Thank you both for your responses. To reiterate (because I did a poor job of mentioning it in that post), the only thing relating to the first issue is through the summoning of personas. Weirdly enough, the topic itself largely doesn't exist outside of certain parts of the games and movies, and from memory, none of the main characters go through with it. I recall a minor character in the beginning of the first movie who does (hit by train), however seeing as it happens in the first minute or two, I'd say it acts more as a tone-setter and reference to grief and moving on (as it uses the train for symbolism, which many persona games/shows do), while simultaneously introducing the casual movie-goer to the final stages of Apathy Syndrome.

I'll do my best to give the first summoning (almost always the most unnerving) as much respect and due care as I can. If that turns out fine with everyone, then it shouldn't be a problem later down the line, since it's the most detailed one. Keep in mind there isn't any graphic material or even a gunshot when the Evoker is used, either, so that won't be an issue, I think. But yeah, I'm sorry if it makes anyone uncomfortable when it comes about, but the first summoning of a persona is always the most intense. After that I can write things far more simplistically, once Minako's state of mind has changed. It'll be less "this could kill me" and more "I'll summon my persona", which is how the games and movies handle it as well. Which, I just realised, might be a reference to dealing with grief.

[s]Also I'm not sure if you guys can tell but I don't like Persona 3 [i]that much[/i]. It's only my favourite persona game and one of my favourite pieces of media I've ever consumed, that's all![/s]
