Well, now that everyone has been traumatized by the Epic Shadow Plot, I'm sure a lot of you have built up tons of CR with people. So, it's time for:
You know how it works! Reply here with all your characters and a CR list (if you have one) and then wait for people will respond asking for your character(s)'s opinion(s) are on theirs.
Get to it!

Since the Shadow Plot, Naoto really wasn't terribly surprised by the issues that Issei's Shadow displayed. What surprised her was just how deep they went. Although, when you're the only "unremarkable" guy surrounded by all these people with super powers, it can be a bit frustrating.
Having the opportunity to fight side-by-side with Issei only served to bring them even closer together. Seeing how happy Issei was to really contribute to a group effort... it warmed the cockles of Naoto's heart. Seriously. She could not have had a better ally on her team! For the first time, Naoto was able to experience what it feels like to see someone you care about take a hit for you. It hurts, but it motivates you to try harder and make certain that their sacrifice wasn't in vain.
Issei is a fighter, definitely! There's a reason Strength follows Fortune in the Tarot. No matter what obstacles life may throw your way, Strength is what motivates you to keep pushing through. But unlike the Chariot, that doesn't stop even when you hit a brick wall, Strength is tempered by discipline and control. Issei is the sort who possessed a deep well of inner strength (which was able to manifest for a short time as a totally ass-kicking Persona!).
If there's one thing Naoto learned from Issei's Shadow, it's this: relationships are about give and take. Being the one who only takes is bad, but also being the one who only gives is just as bad. There is selfishness in not allowing your friends to return the favor, in other words, keeping them in debt to you. It's important to let the cycle of karma flow--to pay it forward, but to also graciously accept charity when offered.
Naoto wants to spend more time with Issei and visit his world now. It will be a nice change to let him play host and fuss over her for once. She really is looking forward to seeing his garden, too. Hopefully, Issei's zen will rub off on Naoto and grant her the serenity needed to make it through this latest difficulty in her life.
Also, she totally baaaawed over the fact that he called her "Naoto". And she secretly wants to fanboy with Issei over Kid.

Okay, that and they should have secret fanboy sessions. It would be awesome, you know it would.

Naoto: Hee~ He kissed my cheek! Kaitou Kid kissed me on the cheek! I thought I could have died!

...you're not helping your 'not a squealing fanthing' case there, Naoto. Issei doesn't even pretend to not squeal.
no subject
...Issei's the only one who gets to see her like this. You should feel honored. The only other things she fanboys over are robots and sentai shows.
no subject
Issei's a dork about a lot of things/people, but he'll accept Naoto's rare moments of fanboyism as something he should enjoy and empathize with.
