"Mitsuru, I want you to know that this has nothing to do with making you feel guilty. I know we're all hurting, and I know that as our leader, you feel the responsibilty for everything happening, I really do. I don't even know if I should even tell you this but, you know. . . Laiko loved you. He was so in love with you, you know that? Why do you think he bent and broke himself whenever you asked for anything? He couldn't tell you because he knew you were engaged, but he loved you."
― Rei Shimakage to Mitsuru Kirijo, Persona 3

History


Persona 3

They met when they were still in middle school. Laiko's mother was invited and hired by the Kirijo Group to help them further their research on Shadows and the Dark Hour. Being a neuroscientist who specialized in experimenting on the power of Personas, Laiko's mother was one of the scientists that contributed to the modification of Mitsuru's Penthesilea to have secondary support skills. It was through this that Mitsuru and Laiko had already met prior to the latter joining S.E.E.S in the first place.

Relationship


"Mitsuru is smart, she probably figured it out already, but hasn't said anything because right now? This's inappropriate. I just wish that, at the end of this, I can tell her, because then I may never see her again after graduation."
― Laiko Shirozaki to Rei Shimakage about his feelings for Mitsuru, Persona 3

Listen this is all one sided and Laiko is just. so. in love. with Mitsuru like she was one of his pillars of support more than his own family ever was and even though she wasn't as warm as one expected to be, she was always the one telling Laiko to take care of himself. She always chided him for overexerting himself, as well as constantly throwing away his cigarettes before giving up on that entirely due to udnerstanding that habits are very difficult to kick. Mitsuru was really the one person who witnessed Laiko have a full blown breakdown about S.E.E.S, his family, the Dark Hour, the projects of the Kiriko Group and was the one tho heard him blatantly say that he wanted to just end it all. Laiko; however, felt shame breaking down in front of her because in his head, weakness his not allowed. He would and should always stay strong because any sign of weakness would be harmful in the long run as an individual and as a member of S.E.E.S. It never really occured to Mitsuru that Laiko was in immense mental and emotional pain on top of his everexhaustion, as well as finding out that he was being treated as a guinea pig in regards to Persona powers by his own mother. Even when Laiko was mad at Mitsuru for the choices she makes and the fact she always piles responsibility on her shoulders, he loved her with his heart and knows her pain even though she says nothing. They never really shared really intimate moments, but after Laiko's breakdown, Mitsuru personally took it upon herself to try and just be there, assuming that he had not opened up to anyone else yet. In all honesty, Mitsuru saw Laiko's adoration for her as a great amount of trust and openness towards her rather than any sort of love, so when Rei told her about Laiko's feelings and how he wanted to spare any complications to her engagement, it really made her hit a wall because she never thought that he, let alone anyone had any romantic feelings for her. It was really painful knowing that he had to hide it to spare her feelings, but she decided that the best way that she could make him proud of her was to continue living to her fullest.

After Graduation Day and Minato's death, Mitsuru visits Laiko's grave and tells him that she now knows how he felt and that she is flattered and thankful that of all people who could love her, he did, because she saw him as a good man. She laments not seeing it, but understanding why he spared it. She then says that if fate permitted it, and if he still were alive, perhaps she would have given him a chance.

ColorsHalsey

Everything is blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors Pull apart at the seams

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is grey

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue ♫

SorryHalsey

I run away when things are good

And never really understood

The way you laid your eyes on me

In ways that no one ever could

And so it seems I broke your heart

My ignorance has struck again

I failed to see it from the start

And tore you open 'til the end ♫


If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?Mayday Parade

When you hear this chorus

Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?

Do you hurt the way that I do?

After all this time you leave me broken

This song is every word I left unspoken

When you hear this, girl, I'm hoping that you think of us

That you think of us ♫

This Is GospelPanic! At The Disco

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

‘Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart ♫

All Around MeFlyleaf

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing

And so I cry

The light is white

And I see you ♫

Favorite RecordFall Out Boy

You were the song stuck in my head

Every song I’ve ever loved

Played again and again and again

And you can get what you want but it’s never enough

And I’ll spin for you like your favorite records used to

And I’ll spin for you like your favorite records used to ♫


Cassisthe GazettE

The loneliness is piling up. Please don't cry alone.

Even if we are so far away, we can believe each other.

I wish to smile as it is. I don't want you to hurt yourself.

I don't want to repeat such feelings, which have kept fading each time.

Even if you don't love me tomorrow, I must love you as I do now. ♫

PLEDGEthe GazettE

So that we can assure ourselves of our love we both had to see sorrow

Even if we both end up vanishing tomorrow It's okay to not cry anymore

Someday we will change into two people that pass like the seasons

Even if there will be nights when you will be frozen from sadness

Don't forget

Nothing will ever end ♫


ETERNITYVIXX

I wouldn’t want to see me without you even in a dream

If only you are next to me, I don’t care if it’s a nightmare

Suddenly, you grow faint

I can’t seem to say anything

I’m afraid to open my eyes right now

I wanna go to you, I wanna fall asleep again ♫

For LifeD.O of EXO

Never gonna let you go

Giving you my heart and soul

I'll be right here with you for life

Oh, baby all I wanna do is spend my every second with you

So look in my eyes

I'll be by your side

The storms may come, and winds may blow

I'll be your shelter for life

This love, this love

I mean it till the day I die ♫


Dark ParadiseLana Del Rey

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

But there's no you except in my dreams tonight ♫

Our DemiseI-EXIST

When I was lying by your side

I was dying from inside

I'm so sorry for the way I said goodbye

Tonight I won't be by your side

I can't keep holding on to our demise

So I'm letting go tonight♫

SEVERELYFT ISLAND

Severely, I guess I loved you too severely

I don’t even breath and I look around for you

I don’t know when I’ll be able to stop

Severely, I guess I loved you too severely

I think letting you go is more severe than dying

No matter how much it hurts, every day I practiced

Trying to get used to spending a day as if it’s nothing ♫

Love In The DarkAdele

You have given me something that I can't live without

You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt

But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine

The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight

Please don't fall apart

I can't face your breaking heart

I'm trying to be brave

Stop asking me to stay ♫


Trivia


  • Laiko had the habit of simply gifting and tossing to others neck scarves simply because he was known to always wear them. The one he gave to Mitsuru was his most treasured one, his orange and black patterned scarf that he wore at the start of the game. When she asked why he would give it to her, he just said she deserved something from the heart from time to time. This scarf was given the day before he died.
  • It's kind of common knowledge among the members of S.E.E.S that Laiko is a vocal powerhouse when it comes to singing (their karaoke sessions get wild if he's around hands down), so here's Laiko purposely singing Mitsuru's favorite songs as well as the songs she casually recommended to him in passing.
  • Laiko's box of cyanide cigarettes haunted Mitsuru even after his death. She believed that if he didn't die from the crash, he might as well have died from suicide and it made her more vigilant in keeping the rest of S.E.E.S together, knowing well that Laiko may not have been the only one pondering suicide at one point.
  • REN'S PERSONAL NOTE: LISTEN THIS LEGIT MAKES ME CRY WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF ESPECIALLY D.O'S VERSION OF FOR LIFE BECAUSE IT'S LAIKO TO MITSURU AND IM JUST IN A LOT OF PAIN
