Characters' P4 shadows!
I could also brainstorm what the associated ~symbolic~ monsters might look like, but that would be effort (maybe someday?). Dramatic monologues, OTOH, are gravy! (Some are... more dramatic than others...)
Osaka: Nah, I'm good... Y'all always end up dealing with it one way or another, right? So why do I gotta be the one to change?
Juri, post MitP: Destiny. Destiny. Destiny. Destiny. Destiny. // I am a shadow... The true self... I know I can count on you. I know you can guide me down a better path. You're such wonderful people... But in the end, I won't have changed. That's my destiny.
Takato, post MitP: [Just a prolonged, wordless, furious, uncontrollable scream.]
anime Al, post finale: If there really is an ebb and a flow... if I have to, I'll stop it. The rest of the world can go to hell. I'm going to bring him back.
anime Ed,![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
witchesreign: Look at me, I'm not tiny or insignificant! Alive or dead, dream or reality - none of that makes a scrap of difference to me! You said it once yourself: I'm the closest thing there is to a god! Equivalent exchange... I can bring him back, and then some! And I can do it on my own. ... So what if those bastards are scared? They should be scared! You don't even know the first thing about what I'm really capable of, do you?! // I am a shadow... The true self... What's the matter, third-string? You think you can hold me back? Think again! The universe plays by MY rules now!
anime Ed, early CoS: None of it's my problem when I don't belong here. And I couldn't belong here. I deserve better than this. Always have.
anime Ed,exsilium: Everything is for him? What a crock. You don't want him to be happy. You want him to suffer! Of course you do! If he was really struggling, if there was some reason he really couldn't survive without you, something he'd depend on you for... there'd be no question that you meant something to him, would there? Just like old times. As if somehow that would make up for every other failure in your life... As if you could ever bring back the dead! ... It's that connection you're after, isn't it? You don't need to know him as a person, just as a little something to make yourself feel better. That's all he is to you. You haven't learned a damn thing. And you're not even guilty about it. Why would you be? After all - you're not his real brother! // I am a shadow... The true self... So, you want to play the hero? I'll show you... I'll show you exactly how much good that's gonna do!
anime Winry: They all leave... However good I am, they'll always leave. I shouldn't even try.
homunculed: Yeah, you figured it out the moment you laid eyes on that other kid. I'm no different. I'm him, and I'm you. You know what that means, right? You're no victim. You're the worst kind of sinner... And now you're all alone.
Rarity: You have wished they weren't around, haven't you? So that there'd be nothing else left to tie you down... So that you could finally become the star you were always meant to be... Because you're getting nowhere like this, my dear!
Yosuke: LIVING IN THE COUNTRY IS PRETTY BORING (and you're always gonna be too much of a shitheel to stop thinking that!)
Kanji: I'M KANJI TATSUMI AND I ENJOY NAKED MEN (maybe?? but more like you figure it's easiest to let people go on thinking that! and whatever else they want!)
