Well, technically, yes. But since I'm your senior and have had more experience, I should look out for you, help you when you need it. Kouhai... that is, underclassmen... should respect their upperclassmen.
For example, Shinjiro-senpai and Akihiko-senpai have both been Persona-users much longer than Ken-kun and I, aside from being older, so we should defer to their experience.
Oh. We don't really have a culture like that where I'm from I don't think. We just kinda exist together! But if you ever want to give me advice I'm not gonna say no
[He doesn't anticipate needing any help from Minato, at any rate, but it's a sweet enough idea.]
Yes, it's very informal in America. I'm adjusting... But in that case, let me know if you ever need any.
For the most part. If Yukari-san and Junpei were here, they'd call them that, too. I tried to tell Ken-kun to call me senpai, so he'd feel more like a part of SEES, but I'm not sure it worked...
It's fine, Jaime-kun. [See, you got switched to -kun now that he knows you're younger.] Shinjiro-senpai doesn't really use honorifics, anyway. In Japanese, he has a very blunt way of speaking.
Don't bother. Since we're in America, we should get used to this way of doing things. Though if you're confused about anything... or if there's something else you want to know about Persona, or what happened at home... let me know.
[As far as Minato's concerned, being a genuine friend gets you a big free pass to the gossip chain.]

I also don't know what a senpai is. Does that just mean older than me?
[Shinji didn't teach him any of these things...!]

So do you call them senpai all the time?

Oh and you don't mind that other people don't use all the san and senpai stuff do you? Or is that rude?
[He'd feel pretty silly saying it...]

[Minato means "rude" and "abrasive".]
