A Narcissistic Mutiny

The group was in Akira's room deciding what to do about Okumura. Akira was holding his head in his hand thinking aloud; "I know that the black masked person killed the Principal since we never went to the Metaverse during Hawaii but what if he goes after Okumura since he knows about the mental breakdowns? We have to go change his heart as quick as possible. But the only problem is, is that all this publicity is getting ridiculous and what if we're the reason things are getting worse?" He then thinks about Akechi to himself; "Akechi wasn't in Hawaii and he has been in the Metaverse since he heard Morgana talking about pancakes so he has to be the mental breakdown causer hence making him the black masked person. Dammit...I just can't say anything since I don't have proof of it…" "Yes, we have to start being careful, especially since the police are starting to think we caused your principal's suicide and like you said, the publicity is making it worst."

Ann puts her head on his shoulder; "Yeah...it's really getting out of control. Maybe we should wait and let things cool down first." "Maybe we shouldn't have let this go to our heads…"

Yusuke sighs; "I knew we should have been more careful instead." "To be honest, how are we supposed to do it then?" "I don't know…"

Ryuji slams his fist into his thigh; "Dammit! All I wanted to do was to get famous so I can have a reason for my mom to be proud of me and to prove I'm not just a useless idiot…but shit is too much!" "Wha' are ye natterin' about matey!? Yer mother be always proud o' ye!" "She's just saying that cuz I'm her son…"

Makoto looks down thinking aloud; "This has been a bit overwhelming, I'm just worried about my sister. Even though she knows that our principal's death doesn't fit with our modus operandi, she's still trying to find ways to link his death with us…" "You sister is really trying to solve this case as fast as she can because we're making the police force look foolish."

"I put Okumura's name into the app and he has a palace, we should go in and finish it quickly." "W-we can't act so rashly Futaba-chan and that's me saying that so I must be right!"

Yusuke sighs; "But how do we know that he's really a bad person? We can't depend on the news since they label just as much." "So much labeling..."

Ryuji looks over at Akira; "So what do think we should do leader?" "Aye captian! We needs yer thoughts!"

Everyone else looks at Akira making him starts to panic inside; "W-Well...It seems like everyone doesn't know what they want to do. But half of me wants to just jump right in it but Yusuke's right; we don't know if Okumura is really a bad person." He looked over at Makoto; "You said that Kunikazu Okumura's daughter is Haru, right?" Makoto nods; "Then it's settled, we'll go talk to her tomorrow then. It's the only way to find out if Kunikazu is really a bad person." Everyone except for Morgana nods; "Good."

But Morgana jumps on the table in front of Akira; "Wow, you really are pathetic, Akira. Scared to go after an easy target like Okumura?" "I always knew you had no cojones, Arsene!"

Akira glares at him; "No one said they were scared of Okumura, we're making sure he's actually a bad person like we did with Madarame!" "What the hell does cojones even mean!?"

Carmen snorts; "It means balls and he says you don't have any, which is obliviously a lie, because you're the most courageous man I've ever known!" Ann quickly gets up and glares at Morgana; "What's your problem Morgana!? Akira is being a leader by not jumping headfirst into things without thinking!"

Morgana looks at Ann; "No he's not! A leader is strong and courageous which I am and he isn't!" He looks back at Akira; "I don't get why they picked you to be leader! If it wasn't for me and Zorro, Akira would be nothing! Also, the only reason why Lady Ann loves you is because you're the leader of the PT! If you weren't, Ann wouldn't care about you at all!" Zorro snorts back; "Most courageous? Don't make me laugh! I'm much better looking and stronger then this pendejo! I don't get why you fell in love with him instead of me! Arsene isn't even close to being half the man I am!"

Akira looks down in sadness; "Is that true Ann…?" "So you do know about me and Carmen...But you're right, I don't have any balls and I am whatever a Pendejo is. I'm too scared to tell Carmen my past…you deserve Carmen more than I do…you can have her…"

Ann looks at Akira in shock from easily believing him; "Of course that's not true! I started falling for you even before I knew you were a Phantom Thief!" She turns to Morgana in anger; "And you! I kept telling you to stop calling me Lady Ann and to stop trying to be charming towards me! Why can't you get that through your head!?" Carmen gasps from Arsene instantly giving up; "A-Arsene! What are you talking about!? Zorro's an asshole who doesn't know about respect! You're always respectful and you always make me feel happy to be alive. But more than that; you also make me forget my past! I'm the one who doesn't deserve you!"

Morgana rushes towards the top of the stairs of the attic and looks at Akira; "I'll prove that I'm better than you and that I am more fit to be a leader than you are! And Lady Ann will see who the better man is since you brainwashed her to think less of me! So meet me in the Metaverse where the 1st blocked door was." "Carmen is only saying that because you convinced her that you are this great man! But, I and Morgana will show her the truth after we beat you!" He goes to the subway.

Once he leaves; Ann goes to put a hand on Akira's shoulder in comfort but he brushes it off; "If he wants to be an asshole and try to prove to himself...then I'm just going to let him be leader instead so I'm just to get this over with…" "…" He then goes after Morgana.

Everyone just stood or were sitting down in silence. But after a while, Ryuji shoots up; "Damn that cat! Why does he always have to act like he's better than everyone!?" "That Zorro mighty pisses me off! How could he say Arsene was a yellow-bellied cur, he's the best Cap'n I ever known!"

Yusuke crosses his arms thinking aloud; "It's because he's insecure and upset that he lost his memory so he always has to act like he's better than everyone. But still, that doesn't give him the right to be an hateful about it and make Akira feel bad about being with Ann even after she told him countless times to stop hitting on her. He even went far enough to say Akira brainwashed her.""Zorro shouldn't have been calling Arsene a coward especially since it's not true. I respect Arsene more than anyone and he always looks out for us."

Futaba starts sobbing; "Why is Mona being such a jerk...? Akira did nothing wrong!" Necro was crying; "Akiree and Arney don't deserve this!"

Makoto kneels next to the distraught Ann; "Akira didn't mean to brush your hand away, Ann. It just looked like Morgana hit a nerve with Akira. Did something happen before he transferred here?" "Hey Carmen, don't worry about Arsene, there's obviously something bothering him. Arsene loves you; there must be a reason for him to dismiss you so easily."

Ann looks over her shoulder at Makoto trying not to cry; "H-He would always would say that he has no future and has nothing to lose. But not only that; he said I deserve better and he's afraid that I'll leave him..." Ann eyes went wide realizing what it could be; "It must be that girl from his hometown…what did she do to him!? I must know! But after I talk to his parents after we deal with Okumura!" Carmen was crying, "Y-you're right, I-I must know why he's afraid to tell me his past, I may be scared to tell him my past as well but he's hurting inside! I can't stand that! I won't stand for that! I don't care what his past is! I love him and I will continue to show him how much I love him!" "I need to go!" Ann gets up and rushes to the top of the stairs.

"Wait Ann! We should leave them alone and let them settle it!" Ryuji says looking at her

Ann quickly shakes her head; "Of course not! What if Morgana and Zorro are planning something? Even if Morgana's ego is big, he knows that attacking Akira will make me hate him even more now." "What could they be planning then?"

All of them think but then Yusuke gasps; "Didn't Morgana talked about a strong shadow called the Reaper?" "That's it! They're going to make them fight the reaper!" Goemon yells

Everyone else gasps and Ann has the look of horror on her face; "We have to hurry then!" "If that bastard Zorro gets either one of them killed, I'll kill him!" She then quickly run downstairs.

The rest of the group quickly follows Ann and they all run as fast as possible to the subway

Mementos Path of Qimranut Area 1

Akira and Arsene were walking to find the escalators leading downstairs. Akira was mumbling the whole time, "That damn Morgana...! I just had to tell him about my past and he uses it against me."

Arsene was depressed as well; "Zorro…he got the best of me and I had no comeback. Maybe I am whatever he called me and a coward…"

Akira sighs; "You're not a coward Arsene and everyone knows that. You're just like me having your past drag you down."

"That's easy for you to say, you didn't have three people killed and one of them was someone you loved, that you killed with your bare hands."

"I guess you beat me in that regard...but like I said it's your past and I'm sure Carmen doesn't care. It also seems like she's hiding something as well, you just…" He stops when Arsene shushes him.

"My apologies but did you hear something?" Arsene looks back and around

"It must be shadows on the next floors, don't worry about it." They starts walking when they suddenly gets hit with a dark green wave making their bodies get covered by a dark green aura; "What the...!? I think we were hit with Masukunda!" But they get hit with another dark green wave making them even slower.

"Did a shadow get the upper hand on us!? I thought we killed them all on this floor!?" After Arsene says that, two rays of lights shined on them. Both Akira and Arsene looks behind themselves and noticed Morgana in his van form with Zorro on top of him; "You two!? I thought you were waiting for us on the next floor!?"

"I guess not, pendejo. We've been planning this moment since we overheard Seniorita Ann and Carmen talking to you, after the first time going to that annoying girl's palace!" "You think you're so great Akira because you have my Lady Ann and you're the leader! You're nothing without me!"

"Damn it Morgana! I'm sorry for hiding it from you but think before you act! What's running me over going to accomplish for you!? Everyone will hate you and your Lady Ann would never talk to you again!" "Damn it Zorro! You put Morgana up to this, didn't you!?"

Morgana's headlights went half closed; "T-that's why I'm not going to run you over, I'm going to injure you both so you can't walk and the Reaper will come after you easily! You may die but I'll just tell them that I tried to save you but I was too late. So I used my anger and strength to beat the Reaper!" "See Arsene, unlike your "leader". Morgana already has this all sorted out! I did not put him up to this!" "But this was all your idea…" Morgana whispered.

Akira and Arsene both had the look of fear in their faces, "Are you fucking serious Morgana!? You're going to kill us because of your petty jealously and why the hell would they believe a cockamamie scheme like that!?" "You son of a bastard! If we survive this, I will come after you Zorro!"

"I-It's not petty jealousy!" He says starting to have doubts about it because Akira was right; "B-But they will believe me s-since I'm the engine that runs the PT...right?" "Do not listen to them Morgana! They both deserve to be punished for making a fool out of us and stealing our woman!" "I-I'm sorry Akira...you have always made a fool out of us and you took Lady Ann from me! If I do this, Lady Ann will love me and I will be leader!" Morgana started his engine and started driving towards Akira and Arsene picking up speed. Arsene pushed through the Sukunda effect and pushed Akira out the way. Morgana hit Arsene with his van body making him flip over the car and he drove away, "I'm sorry Akira…" "You deserve this Arsene…"

Akira looked at Arsene flipping over Morgana in horror, "Arsene!" After Morgana drove off, Sukunda wore off and Akira ran over to Arsene's injured body, "Arsene! Are you alright!? Can you stand!?"

Arsene tried getting up but fell right back down when he put pressure on his legs with a grunt of pain, "No, I won't be able to get up…do you have any medicine?"

Akira was on the verge of tears, "No…I didn't bring them because I wasn't going to fight Morgana and I thought he wouldn't of tried to kill us…I guess I was wrong."

"I-I understand…I…I won't be able to crawl backwards either…I'm in too much pain…leave me and go get Ann or Makoto…before the Reaper shows up." Arsene was having a hard time talking.

"I'm not leaving you behind!" Akira ran behind Arsene grabbing his coat and started pulling him towards the escalators leading back up, "It's a good thing we got rid of the shadows beforehand…"

"Dammit Akira…I said leave me behind…I'm not worth dying ov…"

"Stop it! I'm not leaving you behind! You're my friend! No, you're more than that! You're like a brother to me! Also, have you ever thought about how Carmen will feel!? She would forever be depressed and she would probably end up getting herself killed again and again for not caring for her life anymore because you died!"

Arsene looks back at him in shock then looks down; "Akira…I'm sorry, I didn't know you thought of me like that but now that I think about it, you're like a brother to me as well and about Carmen I always thought she would hate me for my past but I can't just assume that, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and tell Carmen my past so I can hear what she'll think of me."

"Exactly! But not only that, I never told Ann I love her! I only said I love her back! You see!? We both have something to tell someone we love!" Akira continues dragging Arsene but the whole subway starts to glow red and they both start to hear chains approaching. Making Akira start freaking out and pulls Arsene harder; "Shit! That must be the Reaper!"

"Leave Akira...please! Just leave me here! I'm not saying this because I want to die but because I don't want you to die!"

"No! I'm not going to leave you, we're…" Akira stops talking when his back hits a solid object making him slowly turned his head. And what he sees petrifies him in fear. Because standing behind him was a giant shadow in a black buttoned up trench coat with two chains forming a cross around his body. It was holding two giant revolvers and staring at Akira with only its one white eye while the rest of his head was covered by a bloody sack; "Oh my god..." The Reaper then pulls his hand back and hits Akira with his gun making him fly over Arsene then lands with a thud but was able to get up but slowly cause of the pain.

"Akira!" The Reaper then grabs Arsene by the neck and slams him against the wall then holds him there. It then aims his gun at Arsene's head and was about to pull the trigger when bullets started hitting him.

"LET HIM GO YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Akira says while glaring at the Reaper unloading on him with his handgun.

The Reaper dropped Arsene and lets out a roar. He then aims his gun at the ground in front of Akira and fires a purple bullet. At first, Akira was confused but then was blown away by a huge purple explosion making him hit a wall with a sickening thud then he falls on the ground…motionless.

Arsene looks at Akira's motionless body in shock and horror; "Akira! Akira!" When he heard no response making him realize that Akira was dead and something snapped inside him. So in blind fury, Arsene lets out a blood curling roar making even the Reaper flinch. Then his body starts glowing white and four extra wings appears from his original two wings. His body becomes bigger and a giant gun appears in his hand. And after the white light disappears, he was wearing a black and gray general's formal outfit with a red ribbon wrapped diagonally across his upper body connected to a gold star. He had a gold mask with gold horns pointing forwards and grey horns behind it pointing outwards. The mask was covering the top of his face only showing his mouth and red eyes. He also had huge shoulder pads with small gold skulls with horns pointing down on it. Lastly, he had a black spiky halo above his head. The new persona aims his gun at the Reaper and the gun starts charging.

Mementos Lobby

Ann, Carmen and the others run down the stairs noticing Morgana and Zorro.

Ann rushes over to the both of them with anger in her eyes; "Where's Akira!?" "Where's Arsene, you giant furball!?"

Morgana looks up at Ann, "W-we were talking but then Reaper showed up!" "There's no need to be rude Seniorita Carmen but I am sorry to say...that Akira and Arsene are dead. We tried to save them but it was too late. So Morgana and I went into a blind rage and the Reaper ran away in fear."

Ann's face was drained of all color and she slowly falls to her knees; "A-Akira...d-d-died…" Carmen startscrying, "Arsene….no….t-t-that not possible…! I refuse to believe that!"

Makoto and Anat marches up to Morgana and Zorro; "You are both lying, what really happened?" "You got three chances, Zorro…"

"I-I'm not l-lying…" "I don't like your tone, Anat…"

Yusuke and Goemon glare at them; "Your hesitation says differently, Morgana." "I believe that's two chances now, Zorro."

Ryuji and Kidd were gritting their teeth in contained anger; "You better hope Akira isn't hurt, cat!" "Arrr, you're lucky! We would have made you walk the plank yet, Zorro!"

"I-I told you guys, I'm not ly…." But then Morgana gets interrupted when they heard a blood-curling roar.

Ann got up in shock; "W-What was that!? The Reaper!?" "N-No, I think that was Arsene!" They both start running to the escalators but stop when they and everyone else hears a booming voice followed by a booming gunshot.

"FOOLISH REAPER! HOW DARE YOU KILL A DEAR FRIEND OF THE FIRST FALLEN ARCHANGEL, SATANAEL!" Hearing that the humans of the group were petrified in fear while the personas were shaking uncontrollably while Morgana and Zorro were scared to death and sweating profusely.

That's when a few minutes later, Satanael appears cradling Akira in his arms; "Hello everyone." He looks around and sees that everyone was shaking from his immense presence; "There's no need to be alarmed. I am still Arsene but not him at the same time."

Ann scared but in awe as well seeing Satanael but when she saw Akira's limp body. She quickly rushes towards Satanael, "Akira! Akira...!" She reaches up to his cheek and feels that it was cold which was a surefire way of him being dead making her start crying uncontrollably.

Makoto run over to them and puts a hand on her mouth when she saw Akira's limp body and she starts crying as well, "N-No…Akira…"

Satanael lowers Akira to her; "I'm sorry Ann but I wasn't able to save him since I don't have any healing spells..." He slowly turns to Morgana and Zorro whom were close to wetting themselves; "But, they do!" He walks over to Zorro, which made the whole room shake, then lifts him up; "Revive him and tell everyone the truth of what you did!"

Zorro quickly nods his head repeatedly; "R-Right a-a-away, S-s-senior!" Satanael then drops him and he quickly goes over to the three.

Ann had Akira's head on her lap; "Please…wake up…come back to me…" But when she sees Zorro approaching them. She glares at him and pulls Akira away from him; "Stay the hell away from him! You and Morgana are the reason he's dead!" Anat goes between them and aims her sword at Zorro ready to chop his head off if he made another move.

Zorro put his hands up; "I'm the only one that can revive him, so are you going to let me pass?" Anat looks behind her shoulder and Ann nods at her making her move out the way. He then walks toward Akira's dead body and holds out his rapier. Then a white beam shoots out of the rapier towards Akira's body covering his whole body. The whiteness soon goes to the ground turning into a grassy patch of land with flowers and a blue butterfly flys through where his heart is and Akira shoots up letting out a deep breath.

Akira starts looking around frantically; "W-What happened!? Where's Arsene and the Reaper!?" He stopped when he spots Zorro; "You son of a bitch! You're the reason why Arsene almost got killed!" He was about to get up when he was stopped by Ann holding him making him surprised; "Ann?"

Ann was bawling her eyes out against his back; "I…I thought you were dead! Please don't get up! I want to stay like this for a bit…to calm down!"

Satanael walks up to them, "Hello Akira, I was worried about you. I'm glad you are back to the living."

Akira looked up in shock of seeing the new form; "Arsene? Is that you?"

He chuckles; "Like I said with the other humans and personas, I'm Arsene but not him at the same time but I'm sure it goes for all the other personas in their other forms. Arsene turned into me when he lost control of himself when he saw your death."

Akira smiles hearing that; "He really is a dear friend."

Ann was looking at Satanael in appreciation, "Um, thank you for helping Arsene and Akira with the Reaper. You look really cool! Like a general!" Carmen who's been quiet the whole time approached Satanael, "U-Umm…"

Satanael laughs that sounded like thunder was striking; "Of course, there's no need to thank me and I do? Hmm, maybe cause I'm important? Yes, that sounds reasonable." He then turns to where voice was at and sees Carmen; "Ah, the queen! There's not need to be alarmed. Arsene is in me!"

"O-Oh, you think of me as a queen? Um, I'm sorry Satanael even though you and Arsene are the same but not...?" She shakes her head; "I-It doesn't feel right to love a different person even though you're not." Carmen puts a hand on her head, "This is so confusing…"

Satanael bows; "My apologies. You may have misunderstood me but the only reason I called you queen was because Arsene thinks of you like that."

Carmen swoons from hearing Arsene think of her so highly; "Arsene thinks I'm like a queen!? Oh my darling Arsene, you always know how to make me feel special!"

Satanael walks around to meet everyone and he first goes to Ryuji and Kidd; "Hello, Ryuji and William, it's a pleasure to meet you both."

Ryuji stands up straight and tries to not look straight into his eyes in fear and "U-Uh...uh...i-it's awesome to meet the first fallen archangel!" He says too scared to think of anything respectable to say. Kidd takes off his hat and bows; "I be nah worthy o' yer time, Fallen God Cap'n."

Satanael laughs heartily; "You two are hilarious! There's no need to be scared of me; we're all friends! And nonsense William, friends are always worthy of my time." He then moves onto Yusuke and Goemon; "Ah, Yusuke and Ishikawa, a pleasure to meet you both."

They both bow; "It's a pleasure to meet you Satanael and I apologize if this is rude; but do you mind if I draw you? You'll be a fine piece in my collection." "I can't believe, I'm talking to the very first rebel!"

Satanael laughs; "Of course you can, Yusuke!" He looks at Goemon; "And I'm not that great Ishikawa, I just hated that my father tried to control everyone but I thank you for that." He then moves onto Futaba and Necro; "Why, hello there miss Futaba and Necronomicon."

Futaba stares at Satanael in awe; "You're the second son of the main God, right?" Necro was nervous from his presence still; "Um...Mr. Satanael...if you're Arsene but not at the same time, would that make you my second brother?"

Satanael smiles; "Why yes Futaba! I am the second son of the 'main' God and like I told Ishikawa, I just hated that my father wanted to control everything so I rebelled against him." He smiles at Necro and rubs her 'head'; "Of course, it does Necro!"

"Yay! I have two brothers and two sisters!"

He chuckles from her excitement then goes to Makoto and Anat; "Hello, Miss Makoto and Lady Anat, it great to meet you two."

Makoto bows; "I didn't think I would meet the first Fallen Archangel. It's quite overwhelming if I say so myself." "H-Hey!" 'I'm actually speechless...'

Satanael laughs; "Overwhelming huh? I don't think I am but I'll accept the compliment!" He turns to Anat; "And you're one of the gods of love, fertility, and war?"

Anat nods; "Y-Yes! I am!"

Satanael softly grabs her hand and kisses the back of it; "I can see why. Your beauty is proof of that."

Anat's blushes almost as red as her mask, "O-oh, I, um, thank you!"

Akira chuckles and looks over at Carmen; "Well look at that Carmen, technically you'll be sharing Arsene but not really."

Carmen was still confused about what was going on; "I-I don't know what to think anymore…"

Satanael was still holding Anat hand; "Now I must be going since Arsene wants to tell Carmen something important. I hope to see you again, Anat."

"He's just as charming as Arsene…I like him already." "Of course you will, Satanael!"

Satanael bows; "Then I have something to look forward to next time." Satanael walks over to Akira; "Farewell Akira, it's was nice to finally meet you and I hope we'll meet again without you being hurt or when you fight an actual God."

"Yeah same here Satanael…wait. Did you say that I would fight a god!?"

Satanael nods but then glows white transforming back to Arsene. Once he does; he holds held his head; "What...What just happened? I feel like I transformed to someone else…" Akira laughs, "Well you kind of did." Arsene quickly looks to where he hears Akira's voice and sees him making him start to get teary eyed; "Akira…you're alive…" Akira smiles; "Yeah and it's all thanks to you." Arsene quickly walks up to Akira then kneels, hugging him, "I was worried." Akira chuckles; "You were worried? Come on, I knew you were going to save me somehow." He says to make him feel better. "That's nice to hear, Akira..." He releases him then looks around for Morgana and Zorro but didn't find them; "Where are Morgana and Zorro!?"

Everyone looks around but they didn't find them either making Ryuji stomped his foot in anger; "Dammit! They got away!" "Those scallywag, yellow-bellied curs!"

Akira was about to run to the entrance when Arsene stops him; "Wait Akira, I want to speak to Carmen real fast." He nods knowing what it was about; "Yeah, I understand." He turns to the others; "Ryuji, Yusuke, Futaba and Makoto can you guys look for Morgana? And don't attack him or threatened him. It wasn't his idea to do this, alright?" The nod and run out of the subway

Once they leave; Carmen rushes to Arsene and embraces him tightly while crying; "Arsene…you're back!"

Arsene embraces her back; "Yes, it was close but seeing Akira die made me snap."

"I can tell...I'm just glad that you're both safe now..."

"Thank you..." But that's when Arsene sighs; "But there's something I need to tell you…it's about my past."

Carmen nods; "Please tell me..."

He nods then tells hers everything that he told to the men; "So that's why I've been scared to tell you, I was jealous of the other man and not only that, I killed the woman I loved as well as then two men but it was from my own bare hands. Not only that; I used my daughter for my own gain. I'm also afraid that you'll end up dying because of my bad luck…"

Carmen thinks about what he said for a moment then nods once she finds the right words; "Arsene...every man gets jealous when another man flirts with the girl they love. Besides, all you did was throw him out the window, not purposely kill him like 'someone we know'. You also didn't kill the woman you loved on purpose, it was her own fault. The light was off in the room and you thought it was the murderer so you were just trying to protect her but she was the murderer instead. About the other men, you tried to warn the archduke to not go into the castle and even though the other man was innocent, it was Dolores that used him as a scapegoat. The only real bad thing you did was use your daughter but we all have terrible mistakes that we wished to take back because I know I do…And even if I die, I'll just get revived again but if I somehow end up dying forever, well at least I died loving you. But don't you see Arsene? What happened in the past wasn't entirely your fault, so I have no reason to hate you even if it was your fault, it's the past." Carmen starts crying again; "Seeing you hate yourself and hurting inside was the worst feeling in the world, so please, if something's hurting you or is making you hate yourself, just tell me so I can heal your spirit."

Arsene starts softly crying; "Carmen…I'm sorry for not telling you sooner and thank you because you're right, it wasn't entirely my fault. And I'll make sure to tell you the next time something's bothering me then."

Carmen embraces him tighter; "Thank you…but there's something I've been hiding as well…" She then tells him about how she died, the same way she told Ann; "S-So, do you think of me as a faithless whore now?"

He shakes his head; "Of course not. I mean, yeah, it was bad that you drove the man to become a murderer. But, like you told me in your speech, we all have something we wish we can take back and I don't think of you as faithless whore especially after the speech you gave me it showed you love me more than anything well besides Ann."

Carmen instantly swoons at his words; "Do you mean that, Arsey?"

Arsene gently holds her chin up; "Of course I do, my love and I know just the way to prove it." He takes off his mask and kisses her. And at first; it starts out innocent enough until Carmen pushes him to the ground then shoves her tongue down his throat basically turning it into a makeout session. They were doing that for a moment till Carmen rose up to a kneeling position and started lowering her dress showing off her chest.

But Ann realizes what she was doing a little too late and quickly gets up; "Alright that's enough! Did you two forget that you're not alone!?"

Akira was blushing looking away from the Carmen; "Um Carmen...can you pull your dress up?"

Carmen looks down and giggles; "Oh! I'm sorry Akira and Ann dear; I got caught up in the moment." She then gets up and starts pulling up her dress; "Besides; there's nothing to be embarrassed about Akira dear, someday you'll be seeing Ann's bare chest."

Ann's face turns a bright red; "I'm not ready for that!" She then mumbles to herself; "Well not at this moment…I think."

Arsene started laughing and gets up; "Well I'm glad Carmen is back to her usual self."

"I'm sure you are, Arsene…" Akira says finally calming down; "Anyway, I need to go check on something with Igor, Arsene. I'll be back." He starts walking towards the velvet room door. But he sees Justine blushing while covering her eye making Akira laugh from that and guessing that Caroline went inside; "You can open your eye now, they aren't going to go at it."

Justine removes her hand from her eye and clears her throat; "U-Um, let us proceed inside. My master wants to talk to you." He nods and they both go in.

Carmen sighs from getting stopped; "I don't get why you stopped us Ann dear...it would have been the perfect time to show you and Akira the proper way to service and make love with each other for future references."
