That works! Yeah, the first person perspective of seeing this shadowy thing and a robot plus a burning car is kind of weird/random since it's not very obvious.

I don't mind the cat meeting plus alien world! Cats are also great conversation starter in general since apparently all Persona protagonists love cats to varying degrees? Complicated futuristic screens and advanced technology like that would also be so fascinating to him, especially since he's a typical Japanese teenager whose closest thing to that is seeing it on TV or a movie (flying into space doesn't count!).

Either way! I'm happy to go with either kind of memory returned to her. Not sure if they need to be somewhere specific in order to do the physical contact pass for it? The hot springs? If she doesn't mind chatting with him or having that heavy of a conversation in a place like that, that is, though I can see how that could be kind of awkward, haha.
