"I couldn't care about politics, but then, last November, the weirdest thing happens" HOW AND WHY DOES THIS FIT

Unless you keep talking to Yoshida at the beef bowl shop.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

im upset by the fact i never made that joke, i was already into Mulaney when i first played P5 and all of these jokes fit so well, im absolutely going to be making them during my current and like fourth or fifth playthrough of the game.

[@stygian6642]

"I never talked to my dad about, but I figured I would tell all of you" I'M CHOKING This is so good, every line surprises me with how well it fits

[@K4RN4GE911]

"Pointing this out to him confuses and upsets him." Morgana in a nutshell. Love him to death, but it's true.

[@PerfectKirby]

As a Morgana defender, I agree lol

[@mistermaxie6487]

"He let us know who he was right away." and "So we all got up individually, and said 'Okay, let's go over there, and destroy the place'." are so damn accurate.

[@grant187]

“I gave you more money than the civil war cost!” It was 150k in both the joke and the game lol

Well, you don’t need to use her services in her social link, just the 100k to start it; you’re thinking of Kawakami requiring 5K most of the time lol
