[Today in ye olde open post, there is a tiny kid up in your character's business or alternatively your character is up there in his business! He might seem familiar or he might not, but no matter what the case he seems kind of timid. Approach?

Rambling: A Haven for Nightmares
This is just some rambling about my time playing Minato in Haven, so I can sort out what I did right/wrong etc. and how to go about portraying him in other situations especially in regards to patterns to avoid in Cereals.
Okay, so to start with an important question is whether Minato has PTSD or not given that he exhibits a lot of the symptoms (Flashbacks, repression, lost memories etc.) in the movies and he also deliberately avoids the Moonlight Bridge in the game itself. The source material hasn't said anything conclusive, and in any case it's pretty unlikely that he would have gotten a canon diagnosis due to the stigma of mental illnesses in Japan and strong evidence that his fosters didn't care about him at all- as such I wouldn't go as far as to say "Yeah, he has that" but the symptoms are there if he encounters a situation traumatic enough to make him relive what he went through.
The rest will be underneath a cut, with a content warning for depression and suicide because this is pretty damned heavy stuff.
( And it got worse, basically. )

Beware what finds you in the rain
[Rain has honestly never bothered Minato before, not even when an unfortunate downpour had left him sick for days once and had nearly led to his premature demise. It's the perfect cover for him in a way, the pitter-patter of raindrops and the dark sky drowning out what little emotion he may have showing on his face as he weaves his way through the deafening crowd, muttering a few words of apology as he treads on shoes and puddles alike, not knowing which is which and not particularly caring to check right then.
The torrent shifts when he's barely a quarter of the way back to the dorm, a deafening roar following drops of water that pelt onto unwilling victims like bullets. Minato concedes at last and takes shelter below a tree overlooking a playground, broken swings hanging by a single chain and moved by the howling wind. He finds it strange that such an abandoned playground should exist anywhere around Iwatodai, but a sudden sneeze soon follows and he finds himself shivering soon enough, hugging himself and to protect himself from the cold.
It's little wonder then that he's oblivious to a stranger being close by, though the stranger may not be so alien after all...]

Short Steps, Deep Breaths
[Dr. Neil Watts doesn't treat kids. He's almost certain that was made clear, in all of his paperwork, in every PR stunt trying to get Sigmund Future Technologies a good name, in every single patient file he prepared. Even though he tends to slack until the last possible moment, when asked to update his biography for the company website, he was quick to add that in. He doesn't mean offense by it... he just makes a point not to treat children. Maybe it's because as a bachelor, he's not interested in children. Maybe he secretly isn't as rude as he pretends to be and actually has a problem seeing children die. Maybe it's just not worth the money to him. But for whatever reason, he refuses every child that requests treatment.
...Except this one. This request was one he just couldn't refuse.
Of course, that doesn't mean he won't complain for most of it. He's mumbling a bit under his breath as he wanders through the data recreation of Gekkoukan High School, ignoring the students who give him odd looks as he walks past. They're unimportant, anyways. He's only looking for one particular student, and when he finds the boy, sitting at his desk, half-asleep, he approaches swiftly. He stands there for a moment, weighing how to even begin, or perhaps just internally berating himself for actually going through with this, but finally, he speaks.]
Minato Arisato?

How can this be?

You didn't knock it down, FOE!
It's getting back up, FOE!
I forgot Trafuri, FOE!
Suddenly from a corner, FOE!
This hit hurts, FOE!
If you head upstairs, FOE!
Once every dungeon is FOE!
Everyone move, that's an FOE!

Birds of a Feather
See you later, Ryoji-san. [Ryoji had already been told that he could stay longer as long as he went home at night, and they'd capitalized on that to talk about everything underneath the sun: Girls, school and so on were the main topics although they'd also shared a joke here and there. Minato was supposed to see him off, but it was his turn to shower and he'd left to take a quick bath-
Only to return in his bedclothes with his hair a little damp and feeling sleepy, stifling a yawn as he opens the door and blinking in surprise when he sees Ryoji lying on his bed. He walks over to the railing to place his towel before kneeling down to look at his friend and shake him gently.] ...are you alright?

A dark and wintry day [Minato, March]
If there ever was a literal application for the phrase 'a cold day in hell' that involved living people perhaps this could be it, the swift descent of a blizzard upon Haven catching its captives unawares, from the newcomers that were only beginning to find their feet to the seasoned veterans who nevertheless found themselves confused and very much chilly after the fact.
One such unlucky soul would be Minato Arisato, who'd likely have commented that he'd prefer to be unseasoned if he was asked to comment on his experience at any time other than this day. As it were it hadn't taken the boy long to realize that getting everyone inside the apartment was a priority and he busied himself doing just that, switching to an ice-based Persona so that he could actually feel his hands as he led people back to the apartment.
It would be almost dark before Minato could be sure that everyone was safely inside, and with that he could finally make his way up to his own room, dripping water on the steps as he began to thaw out and look less like a walking human popsicle. He was shivering by the time he was actually able to open the door without feeling like he was grasping at nothing from the numbness of his hands and it certainly didn't help much that the interior seemed to feel just as cold as the outside.
Minato was never one to dally though and he immediately sought out a towel and some dry clothes to change into, trying not to think about how cold it was outside, how cold it was inside and how-
"Achoo!"
He had caught a cold, to be followed by a rare self-pitying groan upon discovering that the only dry clothes he had were his actual bedclothes that were more suited for- well, any weather but this, honestly. Still, it was much better than freezing to death and he made a mental note to not mention that phrase to March as he walked out of the bathroom afterwards, dry if not entirely warm.
