My mind was at daze…"Where am I?" I thought to myself…I began to blink slowly…and regain thought.
"You're finally awake." a voice said to me
"huh?" I turned to the direction of the voice. All I saw was a shadow and a familiar voice.
"Its been a little over 4 years now."
"What? What are you talking about? Where am I?" I asked
"You're dead"
"I know…but why are you-" he cut me off in mid sentence
"I bet you wonder how your friends are…Akihiko, Junpei, Aegis, Yukari, and all the others "
"Yeah…but how do you know who my friends are?"
The person stepped out of the shadow. It was Igor. "Igor?" I said to him
"It's been a while Minato."
I got up and walked to him. "Igor how did I wake up?
"I woke you"
"Why?"
"Don't you want to see your friends again?"
"Yeah, but how does that have to do with the question I asked you?"
"I thought maybe you need a second chance, and live the life you wanted"
I was lost … "But who is going to replace me as the seal?"
" Elizabeth." he said
"What? No I can't have you do that."
"You do want to see your friends again don't you?"
"Yeah, but I can't have you make Elizabeth be the seal. It'd be selfish of me."
"Actually, Elizabeth offered herself to become the seal. She thought it'd be best "
"….."
"…so what do you say?"
I took a deep breath and got up, "ok, ill do it."
"Then, I wish you a good life." he chuckled. A Light flashed and I slowly started to fade away. "Oh and Igor."
"Yes?"
"Tell Elizabeth thank you."
" Of course, she wants you to live your life."
And with that I faded away…
I stood in what was my old high school, Gekkokan High…so many memories coming from here, the friends I made. I smiled . I thought to myself. "could this be real? And I really breathing, and here on earth once again?… or was I just dreaming…this is too real to be a dream though…I decided to walk around the city.
"November 20th 2014. 7:35 PM" the woman on TV in the electronic store stated.

(November 14 2014,Thursday)
I was doing my weekly shopping, pretty much the only free time I had on my week was on Thursdays. Anyway its getting dark I should head home, I'm feeling kind of uneasy anyway. As I walked closer to the electronic store, my heart felt weird. Their was a man standing in front of the electronic store. I felt a familiar feeling. He turned to look at me. I quickly turned away. He walked away. I stopped and looked at him as he walked away. Was that Minato? I thought. I shook my head in disagreement, what am I thinking that's impossible, besides this guy had a bit of facial hair... I walked back home.
MA
That was weird I thought to myself. That woman kept looking at me like if she knew me… anyway I decided to continue my walk around the city and familiarize myself with everything. I walked into a park and lay on a bench.
"Wow." I thought… "I'm alive… But man I'm hungry" I rubbed my stomach. "It's great that I'm alive and all…but Igor never mentioned that I'd be stuck like a hobo with no food and sleeping on a bench.(sigh) oh well I should be grateful he let me live again." I tuned to my side and decided to sleep early so I could get up early and look for my friends or any familiar faces.

Late night
I got home I couldn't stop thinking about that man I saw. His face flashed into my mind. I sat on my bead. I must be seeing things…I mean its been 4 years that he's been…dead… great I feel down now. Why is it that I always think of him I become greatly depressed… All my memories of him were coming back to me. The night at yakushima, The dates we had, the night I snuck him in my room…come on Yukari shake it off you've worked so hard to forget him….but what if he did come back why so suddenly… I pushed my face into a pillow and yelled in frustration. This is too much for me right now… ill just go to sleep…I struggled to sleep but I was able too eventually.

I woke up to a new day. Now for sure I knew I was in fact alive, So I should start Enjoying it like Elizabeth wanted me too. . I can't say I slept too comfortably in that wooden bench though… anyway I got up and walked around the city some more I picked up a few change I found on the ground. I thought to myself… What if they don't live here anymore? (sigh) I scratched my head Igor Really did make this difficult for me. I noticed a phone booth. "Hmm, I wonder if I can find some names there, and I do have some change I found" …I walked to the booth. Under it was a phone book. I skimmed through the pages…I looked up Yukari first.. I missed her the most of all…I spent a couple minutes skimming through…Ah! Here Yukari Takeba. Lets hope that's her…What should I say to her? Will she believe its me? What if she's forgotten about me?…oh well it doesn't hurt to try. I inserted the money and dialed the number.

My home phone began ringing before I headed to work. I went to pick it up.
"Hello this is Yukari?"
MA
Right when I heard her voice and name I quickly hung up. No Wait! What did I do! Crap…
YT
"Hello?" I hung up the phone, "…well that was weird" I said a loud to myself "Probably one of those prank callers…" I walked out the door and drove myself to work.
MA
I quickly scrambled change out of my pocket and started counting…I didn't have enough for another call… I hit my fist on the side of the booth. "Damn it… what was that?" I sighed and walked out the booth. As I walked I thought…"that voice …it sounded just like Yukari's…and she did say it was her name…" I guess ill have to look for more change for another call…but I am hungry too… I looked down to my stomach and it grumbled.
I spent the rest of the day picking up small change off the ground. I never imagined myself doing this…its was lunch time I had enough small change for a small burger… I went to the wild duck restaurant. I ordered my burger. Once I got it I felt like someone who hasn't eaten in years…Well actually I latterly haven't eaten in years. I noticed to women walk in… it was the same girl who was staring at me last night… she looks so familiar…
YT
It was lunch our so I decided to got to the wild duck burger for lunch. I hated this place but…he got me used to this food…"Yukari, stop thinking about him" I said to myself…besides I have a boyfriend already… I ordered the usual thing. I got my order and sat down with my friend from work, Elise, to eat. As I ate I noticed…the man who looked like Minato on the other side of the restaurant. He was eating then looked up at me… I looked down… he had the same look in his eyes, calm, cool, and relaxed…
"Yukari? What's wrong?" Elise asked me
"Hmm? What? Oh nothing"
"You were looking in that direction the quickly snapped back." She turned back to look at the man Yukari was looking at, "ooh Yukari He's cute and I think he's looking straight at you! Were you checking him out?"
"Stop Elise…I Have a Boyfriend…"
"That doesn't mean you can stop checking out cute guys."
"I wasn't checking him out he just looks familiar that's all"
"uh -huh.."
I shot her a dirty look
"okay okay…geeze haha."
Could it be him?….I thought to myself
MA
That woman… She looks a lot like…Yukari. What should I do? Should I approach her?…this might be the last time I see her… I got up and threw my trash away. And decided to walk out the door. I could tell from the corner of my eye that she was staring at me…Could it be Her?
