Persona: Mask of Innocence

"No." he said. "You don't."

 

"I know." Ryoji sighed. "In this form, I seem helpless. But I was the inspiration that caused you and Arisa so much pain, Suki."

 

"What do you mean, in this form?" he asked.

 

"I have another form, Nyx Avatar." Ryoji said. "I am Death, your original arcana, Ovan."

 

"I see." Ovan said.

 

"The food ought to be out soon."

 

Ryoji sighed. "I'm sorry for the pain you caused and that Suki and Arisa had to endure. As Death, I felt all the pain of the people you killed as Navo."

"Good, I'm straved."

 

"Hope you have a good appetite as there'll be a lot of food."

 

"I see." he said. "It must be difficult."

 

"We'll see, Hattori." Arisa smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryoji nodded. "You can probably imagine. Hearing the screams of the innocent people bringing salughtered. It can be unbearable."

 

"I go through it every night." he said, sighing. "I may look peaceful in my sleep, but I'm really in pain."

 

The waiter quickly brought the food and set it on the table.

"Let's dig in, shall we?"

 

Ryoji sighed, Suki asked, "Ryoji, why do you speak to us?" Staring at Suki, he turned away. "Because you both witnessed death."

"Yeah." Arisa began to eat.

 

"But many people witness death." he said.

 

"True. Suki, search your memories." Ryoji said. "Think of the time Arisa escaped." Suki tried to remember as he said, "But death has impacted you two the most."

 

Hattori started eating.

 

Shinji closed his eyes and soon feel asleep as he foudn himself with a room, a bedroom even as he saw Minato sitting on the bed, staring at him.

"I see you have arrived SHinji-san." " Minato said to him and Shinji stared at him

"Where am I?" He asked him and Minato spoke. "My dorm room when I was still in S.E.E.S, I also sense the Lovers Arcana within you and you do not even posses a deck of cards like Arisa-san."

Shinj pulled out Minato's desk chair and sat in it. "So, why am I here? I already told Yukari-chan your message."

"You like Yukari-chan don't you?" Minato asked and Shinji comically fell out of the chair. "Why bring that up of all things?" he aske dhim, blsuhign slightly and Minato laughed.

"Understandable you'd fall for her, she was the hottest girl in Gekkouhan High and guys would swoon at her at first sight and luckily for me, I wans't interested in girls yet. Minato said starign at him.

"So you've brought me to talk about...Yukari-chan?" He asked Minao and he nodded.

 

Arisa continued to eat.

 

"Pretty good, isn't it?"

 

"Oh." he said.
