Persona: Mask of Innocence

"It's Arisa's turn this time."

 

"The arcana tonight is the Fool, the very first card of the deck." Arisa explained. "With my new persona, Orpheus, being of the Fool, I'm going first."

 

"Alright." Ovan said.

 

"Seven months from now, it will be Suki and Yukari's arcana, the Lovers." Arisa said, casuing Suki to blush.

 

"The first one shouldn't be too tough. We'll have to keep an eye out for minions though."

 

"Yeah, but still...... It might be hard to fight, though."

 

"If you need help, just ask me. Aigis can help you as well."

 

"Yeah." Arisa smiled toward Aigis, who blushed to her.

 

Shinji sat on a bench as he listened to them, he followed them without saying a word as Junpei sat next to him.

"You nervous dude?" he asked him and Shinji chuckled a bit. "Maybe a little but then again, I have been a deliquent at school and gotten into fights as well as fighting Shadows during the Dark Hour before I met everyone." He said to him and Junpei rubbed his hand on the back of his head.

"I know you aren't nervous, but why are you fighting?" Shinji aske dhim and Junpei's face become serious. "because I wasted my life once and died in the process, luckily, a former enemy soon I grew to like saved my life by sacrificng her own in return, her name was Chidori." He said, finishing his sentence and looked at Shinji.

"What are you fighting for?" Junpei aske dhim and SHinji thought to himself, he never really thought about it.

 

"The others are late. What could be keeping them?"

 

"Who knows?" Arisa sighed and looked toward Fuuka, who was talking with Yukari.

 

"Guess I'll do some meditation while we wait. Got to clear my mind."

 

"Okay." Arisa thought back to the boy she saw in the graveyard when Fuuka asked her, "Arisa-chan, what are you fighting for?"

"To avenge my parents. I want to rid this world of the Shadows that killed them."

 

Hattori sat under a tree and closed his eyes as he started to meditate.

 

"Before asking me, I'm fighting for Ovan and my parents!!" Suki told Fuuka.

 

Hattori felt his mind clearing. Everything and everyone around him seemed silent to him.

 

"I have something for you all." Mitsuru handed around red armbands. Arisa read what was on them. "Special Extracurricular Excuate Sector? That's what S.E.E.S. means."

 

"So we're honorary members now?"

 

"That's cool." Ovan said, putting his on.

 

Hattori slipped on his armband.

"Looks pretty stylish."
