He drags you to a movie to start out! Junpei's frustrated at the movie having a complex villain, saying it's not fun to beat up someone who isn't just a mustache twirler.
Taking you to the burger joint, he jokes that people are gonna get the "wrong idea". He's surprised that you aren't openly chatting about boys. "Actually, I know you probably have your hands full with other stuff. Me too..."
Rank 3
'Guys can't come to cafes with each other' huh. Even so, he actually seems to know a bit about coffee and can recognize good taste. If you order hot chocolate, he calls it a girly drink but seems happy? Probably just feeling like he's getting to know you - he would have also liked it if you said you got a coffee.
He offers to be your wingman if you're looking for guys, LMAO. He jokes about you 'stealing' Akihiko from all his fawning fangirls, saying like it'd be out of a manga. You could say 'don't talk about him like that' for +2 but joking that you'll give it a try he'll back you up. Likely wants to feel reliable and a good friend!
Rank 4
On the way to have ramen after school, you both encounter a drunk out in public wanting to start shit. Junpei opens up about his trauma involving alcoholics. Despite him saying that he's jealous of your parents being dead, he is genuinely apologetic if you push back.
Rank 5
Junpei treats us to ramen, worried about us and grateful that our demeanor is still pretty chipper. Apparently there are photos of us in our gym clothes floating around, centered on us in particular - Junpei is worried for you and your safety in particular.
RANK 6
Kenji appears! Junpei harangues him about the sketchy photos in case it's him. We get dragged to go look at the photography club, see if they have any leads or answers. Keisuke is a cutie a sweetie pie a sweetheart and very helpful thank you, doll Junpei's focused on this because he doesn't want this all to ruin our social life - it feeds into his general nature being protective of women, even if he's kind of a mess about it, probably a LOT to do with how his parents interacted I bet.
RANK 7
Chatting over ramen, Junpei muses uncertainly about what he'll be doing in ten years. You can reassure him - he'll be great. He asks if there's something only he can do - it's best if you don't bring up his Persona, naturally, because he's asking about the future.
RANK 8
Helping a bro out in the library with his studies... rip bozo. At least today, he actually tried hard thanks to getting encouragement. He takes a moment to genuinely praise you, after having been so harsh before. Notices that you're always giving it your all, in every way you can. Though there's an interruption of catching the guy peeking with the camera, which has Junpei insist that you be careful (especially if you're like I'M GONNA FIGHT THAT GUY--)
RANK 9
We head to the shrine. He's got a bruise under his eye... he gets flustered if you ask "who did it" like you're gonna get in a fight for your bestie (correct). "Seeing someone way smaller than me put their all into something... it made me feel ashamed of myself" - basically he realized he needed to actually try in his life. He'd wanted to chase down who was taking pictures because he wanted you, a reliable and independent person, to trust him and give him self worth. He realizes now that that was silly, that helping people is something friends do regardless.
RANK 10
He takes you out for ramen to give you the little piggy keychain he used to use for his house keys. He's giving them to you because he's scared of seeing his dad and no longer running from that... and he trusts you to back him up. And he reminds you that he's there for you... not just out of a self-serving sense of trying to gain self worth from doing so, but because he cares about you.
Hangouts!
1)'gurl how did you eat that much??' but he is absolutely down with how stubborn you can be. Basically, WHO CARES what people think?
2) You go to the arcade! He gets STOKED if you pick the fighting games, he lets you pick the characters to use.
3) Beef bowl time! He apologizes about bringing up parents and parental trauma. He very, very much doesn't want you to worry about it.
4) Karaoke!! He says it's a good way to vent off feelings, even joking that they should go shout at the ocean, lmao.
