naoto reply

At Yosuke's prompting, Naoto started up the stairs while she answered his questions. She was only made more embarrassed by his inquiry as to the gender of the one housing her. Not so much so because she was ashamed to live alone with a boy, but because she knew how Yosuke would react to hearing that news, and he'd probably assume there was more going on than there truly was. It wasn't the worst thing in the world to have to explain, but she really preferred not to. Nonetheless she couldn't just leave Yosuke hanging. "A boy about our age. His name is Makoto, and he happens to be from our world as well, several years before any of us discovered the Midnight Channel." Some part of her still wondered if he knew anything of personas and shadows, but if he didn't, it was probably better to leave him in the dark. Not only for his own good, but because her love of science fiction novels made her wary of toying with timelines.
