It was daytime, and Octavia had woken him up after what happened in the palace and waking up his Persona, Freya.But she saw that she was not in her room, but again in the Velvet room .
Igor: We meet again
Song: Aria of the Soul
Octavia saw that Igor and Lavenza were waiting for her
Octavia: Oh, you guys again.
Lavenza: We saw that you have finally awakened your Persona
Surprised Octavia: How do you know about my Persona?
Igor: My former assistants and I, by order of my teacher Philemon, helped several young Persona users, the first being high school students in Japan in 1996 (in that year the events of Persona 1, also known as Revelations: Persona)
Octavia: 1996?That was over 20 years ago
Igor: In the coming months, your power will be put to the test, moreover, you are the key for a prisoner of the room to successfully complete his rehabilitation.
Octavia: What kind of test...wait!How rehab?Who is that prisoner?
Lavenza: In due time you will know.
Igor: Good luck
Octavia: No, wait
Igor snapped his fingers and Octavia woke up in her room.
Octavia: That place again... what kind of test will it be, and who is that prisoner?
Octavia was so lost in thought that she didn't hear her parents arguing until she heard a vase break.
Octavia: It can't be, they're arguing again.But soon that will end when we steal his treasure
Then Octavia receives a message from Akechi
Octavia and Akechi chat
Akechi: Good morning Octavia, I have thought that it would be good to meet in the library to organize our plans. Is that okay with you?
Octavia: I have to ask my parents for permission to go out, if not, we'll talk here.
Akechi: Ok, until then
Octavia went up the stairs and went down to where her parents were.
Octavia: Good morning.
Stella: Good morning, Octavia.
Stolas: Good morning daughter
Octavia: Mom, Dad, could you go to the library today?
Stella: We'll let you out on one condition, if you have a gun with you.
Octavia: Fine.
Octavia goes up to her room and comes down with the spear she got in the palace
Stolas: Where did you get that spear?
Octavia: Ah... internet
Stolas: And where did you get the internet from?
Octavia: Ahh ...
Ok no take 2
Stolas: Where did you get that spear?
Octavia: It was in a closet saved
Stolas: Ok then have fun
Stella: Wait, why do you want to go to the library?
Octavia: I want to investigate that boy we met
Stolas and Stella: What?!
Octavia: I'm curious about that ability called Persona, maybe I can have one and use it to defend us
Stolas: I see, well see you
Octavia: Goodbye.
Stella was thoughtful by what Octavia said
Stella: An ability called Persona?Why does it sound familiar?
Octavia left her house, heading for the library
Meanwhile, Akechi arrived at the library
Akechi: What was that dream?
Flashback
Akechi returned to the abandoned apartment after dating Octavia from Mementos, went to bed and suddenly woke up in a different room
Akechi scared: Wh...where am I?!
Igor: You already woke up
Akechi: ¿Eh?
Song: Ariaof the Soul
Akechi saw Igor and Lavenza, but he also saw that he himself had prisoner clothes,and that he had what he looked like when he was alive .
Akechi: Why am I human again?!Why am I dressed like this?!Persona
Akechi summons Loki, but Igor snaps his fingers and Loki just floats there without attacking.
Akechi: What the fuck?!
Lavenza: Listen to me, now you are a prisoner seeking rehabilitation.
Akechi: Rehabilitation?
Ígor: When you were alive you did horrible things to take revenge on the man who ruined your life and caused your mother's death, including betraying your first friend, and unable to bear the guilt, by suicide you escaped like a coward, or was I wrong? ?
Akechi could only clench his fists and look sadly at the ground, accepting that this was true.Then he collapsed on the ground
Sad Akechi: It's true, I'm really sorry, I've caused a lot of suffering to innocent people... I'm sorry
Lavenza: You can't change the past anymore, that's why you're here.
Akechi: ¿Eh?
Igor: My master, Philemon saw all that you suffered and how you ended up being convinced by Jaldabaoth to cause evil.So after you killed yourself, he decided to give you a chance to make amends for all the wrong you did.For a time you will be tested and depending on your conduct, you will redeem yourself.
Lavenza: Not only that, before you couldn't use the Joker's ability to its fullest because you had no human relations, only with the Trickster
Then Akechi remembers what Futaba said in Shido's palace
Flashback
Oracle: You were only able to Summon two Personas, Robin Hood for your lies, and Loki for your hate
end of flashback
Ígor: However, as you successfully progress through your rehabilitation, you will be able to strengthen your relationships and gain more than one Persona.You have already formed your first bond with someone you just met, and that someone will be the key to successfully achieving your rehabilitation
Akechi: Someone I just met?Are they talking about...
Igor: It's time for you to go.We will see us again
Akechi: No, wait
Igor snapped his fingers and soon,Akechiwoke up and saw that he was in the room where he was.
Akechi: What was that?
Present
Octavia: Akechiiii
Akechi: Octavia.
Octavia: Are you ready to organize our strategy?
Akachi: Yes
Octavia grabbed Akechi's claw, which caused him to blush slightly and they both went to a table so they could talk.
Octavia: Well then, how are we going to steal my parents' treasure?
Akechi: Very well, first of all you should know that a palace is a manifestation of the darkest desires and thoughts of the people, to find the treasure room we must investigate the entire palace until we find it.
Octavia: And how is the treasure?
Akechi: The treasure depends on the owner of the palace, originally it is a white sphere, but once it materializes, it will take on a shape
Octavia: And how does it materialize?
Akechi: The person whose treasure we are going to steal, must receive a warning that his treasure will be stolen, when he feels threatened, the treasure will materialize, but the effect lasts only one day
Octavia in her mind: It seems that Akechi was in a palace before, I'll ask him after stealing my parents' treasure
Akechi in his mind: He thought that Octavia is beginning to suspect that I was in palaces
Akechi: It is best to go well prepared, we will train fighting the shadows in the palace, and then we will explore it
Octavia: Fine.
Octavia and Akechi leave the library,but are robbed .
Thief: Give me your valuables
Akechi: You think so...
Octavia: Persona
Octavia summons Freya, which scares the assailant.
Thief: What is that thing?
Octavia: Freya, agárralo
Freya obeyed and caught the thief
Scared Thief: Please let me go
Octavia: Only if you don't come back.rob anyone
Scared Thief: Okay...okay
Freya lets go of the thief and he runs away
Akechi: Why didn't you kill him?With the enemy there is no need to have mercy
Octavia: Not everyone deserves to die.
Akechi: If you meet a child abductor, would you kill him or send him to jail so that after a while he will be released and commit misdeeds again?
Octavia was hesitating which answer to take, until something occurred to her.
Octavia: I would steal that criminal's treasure so he would confess his crimes and let the guilt haunt him for the rest of his days.
Akechi was surprised by Octavia's response.
Akachi: Why?
Octavia: Death is just a quick way out instead, making him feel sorry for his crimes knowing he can never right them is a better punishment.Unless the authorities run it
Akechi felt intrigued by that answer knowing that this is not his method
Akechi: Well...ah, before we go to the palace we'll need firearms to defend ourselves, they don't need to be real
Octavia: What?Why?
Akechi: You'll see it there
Octavia: Well I have a friend who can give us weapons, come
Octavia grabs Akechi's claw and leads him to a safe place.
