This is a different approach for FeMC. What if she was the continuation and sequel to the Answer? My original interpretation of FeMC's own storyline.

"Would you like to take a seat beside me, Yukari-san?"

Her ears quirk at the sound of her name as she turns, spotting the mechanical woman looking up at her expectantly. Yukari remembers how surprised she was; that Aigis chose to stay behind rather than returning to the labs.

Yukari shakes her head, a small smile enveloping her lips as she tightens her hold on a steel bar; steadying herself from the rocky motions of the monorail.

"No it's okay, I'm good." Aigis only nods.

Yukari's brown eyes glance over the cargo train, sneaking glimpses at the few passengers who are wearing their school uniform. Most were unfamiliar faces, chatting and laughing about. She quickly glances them over before pausing briefly on a particular brunette.

She recognizes those headphones.

Squinting slightly, it's quite a surprise to see the subtle similarities between the female with red and him. The way they sit comfortably against the window, eyes glued forward but not quite there, and the isolation of sitting at a lone corner listening to their music is incredibly nostalgic. She can't forget the memories she spent with the boy.

Don't start judging Yukari, you haven't even spoken to this girl yet. She reminds herself as she watches the girl reach out for her mp3 player.

Yukari thinks it to be very convenient that this student is going to Gekkoukan high too, noting the similar uniform she's adorning. Adjusting her hold on her blue bag, she motions toward the unknown female, dismissing Aigis' curious gaze with a wave of her hand.

"Sorry, I'll be right back okay?" She only receives a small unsure 'alright' as she makes her way through.

Her eyes flit about the train warily, noting the noises in the train toning down considerably. Yukari's footsteps falter, her motion decreasing as she glances about.

The irritating gossips, hushed whispers, choked laughs, and forced giggles aren't reaching her ears; only the whirring of the train's engine can be heard.

Yukari shifts her footing from the sounds of shuffling. There is sudden movement to her right, then her left, some from behind her, and Yukari finally realizes that passengers from all sides are beginning to crowd her. Their eyes are empty and irises glazed over that Yukari has to force herself to stare a little longer to read words she can't hear. She lip reads.

"Not yet, not yet."

That is the only thing Yukari can make out as they begin to push her gently away from the female. Her limbs refuse to function, her senses left numb, as her eyes take note of every movement. When her brown pools catch a pair of crimson staring back with apparent curiosity, Yukari feels slightly relieved that the female in red has taken notice of her current dilemma.

"Hey, stop clustering around her guys!" Yukari watches with apprehension as the girl stands from her seat.

The mob doesn't budge though, incessantly pushing Yukari desperately away from the dark-haired brunette. Yukari doesn't know what to make of it. They want her away from the girl?

"Not yet, not yet."

"Minato-san?"

Yukari's ears immediately shoot up and she twists around to see Aigis standing unsure behind her. When she follows Aigis' hopeful blue eyes, it only lands on the unknown female and it makes Yukari wonder: why hasn't she turned into one of these mindless people like all the others? Why hadn't Aigis and herself?

"Hey, did you guys even hear me?" Yukari watches helplessly as the crimson female continues to probe; moving a little more faster towards the mob. "I said get off her, you're suffocating!"

As if suddenly aware of the lack of oxygen in her lungs with everyone pressing up against her, Yukari begins to thrash about.

"G-get off!" She shrieks, roughly shoving away the group surrounding her.

She can feel people being peeled off from her back, they're loud thuds against steel floors echoing hard against her ears. But the more that got off her, the more aggressive they became as the ruby eyed student begins tearing people from the front.

"Not yet, not yet."

Their chants are audible now as they try to force the crimson student away from her. She is persistent though, managing to get a hold of Yukari's wrist in adrenaline; trying to pull her out of the raging crowd. Pain surges from Yukari's stomach when more wind is knocked out of her lungs by the mob; successfully forcing them apart to opposite sides of the train.

Yukari stumbles back and feels Aigis catch her just in time.

"Too late, too late."

To her surprise, the crowd begins to gradually dissipate. Yukari sees the way their eyes are slowly returning, no longer distant as the group begins to scatter. When they revert back to their normal selves - chatting and laughing and gossiping - Yukari wonders.

What the hell just happened?

"Thank you, Aigis." Yukari says, relieved as the robot gently sets her down.

She looks over to find the crimson female groaning from the other side, slowly getting up as she rubs her back from the painful result of landing on the metal floor. Yukari instinctively runs over to check if she's okay, noting that despite their closer distance, no mob or ravishing crowd formed to stop them.

Yukari kneels down to meet her at eye level as she offers her hand.

"Thanks," Yukari starts, unsure of what to say. "For helping me back there,"

Yukari responds with a shy smile when the stranger's carmine pools look up, her grin widening in gratitude as she takes Yukari's hand. As the dark-haired brunette dusts herself off, clearing away the slight wrinkles at the ends of her skirt, Yukari doesn't miss the small bruises that are etched along her legs.

She winces at the sight of cuts on her cream-like face when the stranger speaks. "No problem," seemingly unperturbed of the injuries she received. Her face is bright, showing off her pearly white teeth as she extends her hand for a proper greeting. "The name's Minako."

Yukari doesn't think much of the name, but hearing Aigis shift suddenly closer, it is apparent the robot does. Yukari takes her offered hand, pleasantly surprised of the stranger's gleaming personality.

"I'm Yukari," she replies as her eyes flit discreetly over to the silent blonde beside her, "and this is Aigis."

Yukari ushers to the robot who merely gives a curt nod.

The female doesn't appear to care much about the cold shoulder the blonde seems to be unknowingly giving her; offering a hand to the quiet woman. Yukari watches with slight apprehension as Aigis stares at Minako's inviting hand, as if there's something that's keeping her from reaching for it. When the robot finally does, Yukari narrows her eyes in concern.

Aigis' face is expressing feelings of nostalgia and Yukari can't help but question it.

"Aigis?"

"Minato-san?" Aigis whispers a second time, ignoring Yukari's call and Yukari is sure she's staring at the blonde like she's crazy.

Why think of Minato?

Yukari turns to face the stranger, curiosity eating her away as Minako laughs heartily; completely oblivious of Yukari's bewildered expression.

"Close," Minako exclaims, her smile still wide. "But just replace the 't' with a 'k'. It's Minako, Minako Arisato."

It's apparent that the crimson female had assumed Aigis to be a foreign transfer student who couldn't speak Japanese very well.

Yukari merely ignores the way Minako is staring at them curiously as her thoughts begin to relentlessly pound against her brain. The storm of endless possibilities is wracking against her skull and Yukari is having a difficult time processing what Minako has just said.

Arisato.
