'I promise I'll hold him back if he rips one of the bags open...'

[A nod, but he looks to the shown images.]

'Yeah, that's Jack Frost and Jack The Ripper. It's been a while since I've summoned them, though, so I could be wrong...? But they do look really similar.'

'Don't worry about it, maybe Teddie can help me pick out the candy, if he's not busy doing nothing.'

'Do you ever think about our TV world days? Because I could have sworn there are some Personas I could use that look pretty strikingly similar to the Jack Bros.'

'Nah, I think I need to pick up some halloween candy for trick or treaters and some ramen. . . Are you stuck restocking here, or are you free to accompany me and still look like you're working?'

Oh right, is that all you have for today? Just the new controllers?”

Oh, and if you’re planning to introduce her new games, you’d have to make a list of what genres she’s most likely into.“

'Yeah, she should be on break from school sometime next week. I want to encourage her playing games with her friends, but maybe it'd be good to ease her into games with us?'

Even though farming simulators aren’t my kind of genre, I can see why because of the garden near Dojima-san’s residence.”
