it.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]All I know is that it has something to do with revenge...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I found that website. The one about revenge, remember?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I immediately thought about getting revenge on my boss, but... I chickened out...[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I closed the tab right away. Now I'm not even sure if I had the right URL...[n][uf 1 1][e]

[uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]Isn't it tough to wake up early every single morning to pack me lunch? Why don't you take a day off for a change?[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I'll be fine without it.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]...That's what I told my wife. I feel a little better now.[n][uf 1 1][e][uf 0 5 65278][uf 2 1][uf 5 21 1 401]I don't have to feel guilty while eating the lunch she made me.[n][uf 1 1][e]
