SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI: PERSONA 4 KINK MEME
PART THREE
In this scintillating post

When Chie was in the academy, she had vague fantasies of using the skills she learned at the academy to find Yukiko. Go out into the city, maybe, and trace her credit cards, the way people do it in the movies. She hounded Dojima so often that he eventually pulled her aside and told her to stop being stupid, and that Yukiko couldn’t have gone far, anyway. How far could a teenaged girl with no money, no job, no future without the Inn go, anyway?
She went far. Or if at least not far, then she went in deep, deeper than Inaba could trace her, deeper than the police could find her. Chie laid in bed for hours, sometimes, wondering what Yukiko did to throw off her trail. Cash, definitely. A new name, a new haircut, a new face, a new wardrobe. Maybe she already began working. Maybe she was in college, expanding her worldview, bursting out of the cage ( ... )

She’s in Chiba for a “continuing education” seminar, which really means that everyone drifts in and out of sleep, and just barely scrape by the mandatory test at the end of the class. The city’s always puts her on guard. It’s so big, so wide, with a million people pressing in from every direction. Like air pressure, she thinks as the train turns and knocks her into another person. Maybe it’s a sign that Japan’s a little too crowded, because the other person barely even pretends to notice.
She’s on her way to a blind date, courtesy of Ryuzaki. Ryuzaki’s made it his personal mission to find her a boyfriend or a girlfriend, with the zeal of the newly married. (Why can’t everyone be as happy as they are, Ryuzaki asks nobody in particular, but Chie answers the question herself, sourly, in the confines of her brain: Maybe it’s because they can’t. Maybe it’s because they have things like issues and jobs and a disturbing tendency for making out with women with long black hair and ( ... )

What, Ryuzaki says. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. Was she your type?

Chie leaves Chiba without meeting Miyuki again. On the train ride back, she’s nervous and jittery and can’t stop thinking about everything she’s leaving behind. She has nothing in this city, she knows, just the memory of a person who may or may not be her old friend. The city is shrinking back into the distance, and the rice paddies are sprouting out of the ground like a statement: this is where you are, this is who you’ll be. She’s angry: angry that she got drunk, angry that she slept with Miyuki, angry that she never got any answers. It’s only later she realizes she never got an address, never got a phone number, never got the promise of another chance. She could ask Ryuzaki for the number, but doesn’t want to, and knows too well that she can’t.
I'd seen this whole day ( ... )

Chie gets drunk too often in the city, which is a bad thing, because now Ryuzaki knows everything about her sordid love life, and knows all about one of her exes and hangs it over her head until she agrees to let him play matchmaker. He’s just been married, and really, Chie’s pretty sure that she likes his wife a bit better than she likes him, but they’re both newly married and overenthusiastic about it ( ... )

Chie normally doesn’t make a habit out of following strangers home on the subway and having sex with them, but she has to admit that she’s always been kind of stupid when it comes to falling in love, and ending up in a strange woman’s apartment ( ... )

Chie is the last person in Inaba to know Yukiko is back.

i. he came to meet me (where a poison comes to settle)
What is there to say? Yukiko is back. Chie gets roped into the party. She can’t find the words to speak. There are things she wants to say, she knows: important things, important questions.
All she can manage is a memory of falling into a bed and staring, brokenly, at someone she used to know. Chie can’t bring herself to say anything to Yukiko. She can barely look at her in the eye. People are saying how they thought she saw Yukiko returning home sometimes, on summer nights: a woman wearing blue coming into the Inn with furtive, nervous look to her, or a woman speaking with the manager. Chie never saw this person. She can see Yukiko faintly in Miyuki, but she doesn’t remember this feeling of being betrayed, of being deeply and terribly wronged ( ... )
