[ Takakage smiles a little more, if only tiredly. ]

It's the least I can do. [ Not to mention it's... good exercise. Especially mental exercise.

At Oz's offer, he nods immediately. ] Ah, that's very kind of you. If I can take a seat, that would be good.

[ When Oz says yes, he would shuffle over to the couch and sit down gratefully. His Persona is dismissed after he can confirm that he won't fall off immediately - Awanagi disappears into a puff of tiny blue butterflies, which then fade away into glitter.

Normally Takakage would not quite feel the absence of his Persona, but this time it's almost as if a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. His hands go to his temples immediately, as he squints in a slight frown. ]

Oh dear. That was certainly an experience.
