*Disclaimer I do not own Persona this is completely fan-made*

Sometimes there are some decisions that people make that just end up being a regret, that is fact. Although what is to happen when you cannot regret the decision but at the same time you must make another which could turn the previous decision into a regret? One is to only find out here, in Inaba as another boring day passes without the investigation team's leader Aerion...or is it?

"Y-Yosuke! Thats a topsicle I was saving for after work!"

"Teddie for the last time, they'll melt and the fridge is done for. On top of that you still owe me for covering your furry hide when you ran off with those school girls last week!"

"But Yosuke that elegant shard of bearificness is my secret to keeping my fur all groomed! Without them I'm afraid I won't be able to score with Yukiko-chan later." Teddie groaned while grabbing, clawing his way to the precious topsicle in Yosuke's hand.

"Jeez... you think you two would have gotten used to each other by now. Here Teddie take mine."

"Kanji?! Are you sure?"

"Whatever man, its just ice cream"

"Kanji..." Teddie glared at kanji with glimmering eyes. "If I had known better I would have though you were hitting on me, but thanks! I'll just ta-"

"On second thought you can get your own damn ice cream" Growled Kanji as he swiped the topsicle from right under Teddie's furry nose. As Kanji and Teddie fight over the ice cream Yosuke sees a familiar figure in the distance. The short silver hair rustling around through the slight breeze in the air, the same relaxed pose with one hand in the pocket and the one familiar blank stare.

"H-hey...guys.." grabbing Kanji's jacket, Yosuke tried to catch the two's attention.

"Guys... hey...HEY!" tearing the jacket off Kanji's back so hard it caught him off balance.

"THE TOPSICLE!" Diving for the popsicle slowly flying through the air, Kanji and Teddie end up tackling Yosuke and a loud thump echoes around. Panicked, Yosuke takes a quick look around to see if the figure was still there. Sadly, the figure was gone and the topsicle ruined.

"Could it have been….but he left… no way…"

Scratching his head in pain Kanji groans " Ah..man that hurt. Huh? What's up Yosuke? You look like you just saw a ghost or something."

Yosuke sat there dumbfounded and perplexed as to what he saw and without a word Yosuke ran home leaving Kanji behind. Twindling his fingers as his phone sat beside him opened and turned off, he kept the thought of the figure in his mind. It has been a few months since you left but he couldn't have come back so soon and unannounced. You would have told his best friend, his partner, his brother in arms or rather personas. All of a sudden a bright light emerged from Yosuke's phone, he then pounced the phone with the hope to finally get the facts straight only to have his hopes shattered by Chie.

Hey Yosuke I just remembered, a new trilogy of Trial of the Dragon is out at Okina tomorrow! Come with me! you still owe me for the DVD . oh and bring snacks, they don't have anything good at the theatre.

Yosuke sighed " Of course. Man this is getting under my skin. Gotta stop thinking about it. Its going to drive me nuts" He plopped himself onto his pillow with the phone still open and a blank stare aimed at the screen.

Sure.

"B-B-Big Bro!" Nanako jumped into your arms. Your soft smile appeared and kind eyes on Nanako. Putting your arms around Nanako with your jacket soaked in the sun's rays giving it a warmth unlike any before.

" I missed you! why didn't you tell me you were coming?! I would have showed you the new things the girls taught me to cook!" Her innocent voice pierced the ears of our hero which in turn made him hold Nanako tighter.

"Now now Nanako he just got here, don't overwhelm him. Sorry, she's been asking me everyday since you left if you were coming any time soon. I didn't know what else to tell her. Anyways you know the drill, Your room's upstairs and left the same way it was when you left. Now Nanako why don't you get the food we got from Junes yesterday ready for dinner alright? I've got to go by the station real quick to drop something off" Dojima had grabbed his keys and coat and headed out. Aerion's face turned to Nanako's who only kept burying her face in his chest. The Tv soon played a familiar tone, one that Nanako was very familiar with. He sang along to the tune near Nanako's ear while she attempted to join in.

"E…ryday…*sniff* great at ..Junes" Aerion picked her up and sat her on the kitchen counter with kind eyes and told her that he'd get the food ready and let Nanako rest a bit. You tell her about your life back in the city after you left Inaba as you get the food ready and clean the table. Nanako wipes her face with her sleeve exposing a weak smile and a faint giggle. The clock ticks slowly as the two keep producing memories from their lives away from each other catching up, smiling, and laughing.

"I missed you big bro" weeped Nanako as she cleaned the kotatsu table for dinner. Aerion nodded back to her in compliance while bringing the boat of sushi to the table.

Deep in sleep Aerion feels a strange presence in the back of mind. The haziness he feels is familiar and the sensation given off from the presence is one he had not felt in a while. He opens his eyes to see Marie in the velvet room while Igor and Margaret are nowhere to be found.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room" Marie was mocking Margaret you could tell. "Heh, I could never sound as stiff as she is, too bad, Teddie said it would make a great joke" She comes closer to you and sat down beside you.

"It's been a while huh? You never told me you were coming stupidmeanyjerk." She clutched your sleeve lightly and leaned her head onto you. " But thats fine, you're here which means I can be with you so I shouldn't really complain." She let out a soft sigh that gave Aerion a sense of relief and detachment from everything else but Marie. Just as you finally get comfortable the haziness sensation starts to begin again and you wake up in your room. You feel something wrapped around you and a large object beside you in your futon. Is it the blanket? did something drop on you to wake you up? Quickly looking around you find Marie in your futon beside you with her arm on your chest clutching your heart sound asleep. You adjust yourself to bring her closer and to brush away the hair covering her eyes. You think to yourself, You picked the right time to visit even if it is only for a while.
