When looking upon a situation that Akira Kurusu is now in, an onlooker may say, "This is gonna be so easy to fix, he just simply needs to redo everything, be more efficient, and be stronger at the end right?". This is of course the natural reaction, if you didn't have this just happen to YOU. The moment Akira became aware of the situation, he had begun to fight an uphill battle with his mental health.

W-WH-WHAT JUST HAPPENED? THIS CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!

All laws of reality would like to believe so, but you have transcended those laws, with your will of rebellion. A will this strong has only been seen with two individuals. Both of which, have much alike you, had ties to the Velvet Room.

How do you know all of this Arsene? You are just an extension of my own will, so shouldn't you only know what I know. And two other people?

I will describe to you the incidents that occurred prior to your awakening, but for now, your train is taking it's stop. I will let you try to collect your thoughts.

I exit the station, and begin walking the familiar route to Cafe Leblanc. Does this mean I have to do everything again? Does anybody have their memories? What about my physical strength? Or my Personas? What if I do something that alters what was supposed to happen!? What if I do something that prevents that Phantom Thieves from ever forming?

These thoughts plagued his head, to a point where he thought about just giving up. That no matter what he did, he would mess something up, and completely change the events if time itself. He eventually decided to push on, as he made it to Leblanc. I look at the Cafe that I had spent almost a year in. That is, before the world JUST WENT BACK IN TIME! I guess I should go in and introduce myself to Sojiro... again. Walking into the Cafe, I see the man who has been almost a second father to me. But in the beginning, Sojiro seemed to hate him, so this was going to be a rough start.

"Excuse me, do you happen to be Sojiro Sakura?" I ask him, already knowing the answer

"That would be me. I'm assuming that you're Akira Kurusu, the one staying here for the next year on probation." He responds.

"Correct Boss." I naturally reply.

"Boss? How do you my nickname?" He looks surprised.

Shit. Does this have an affect? What will happen? Will he question me?

"But sure, let me show you to where you'll be staying."

I let out a mental sigh of relief. He takes me back to the attic I'm oh so familiar with. Although, right now, it's back to the mess of boxes, and other objects. Yet somehow, even seeing it like this. I feel happy, relieved. Relieved that no matter what, this space would become an environment of friendship, and even romance. Without realizing it, I start to smile.

"Huh. Thought you would have a more negative reaction to this. Anyways, it's up to you to clean up." He begins to walk down the steps, but stops for a second. "Also, I am going to take you to enroll yourself in Shujin Academy. Keep in mind, that if you do anything wrong, you will be expelled, and I will not hesitate in kicking you out. If I'm right, you got in this situation for meddling in somebody else's business."

God I hated Boss when he was like this. But I can't blame him. All he knows is that I'm on probation for assault. He knows who Shido is, but he doesn't know the crimes he has committed. This time, I'm gonna give the right response!

"I had protected a woman from a man trying to assault her, but the man had ties to the police, "The police are my bitches", in his own words, so she testified against me. I suppose that could be considered meddling in somebody else's business, but I firmly believe what I did was just, wether you believe me or not." I tell him confidently. In truth, ever since he arrived at Leblanc, he had been planning that speech.

Thanks for the lessons Tora.

Sojiro looks surprised before he just shakes his head. "*tsk* Just don't get in trouble kid." He says before going back down. "I'm closing the Cafe, get your shit together by morning when we go to Shujin to meet your principle."

That's my cue to start cleaning. I remember the first time to be way harder, in fact, by the time I was done, I was tired and sore. This time though, I was fast and efficient. Moving the objects into place was easy a piece of cake. To test my theory, I take of my shirt and observe my body. Yup, it was toned as when I last checked. Which means I should be able to do stuff I couldn't before! I could maybe talk to Iwai, or Hifumi about their problems without having to get smarter or braver! I mean, what is Iwai compared to a god? Anyways, time to go to bed. Wait, isn't today my first trip into the velvet room? I guess I'll see.

Falling asleep, I begin to feel confined, yet at the same time, I feel free? The dark lightens up to the usual velvet room atmosphere, and I'm in the cell, but I can't move. Even if I was in shackles I would be able to shake, but I just can't move! Yet, my body gets up? What the hell, he's, I mean, I'm walking towards the bars like before, I see the twins and Igor imposter, yet I can't speak, it's like I'm rewatching the past?

Indeed Akira, I have prevented you from speaking, for your own safety. If the imposter realizes that you know his real identity, he will not hesitate killing you instantly. Or rather, having the twins kill you.

Can't I just persuade them like last time? No, you are not strong enough yet, and you have not shown your hardships, they will only listen to their "Master's" . But during the first palace tomorrow I would like some explaining.

Ah yes, your first encounter. You already have me at your disposal, but your clothes will not change until you give me the word. How it commences is up to you, but I suggest you act as before, and let the guards capture you.

I agree.

The dream was ending, time to enjoy a well deserved rest.

Well that's it for chapter 2, like before, leave your reviews, they inspire me to do more. The whole butterfly effect thing let's me not have to say the exact dialogue from the game, because even though I've watched and played the game so many times, the dialogue can sometimes be unmemorable, so this will help me out. Also, while making this chapter, I encountered a couple glitches with FanFiction, where it would display the chapter in code. So it pretty much had a bunch of text describing what the text was like in front of the text. I'm hoping this glitch was a one time thing, but it anybody could help me with it, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
