[Vero remembers the train accident. News about it had been everywhere. He hadn't thought much of it at the time - of course it was a tragedy but it was something that, thankfully, hadn't directly affected him. ]

Wonder if something's made them start actin' up... [He's more musing to himself here. This is some heavy stuff. Vero finally looks away from Chance to stare down at his coffee and twist the stirrer inside it to distract himself from the all-too familiar anxiety crawling up his back.]

So it's just been you two? For about a year now? You've really never found anyone else to fight with you until now. .... us? [He would like to know more about that whole business. More about Chance and Lyric. Like, maybe if Chance can explain how he summoned his Persona, he can wrap his mind around why he and Uriel have them as well. It's not like they're particularly good people like Chance and Lyric seem to be.]
