[Which isn't saying that someone who ISN'T an adult couldn't do the same thing, but Haru has the most experience with adults who do that.]
I believe that doing things that are mutually agreed on is the way to go about things. Though... that leaves a lot of room for debating on something that everyone can agree on. Doesn't it?
Then that's the worst time to try and do something? I mean, no matter what you choose, half of the people are going to hate it, right? Just because it's half of a group instead of one person doesn't make it any less shitty.
[ she's weirdly matter-of-fact about it all. in fact, when haru apologizes, she laughs and shakes her head. ]
No, don't worry! I don't mind at all. Honestly, I'm just sorry if I say something dumb? People get angry at me for that kind of thing a lot. Haha.
People say that a lot too. [ but she's smiling a bit, behind her hand. ] I believe you, though. You just seem... nice? Patient, I guess.
[ it's only partially a lie. haru definitely seems like that to her. but venus doesn't mention the other vibe she's getting - like there's something haru would get angry over, and like there'd be no going back if she found it.
so she just doesn't look, and she doesn't ask about it. problem solved, right? ]
I like to think I've learned more than my fair share of patience in life. I try my best to remain calm. Being hot-headed doesn't get anyone anywhere.
[Though, Venus wouldn't be wrong about her feeling. Haru is one of those girls that it takes a lot to piss her off, but when you do... there's no holding back.
Problem solved if Venus never makes her angry. Not that Haru thinks she will!]
I guess not? Sometimes being calm doesn't really help either, though. But it's better than just being... angry all the time, at least. You know?
[ she's definitely working on that part, haru. don't you worry about that. ]
...I hope it's not weird to say, but- it makes sense you're working with the plants. [ it comes out blunt, and a bit off-kilter, just like half the things she tries to say. but she's not entirely ashamed of it. ] It just sort of makes sense for you? Like- you remind me of rain, I guess.
[ peaceful, and nourishing, with a certain beauty to it. and a bit of melancholy, too. ]
[She nods, she knows. Maybe a calm demeanor isn't helpful in all situations. But most, right? Most require a head not run by an immediate and emotional response.]
It's not weird. Rain is the most important to plant growth in some cases. They depend on it. [And some people? They depend on her. Even if she has a touch of melancholy, she would never let it get in the way of her friends.]
I wonder what Venus-san reminds me of... something warm, I think.
Maybe one of the stars. [ she says it casually enough, quickly enough, that she must have thought about it before. (or been told it by neptune or jupiter. definitely more along those lines.) ] Did you know that's one of the names for the devil? Lucifer. The morning star.
[ whether lucifer's a devil or all devils, she doesn't really know. maybe it doesn't matter. for now, it's something she's comfortable with. ]
[She can agree with her. A little more than she realizes. One has to really abandon everything to be a Persona user too, she thinks. Abandon you morals, let out your rebellious side.]
Mm, it is! Would you like to go see it, Venus-san?
[ she crosses her arms, gently grabbing her elbows and waiting for haru to take the lead. she's eager to see haru's garden, after all - even if she doesn't know what sort of help she could really offer for it.
Not too much is fully grown yet. So, please excuse that.
[Sunlight would be nice, surely. The plants could use something real and not artificial.] I can't wait until the vegetables are ready. I want some fresh food. I was thinking with one of my other friends that we could make a vegetable soup for everyone once we have some good variety.
Oh, yeah. I kind of figured? I mean, it's only been a few weeks, right? Things take a lot longer than that to grow.
[ she's never really been huge on vegetables. but... after this long with the replicators, she'll freely admit she feels the same way. ] Honestly, that sounds really good? I never really liked vegetables back home, but I guess you crave them after long enough.
There are always things that bloom and grow faster than others, but yes, it has only been a couple of weeks. Some failed attempts, and a system malfunction later before I think I am having some real success.
[She nods.] Maybe, I think, that is our bodies craving more than artificial processed "food".
I don't really know if it's the processed part that's the problem? I mean, you could probably just replicate vegetables in the cafeteria, right? I just. Haven't really done that.
I feel like there is a possibility that a full vegetable could be replicated. But I feel that somehow growing them is a safer option. But maybe I just say that because I am unsure about the replicators as a whole.

Yeah. Maybe that's for the best, though? If a bunch of people disagree on something, maybe it's not as good of an idea as people think, you know?
