[letter to: anyone: 9/17/34]
[The letter is typewritten. Be thankful, because his handwriting is not legible in the slightest and the only way he can read it is by remembering when he wrote it, s-sob. There are marks where he's gone back over his typos in excitement.]
( Hello! Is anyone out there? )
( Hello! Is anyone out there? )
When he finished, he fished some old homework from his math folder and wrote on the back as scrap paper]
Yo,
There are a lot of people over here in the future, but idk how many of them have persona. And only 6, +/- a few, who go to this school know about the mailbox. Just think, out of the billions of people in the world, it was us who ended up with these things, and at this school... That's like, not even a 1% chance.
Anyway, my name's Anthony Welsh and I'm the lucky guy that just happened to snatch up your letter today. Nice to meetcha 6:
Yeah I dunno what the point of these persona are, but I think they're pretty fun to mess with. Sometimes I talk to Lemme in the evening; it's really weird though, because he doesn't speak a language I really know... Yet I understand. Fuck, maybe we were given persona just to mess with our psyche (and social life), because I don't know anyplace where talking to yourself like this is normal.
And yet, I don't mind. Heh.
Oh man, I think I just kinda went of tangent there. Sorry for the tl;dr, bro. Talk to ya later?

I have to admit, I was half-expecting not getting a reply. There's just no use doubting what happens right in front of you, sometimes.
There are an awful lot of coincidences tying things together! The others were supposedly out on a routine patrol when they found me, and that same night we found another who could use Persona, Lev, at that Nyx's lounge place. I imagine he'll start writing you kids in the future soon enough. Oh, I wonder if the bar's still around in your time? It's a very interesting place with lots of civilized (and generous) demons. You might like it! [Here he jots down the address, or rather a street name and vague directions. It resembles hieroglyphics more than english.]
No need to apologize! I'm not one for tiresome formalities either, so by all means, tangent away. It's all very interesting to me. So this mental chit-chat is relatively normal? Good to know! I hadn't had the chance to ask one of the others yet, thought they'd lock me up in an instant. They'll have to if Nance continues with her interrogations on ethics or law or other things that I have a difficult time caring about when I'm running on four hours of sleep. She's a very pushy bird. I do get a feeling of urgency, or something like it when we speak. I'm sure that whatever Lemme tells you must be important as well, somehow! Either way, I suppose we can set our own standard for normalcy from now on, there being so few of us. You seem friendly enough, I can't imagine you'll let your social life suffer too much! Good luck with things regardless.
I hope to hear from you again soon!

Whoa sweet, a lounge? Thanks for the address man, I'll show it to the others and we'll check it out. I wonder if we'll find some newbies there -- idk if dudes exist here with funky names like Lev though.
Heh, talk away to your persona, I say. Just not too loud, and not around your roomies. I've had a few incidents with mine... Kinda awkward. I don't realize I'm talking out loud until it's too late. Whatever though, because I don't think my social life will be suffering at all any time soon, cuz I'm pretty sure everyone else with a persona around here talk to theirs too -- they blog about it enough anyway.
Good luck with your ace attorney persona... I'd rather take a bullet to the head than listen to ethics and law.
