Well, we just need our quota of "mystic and mysterious" and "hangouts for adults and teens". So probably an antiques store/rare books store for additional advice by mysterious old folk. Any word if we'll be seeing Igor around? :p

As for the school; well, that was a suggestion. Gabriel would be going to a public school, since he's not likely to attend a posh one. Not that there'd be one in a remote town like Bedford.

Even in a small town like Bedford, there'll possibly be something like six to a dozen high schools, depending on the population and public transportation.

One question that comes to mind regarding Bedford; what is the local industry? Colorado has a lot of agriculture, used to have quite the mining industry, and has quite a few military facilities sprinkled throughout the state, so it's possible to have some heavy industry (though not on the scale of California, the Rust Belt, or Texas, for example).

As for the Shadows/Nightmares; the reason they grow weaker is because as the sun rises, the connection between our world and theirs grows weaker, so they begin to fade at those hours. It doesn't matter much to me personally, since it would give the Persona users and excuse to pack up and go home for some sleep. However, this does bring up an extra point; if the connection between our world and the Nightmare world grows weaker, then any humans still in the other world are trapped - with all the unpleasant implications thereof. It would become a race against time to save those caught on the other side before the rise of dawn.
