Persona: Mask of Innocence

The announcer called Suki to start singing.

 

Suki ran stage and started to sing, 'Lost in darkest blue. Endless labyrinths weaving though. Will you stagger on, with no star to light your way? Share with me your tears, all your troubles and deepest fears. I remember when you chased all my shadows away.'

 

Ovan smiled and jotted down some notes. Josh listened and wrote some notes as well.

 

Arisa listened to her sister. Suki continued to sing. 'Won't you take my hand? Come away with me from this land. Let me give to you all that you have given to me. Fly horizon bound, find the moon behind darkening clouds. Even far apart, know our souls together will be.'

 

Hattori sat back and listened.

 

Suki just continued, Aigis thought about the song. 'When the storm draws nigh, dreams will shatter before your eyes. Know that you're not alone. When the battle starts, I will comfort your restless heart. You'll know that you are home.'

 

Ovan and Josh kept writing.

 

'When your stars stop shining, endless vines around you winding, know that you're not alone. I will give my all so your tears will no longer fall down, down on sorrow's stone.' As Suki continued to sing, Aigis threw a glance to Josh and sighed.

 

Hattori continued to listen intently.

 

Suki continued. 'Look into my eyes. All eternity you will find in this fragile heart, know that you will always belong. Shout into the night, show the darkness that you will fight. Hopeless you may feel, but inside I know you are strong.' Arisa found the meaning behind the song, when Ovan was trying to run away, Suki wanted him to know he wasn't alone.

 

Ovan soon realized the meaning behind the song and started to cry a bit.

 

'Keep me in your heart so we'll never be far apart. Let the bonds of love break these chains imprisoning you. Always you will finds hadows lingering close behind. Lift your spirits now, we shall be together soon. When the storm draws nigh, dreams will shatter before your eyes. Know that you're not alone. When the battle starts, I will comfort your restless heart, you'll know that you are home.' Arisa smiled as she listened to her.

 

Ovan smiled and kept crying.

 

What a nice song.

 

'When your stars stop shining, endless vines around you winding, know that you're not alone. I will give my all so your tears will no longer fall down, down on sorrow's stone.' Suki finished and bowed, then walked off.

 

Hattori clapped loudly along with the crowd.

 

Arisa hugged her and gave her a comment on the song.

 

The announcer called Arisa up next.

 

Arisa simply walked out and started her song. 'She walks to school with the lunch she packed. Nobody knows what she’s holding back. Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday, she hides the bruises with the linen and lace.'

 

Hattori intently listened to Arisa.
