Shrike's Shibuya

... contains several differences from the familiar version of Tokyo common to all other worlds. Most prominently:

-> The Shibuya 109 building is instead the 104 building. (Henceforth the two are referred to as "Shibuya 109" and "Shibuya 104" respectively.)
-> There is no Okumura Foods. The Big Bang Burger on the corner near 109/104 is instead a chain called Justice Burger. Other BBB locations are other chains or different fast food shops entirely.

Sparrow, if you're reading this, you'll most likely blank out the rest of this information. Continue at your own risk.

-> There is no direct equivalent to the Metaverse/Tokyo's cognitive world. However, there is a similar plane known as the Underground which is a sort of cognitively-flavored afterlife, 'closer' to the real world than the Metaverse.
-> The Underground does exist in this world, but it is empty. Noise (the Underground counterpart of Shadows not attached to a particular person) does not appear.
-> Personas cannot be used in the Underground. However, my abilities (psychs) from the Underground can be used in Mementos.
-> My wings are only visible in cognitive spaces (Velvet Room, Mementos, etc), which is approximately the same behaviour as in Shibuya 104.
-> Attempts to overwrite BBB 109 with Justice Burger 104 produced a hybrid "Justice Banger," with a largely BBB menu. Hypothesis: BBB is too prominent in the cognitions of the people present in this world to change entirely.
-> Attempts to insert other shops that do not exist in Shibuya 109 have been largely successful. In particular, it is possible to recreate shops that are no longer open in the real Shibuya 104 (Ramen Don).
