[Yoosung swallows his noodles rather sharply in shock at hearing someone like Mitarai say "what the hell" in a situation like this. Kurusu is in serious trouble...!! But after coughing a little, he's just going to think about this for a moment with some dissonance in his expression. Because it's true that he knows a fair bit about what Mishima sees in him. But that had nothing to do with being Kurusu's comrade in the entrance exam. Is he looking for the history, or Yoosung's assessment of his character? Well, it probably wouldn't be appropriate to tell him all of their history anyway. It's a sensitive topic. But if he's being asked about Mishima and Kurusu, he's just naturally inclined to talk more about Mishima, so he's gonna focus on the history after all....]

Umm. Well... Kurusu is basically his hero. He's passionate about causing social change with the Phantom Thieves, and they gave Yuuki something to focus himself around - that 'strategic image' stuff. Having that helped him believe in himself more too, and so did having him and Sakamoto as friends... to be honest, any time he talks about home, it comes off like they were the center of his life. It's all about them or the PhanSite. Though... the site was most of what they'd talk about anyway... it was the first thing he talked about to me, too.

[That feels like an eternity ago. He'd been so interested in using it... now everything is about the Guild instead. It seems like it would be kind of lonely if they went back to their homes and respective causes, separate. They're both much stronger movements, and he doesn't want to choose between them... at least he already talked to Kurusu about the Thieves appearing as guests.]

I guess the Phantom Thieves are mostly what I talked to Kurusu about too. I can't help it... I'm really interested in a good cause.
