Inside the Theater…
"Wow, this really is a movie theater! And, look at your clothes-they've changed!" said Yosuke as he look with surprise then shock looks on his face at the huge interior of the movie theater around him then at Isamu and her friends in their school uniforms instead of their phantom thieves outfits that he saw in the movie earlier.
"Uh, yeah. We've already covered all this." said Chie as she rolled her eyes at Yosuke.
"That's right, Yosuke! You need to catch up with us!" said Teddie.
"Hey, you guys may have already seen this stuff, but it's still a first for me! It's a whole new world to me right now, okay!? Hearing about this stuff and actually seeing it are totally different!" said Yosuke in more surprise and shock to his friends.
"Yeah, we know but try to calm down please, Yosuke?" said Akemi calmly to Yosuke.
"My my, it seems that Yosuke is rather hot under the collar at the moment." said Elizabeth in amusement at Yosuke's reaction.
"Hot under"… That's the words you used once you see him, Elizabeth?" said Godric as he glance at Elizabeth.
"Whoa! Even more people! Wait, are they part of that army of blue folks you guys mentioned? Does that mean Marie-chan's here too?" said Yosuke as he glance in surprise and shock at both Elizabeth and Godric before he asked about Marie.
"Yeah, she is. Hold on, I'll go get her here." said Godric as he nodded at Yosuke before he left and came back a few minutes later with Marie.
"Geez, why do you bring me out of the room, Godric!? Can't you see that I'm busy with…" grumbled Marie as she scowled at Godric.
"Yeah, I know. But I wanted to show you that Casnar's guest have found and bring her missing friend back, Marie." said Godric calmly to Marie before he showed Yosuke to her.
"Oh, so you and friends have found him, that's good." said Marie with a small nod of her head at Akemi.
"Yeah, we know, Marie." said Akemi as she nodded back at Marie.
"Wow… Things got rowdy real quick." said Morgana as he glance at Godric, Akemi and Marie.
"Sorry that we're so loud, we get this way sometimes… Actually, "always" would be more accurate." said Akemi apologetically to Morgana about her friends.
"Don't worry about it because some of my friends also behaved the same like some of yours, Akemi." said Isamu reassuringly to Akemi.
"Thanks. I appreciate it." said Akemi as she nodded at Isamu.
"Welcome back, everyone. I'm truly relieved that your missing friend was safely found." said Nagi in a relief tone of voice to them while Hikari stand beside her.
"Uh, hey, partner-who's the total knockout over there?" asked Yosuke in confusion to Akemi about both Nagi and Hikari.
"She's the curator of this theater named Nagi-san that we told you about earlier, Yosuke. And the girl with her is Hikari-san." replied Akemi, telling Yosuke about both Nagi and Hikari (who nodded in silence at Yosuke).
"Hikari-san, you must be similarly relieved, no? You appeared quite concerned about Hanamura-san…" said Nagi as she glance at Hikari.
"Man… I'm sorry I had you guys worried. Uh, Hikari-chan, was it? Thanks for your concern." said Yosuke apologetically then thankfully to them.
"U-Um…" said Hikari hesitantly to Yosuke.
"Hm? What's up?" said Yosuke in slight confusion to Hikari.
"Why did you protect that herbivore? You could have… gotten yourself killed…" asked Hikari in confusion at Yosuke.
"Why, huh? I guess my body just reacted before my brain." replied Yosuke as he scratch his head a little.
"…You had no reason? Then, why…?" asked Hikari in more confusion at Yosuke.
"Oh, make no mistake, it was super scary! I almost got eaten alive… But, more important than that, I felt like I'd live to regret it if I lied to myself there." replied Yosuke.
"What… do you mean?" asked Hikari again at Yosuke.
"Like, if I fooled myself into taking the easy way out, just to get out of a jam? Whenever you continually do stuff like that… you start to hate yourself. I don't want to lie to myself anymore-I swore I'd never do it again." replied Yosuke.
"Well spoken, Yosuke." said Akemi as she nodded proudly at Yosuke.
"Yeah, although it sounds a bit cheesy." said Miyuki teasingly at Yosuke.
"Thanks, partner. And you think it's cheesy, huh, Miyuki-chan?" said Yosuke thankfully to Akemi then sighed at Miyuki.
"Waaaaah! That made my heart all fuzzy! It was cheesy like what Miyuki-chan said, but still so good, Yosuke!" wailed Teddie as he start shedding tears of awed and joy at Yosuke.
"Yeah-well said, Yosuke-senpai! That was some Grade-A cheese!" said Kanji proudly at Yosuke.
"Pfft, Yosuke, Grade-A cheese…" chuckled Yukiko.
"C'mon, stop making me sound like some kinda cheese freak!" snapped Yosuke as he scowled at Teddie for crying and at both Kanji and Yukiko for teasing him.
"Lying to yourself? It makes you… hate yourself?" muttered Hikari to herself as she closed her eyes.
"Hikari…" said Futaba as she glance at Hikari.
"The majority decided to abandon her… But, you all went to rescue her anyway, because… Because you wanted to be true to your feelings?" said Hikari.
"Yeah, exactly what you said, Hikari." said Isamu as she nodded at Hikari.
"It doesn't matter to me what some majority decides… I'd never abandon my friends if they were in danger-simple as that!" said Chie.
"Yeah. If only the same can be said for the corrupt adults that I and my friends faced and changed the hearts of before, and also…" thought Isamu in her mind before she briefly glance at Goro.
"We're not claiming that a majority rule is inherently bad. When a group decision is necessary, it's only logical to follow the voice of the majority… But, just because a larger number of people agree on a certain matter, That doesn't necessarily make them right." explained Goro calmly to Hikari.
"After all, isn't a vote supposed to be a collection of each participant's honest opinion? The alternative-blindly endorsing the majority and dismissing your own feelings on the matter-is just abhorrent." said Makoto.
"Your honest opinion…" said Hikari with a pondering look on her face.
"…Hikari, does it feel scary for you to be honest with yourself?" asked Futaba.
"That… I guess it's possible. If what I believed is different from what other people believe… they'll think I'm weird." replied Hikari sadly and slightly fearfully to Futaba.
"Yeah… I get what you mean." said Futaba as she glance down with a sad look on her face.
"But, you all stick together, even though you're all so different… I think-I'm jealous of that… I'm sorry. I can't explain it." said Hikari.
"You don't have to, Hikari-chan." said Akira as he smiled at Hikari.
"Hikari-san… You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. What's important is what you wish to do-there's no need to stress yourself over what that may be." said Nagi calmly to Hikari.
"Okay…" said Hikari as she nodded at Nagi.
"Well then, now that we've completed our search for Yosuke-senpai… What should be our next steps?" said Naoto.
"To leave this movie theater, we're supposed to change the endings of the movies, right?" said Yukiko.
"Yep-no matter what, we're gonna have to go back into the movie." said Morgana as he nodded at Yukiko.
"We're not done with that dinosaur that got my head, either. I don't know how to explain it, but if we just ignore them, I swear it's gonna haunt me." sighed Yosuke as he scratch his head again.
"In that case, let's head back into the movie once we're ready." said Haru to Yosuke and the others and they all nodded in unison at her.
"Just a moment." said Elizabeth.
"Hm, Elizabeth?" said Akemi as she glance at Elizabeth.
"What is it?" asked Isamu, staring at her as well.
"Hm, hm, hm, hm…" said Elizabeth as she began thinking deeply (which confuses Akemi).
"Elizabeth, don't keep them waiting too long." said Godric.
"My, how rude of me… I've inadvertently sensed a new "bond" developing between you two." said Elizabeth.
"You mean me and Isamu?" said Akemi.
"Yes. But how could this be, perhaps… because this meeting normally wouldn't be possible? Whatever the case, this is truly fascinating…" said Elizabeth.
"A bond between my partner and the red-haired girl, huh? That's a bit sudden-do you guys feel anything like it?" asked Yosuke.
"Yeah, we did, Yosuke-kun." replied Isamu as she nodded at Yosuke.
"I got an idea on what it is… Back in the movie, Isamu and Akemi teamed up and did that insane attack on the FOE." said Ryuji.
"We did it to buy some time for you guys to figured out how to switch it on and also I wanted to aid Akemi, Ryuji." said Isamu.
"True, even I was surprised by how swiftly and smoothly we're moving… It's like my body suddenly got lighter and I can feel some kind of energy rising inside me…" said Akemi as she glance and nodded at Isamu.
"And that's how we're able to take that FOE down with that one attack of ours." said Isamu.
"For real!? That's so insane and strong!" said Yosuke in surprise and shock at hearing what both Akemi and Isamu did to the FOE.
"But still, why would something like this happened now, of all times?" said Akemi with a confused look on her face.
"Everyone gained the ability to wield multiple Personas due to those with the power of the Wild Card meeting here… So, this awakening to a power through bonds could be a phenomenon specific to this world as well." said Elizabeth.
"Is that so, Elizabeth?" said Isamu.
"We coordinated our attack back then just by chance, but if we could do that whenever we want…" said Akemi as she think about it.
"It'll probably make fighting the shadows a bit easier and faster, Akemi." said Godric.
"So, why not further develop such bonds?" said Elizabeth.
"And how do we do that, Elizabeth?" said Isamu.
"Rather than explain it through words, It would be best for you all to experience it firsthand… There just so happens to be a relevant special screening for this occasion. By deepening the bonds amongst yourselves, I suspect it will give rise to additional powers… If any of you have the time, I'd most fervently like for any of you to come by the box office so we may investigate this further. With that taken care of, please excuse me and my twin brother…" explained Elizabeth before she bowed, turned and grab and bring Godric away with her.
After Isamu, Akemi, their friends and Miyuki watched both Elizabeth and Godric walked away from them, they turned and went to the concession stand to sell the items they found inside the movie, bought some items and upgrade their weapons then Isamu, Akemi and Miyuki went into the Velvet Room to fused and gained new Personas from Caroline, Justine and Casnar before they left the room and went back into the movie with their friends.
