Hikari looked around the Shibuya Scramble, where Seiji had said to enter the Metarealm from. 

There did not seem to be any sign of Seiji, so should she just enter the Metarealm on her own, Hikari wondered? She remembered Seiji mentioning that there would be other people he had recruited, though he didn't go into details about them.

She had just met Seiji yesterday, so she was a 'last-minute addition', so to speak, before whatever it was he had planned for today in the Metarealm. 

Had they known each other? What sort of dynamic do they have? Those were the thoughts running through Hikari's mind before she shook her head. After awakening her Persona, she had decided not to worry so much about whether she fit in to the point that she was conforming to whatever would please the group.

Still, old habits were hard to get rid of, she supposed. Take, for example, her arrival. She did not know if there were others here, but she went to Shibuya Scramble as fast as she could, straight from school, still in her uniform. An 'afternoon' encompassed a huge window of time, so technically there was no need for her to be in such a hurry, but due to the habit she had built up to please people by 'making sure people never wait for her', she just felt anxious if she wasn't in the meeting place early. Though arriving early was probably one habit she should keep. It was just proper behaviour in a professional setting, so it was a habit that would serve her well once she started working.

She used to arrive thirty minutes early, but then she realised that only made people uncomfortable instead, so she eventually found the 'sweet spot' of arriving ten minutes early. Though, in this case, since there was never a specified time, she couldn't really be 'ten minutes early' in any case.

She took out her phone, about to give up finding Seiji or a member of his team and just enter the Metarealm, when she spotted a man seemingly a few years older than her, about college age, sipping a coffee of Starbucks with the word 'Seiji' and a familiar crown logo.

The man was not Seiji, but the words on the cup indicated that he seemed to be here for the same purpose as she was. It was too much of a coincidence otherwise.

Hikari pocketed her phone, deciding to talk to the man before entering the Metarealm. She entered the establishment before approaching the man.

"Pardon me, I'm sorry to bother you, but may I ask if you are acquainted with Seiji Minamoto?"
