I love all the persona protags too so this works out??

Maki definitely still composes! I think it's one of the few things that keeps her going but I don't think she's really been allowed to compose her own music because her management keeps her under such tight lock and key but long story short-- she'd absolutely love to bond with other people over music? Yu not being all that experienced would probably make it easier for her to bond with him and stuff since she'll feel less like she's gotta look professional and impressive.

They can go the same school and stuff maybe? Look out for their mixtape it's gonna be fire
