Persona: Mask of Innocence

"I'm glad. I have a great teacher."

 

Arisa smiled, but heard the whisper in her ear again. 'If only he knew the truth, then he won't like you anymore.'

 

Hattori put his arm around her and smiled.

 

Arisa wrapped her arms around him and smiled back.

 

Hattori leaned in and kissed her.

 

Arisa kissed him back when she heard Igor, "Arisa, come to the Velvet Room at once." Arisa broke away, "Sorry, but Igor is calling me."

 

"Alright. I'll be waiting for you."

 

Arisa flew to the Velvet Room and entered to find Igor and Elizabeth waiting eagerly for her. "Yeah?"

"Tonight, Arisa, will be a turning point in your destiny," Igor told her.

"What?" Arisa asked.

"You will be tested on your loyal and friendship tonight. Should you fail that test, your future with the others will seem lost." Arisa thought about what Igor told her and recalled the voice she heard in her ear.

 

Hattori went to his room and started drawing.

 

Mitsuru knocked on his door, "Hattori, come to the living room. It's almost midnight."

 

"On my way." Hattori said as he put away the sketchbook.

 

The living room changed to a green color when Mitsuru entered the living room, Fuuka was surrounded in Juno, scanning for Arisa.

 

Hattori went to the living room.

"If you're looking for Arisa, she went to the Velvet room."

 

"No, I found her at the high school, probably waiting for us." Juno disappeared and Fuuka sighed. Mitsuru nodded and said, "Lets get going."

 

"I'll meet you guys there."

Hattori went outside and flew towards the high school.

 

Suki flew alongside beside him as Mitsuru and the others followed on foot. Suki landed in front of the transformed high school as Yukari and Shinji came up. "Nee-chan, we're here! Nee-chan?" Arisa had her back to them.

 

"What's wrong, Arisa?" Hattori asked as he approached her.

 

Arisa turned around as Orpheus and Nekotoma appeared, grabbing Hattori and Suki. Arisa walked out to the other, revealing some kind of hamlet on her head. The leader appeared behind her. "Hello, everyone."

"What happened to Arisa?!" Mitsuru asked.

"Simple. She's doing what she experimented to do, to kill others. She was the perfect sample of Project Nyx."

 

Hattori gripped his scythe angrily.

"There's no way I'm letting you use her like some tool of destruction."

 

Suki called out Artemis and started to fight Nekotoma. "Nee-chan, snap out of it!"

Arisa didn't listen and brought out a grim-looking Shadow. Aigis gasped, "No, it can't be....... Death.........."
