Chapter 2
„Choice"
[ Tatsumi Port Island Hospital July 30 - 2009]
Ren groaned as he was trying to open his eyes. Slowly letting them open, Ren felt a painful flash of light.
„Oh, I think he's waking up." -Said a female voice.
„Thought it's gonna take him longer to wake up." -This time, it was a male voice.
„Not a bad for a kid, right?" -This one was also male, but somehow muffled.
„You can't get out, you know. The nurse is gonna kick us out." -Female voice said with a sigh."Anyway, let's wait a little bit longer. It's hard to tell how tired he must be."
Finally ready, Ren fully opened his eyes. He was confused as to where he was right now. The first thing he saw was the white ceiling. Looking to his left, he saw a large open window with a curtain moving up and down. He realized that he was in a bed after a moment. Then, he noticed that he wasn't alone. At first, he thought that he was imagining things, but that wasn't the case.
The first person he saw was a woman. She had long red hair that was covering her left eye and brown eyes. She was also wearing a white sleeveless turtleneck shirt and black pants. Sitting on a chair next to the bed, she was observing Ren's movements.
Next was a young man. He had short silver hair, gray eyes, and wore a white band-aid above his left eye. He was wearing a red v-neck t-shirt and white pants. Leaning on a wall next to the doors, he was also observing Ren's movements.
„Rise and shine. Glad to see you awake so soon." -The man with white hair said.
„Good morning. Before you start asking questions, please let us introduce ourselves. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo." -Mitsuru introduced herself with a smile."It's nice to meet you."
„Name's Akihiko Sanada. Nice to meet you as well." -Akihiko said with a small smile."You're Ren Amamiya, right?"
„Yes, Sir. It's a pleasure to meet you." -Ren bowed slightly, making them both chuckle.
„Don't call me that. I'm still in high school, you know." -Akihiko said embarrassed."Anyway, We wanted to talk to you."
„That's right. What's the last thing you remember, Ren-kun?" -Mitsuru asked, making Ren look at her. A sudden realization hit Ren.
„Where is Akechi?! What happened to Koromaru?!" -Ren panicked while looking around.
„Easy there, they're both okay." -Akihiko assured with a calm voice. Ren looked at him and let out a sigh."Now, let us ask again. What's the last thing you remember?"
„…You're not going to believe me." -Ren said dejectedly. There was no way anyone would believe that monsters attacked them. Or that they're saved a cat-like thing. Speaking of, where did he go?
„There is no way they wouldn't believe you." -It was the third voice that he heard before. Ren stared in surprise at the cat popping out of Mitsuru's bag. It was the same cat that they saw with Akechi."Glad to see you're okay."
„Um…You're hearing this, right?" -Ren asked bewildered.
„Yup, talking cat." -Akihiko agreed, causing Mitsuru to sigh.
„I AM NOT A CAT! I'M MORGANA!" -Morgana snapped at Akihiko.
„That's enough, you two!" -Mitsuru scolded the two. Letting a tired sigh, she nursed her temple."Whatever you saw and did last night was real. Morgana and your awakening are the proof of it."
„What exactly happened? What were those things? And that power… Persona, right?" -Ren was full of questions. He wanted to know what happened to him last night. Why were he and his friends attacked?
„That might take a while, but We'll explain everything." -Mitsuru promised."Before that, I need to ask you something. It's about your… scars." -Ren looked away. He really didn't want to talk about them.
Despite its name, the „Sunflower" wasn't your normal Orphanage. While everything appeared to be normal on the outside, it was the complete opposite on the inside. The Caretakers didn't really care about the orphans. They were always forced to do their jobs, even if a kid was sick. They even hurt a kid for making a small mistake. But because these kids were too scared to tell about this to anyone, they were continuously accepting the punishments. Ren was one of these kids as well.
„Judging by your expression, I guess it's true." -Akihiko said, looking at him with sympathy."Here I thought that those were just rumors. 'Sunflower' is a disgrace to the previous orphanage."
„Were you…an orphan, Akihiko-san?" -Ren asked carefully.
„Yeah. That was before a fire destroyed the orphanage." -Akihiko explained bitterly."It's the past, so let's focus on the present."
„He's right, you know." -Morgana agreed."We should discuss what's going to happen with you now."
„To me…?" -He said quietly.
„Well, We can't let you stay in there." -Mitsuru said while crossing her arms."Matter of fact, all children cannot remain there. I have some contacts that help us in that."
„But you need to tell them everything." -Akihiko added."Don't hide anything. That way you can help other kids in there."
„Can I… Can I see my friend?" -Ren asked, clenching into his coverlet. Mitsuru and Akihiko looked at each other and back at Ren."You said that he's alright."
„Well, yeah, but-" -Morgana was cut by Mitsuru.
„Sure thing. I'll call the nurse." -Mitsuru said, while Akihiko went to grab a wheelchair. After doing a check-in, Ren was allowed to leave the hospital room. Morgana quickly hid in Mitsurus's bag again.
A few minutes later, they reached Akechi's room. Ren couldn't wait to see his friend again. Despite being told that Akechi was fine, he couldn't stop worrying. He winced at the memory of him hitting the wall.
As Mitsuru opened the doors, Ren felt a wave of fresh air coming from the window. It helped him get rid of the smell that hospitals usually had. He immediately smiled, seeing his friend sitting on the bed while looking out through the window. Akechi was surprised at the sudden sound of doors being open. He turned his gaze and saw Ren, Akihiko, and Mitsuru entering the room.
„Akechi! I'm so glad that you're okay!" -Ren exclaimed with a grin."I really thought that you died or something." -He saw that Akechi was wearing bandages around his head."Ah, I guess you did it the wall pretty hard, huh?" -Akechi stared at him, puzzled.
„Um…Sorry…" -Akechi apologized, confusing Ren."But, do I know you?"
Ren blinked in surprise as Mitsuru and Akihiko were watching in silence. They couldn't help but feel a little sad for the two.
„What…? What do you mean? It's me, Ren!" -Ren said with worry. Akechi simply looks at him in confusion." Don't tell me…"
„I'm really sorry. But I only remember my name." -Akechi apologized with a sad look."The doctor said that I lost my memory due to an accident. I'm truly sorry that I don't remember you. You seem like a good friend." -Ren dropped his head after hearing that.
„It's alright…" -He was on the verge of tears."I'm sorry that I have bothered you…"
„Please, don't apologize. I'm very thankful for your concern." -Akechi said with a sad smile.
Ren was trying his best to stop himself from crying. Akihiko placed his hand on Ren's shoulder, while Mitsuru glanced at Akechi. He truly didn't remember anything. It was written all over his face. Suddenly, a doctor and a nurse came in.
„I'm sorry, but We need to do some check-in on Goro-kun." -Nurse said, and Mitsuru nodded.
Finally getting a hold of his emotions, Ren looked at Akechi one more time. Akechi returns the look, but it still wasn't what Ren was looking for. His friend was gone, figuratively speaking. There was nothing that could change that now.
After a few minutes, Ren was able to calm down. He was back in his hospital room with Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Morgana.
„We're sorry that We haven't mentioned that before." -Mitsuru said in a gentle tone. Ren was wiping the last of his tears as Akihiko offered him a tissue.
„It's okay…I'm not angry at you." -Ren said with a tired voice."When I'm being released?"
„Well, you seem to be fine. You could be discharged today." -Mitsuru replied."But the question is do you want to go back?"
„Where else am I suppose to go?" -Ren asked dejectedly."Even if I tell police about the abuse, I still have nowhere else to go."
„You might if you want to." -Mitsuru said with a smile."Would you like to go with us?"
„What? Go where?" -Ren asked.
„Iwatodai Dormitory. It's located near Naganaki Shrine." -Mitsuru explained."It's a place where people like you live."
„You mean… people who can use a persona?" -Ren asked, and Mitsuru nodded."Why? What is it that you do?"
„We're the same as you. To make it short, We're investigating the Dark Hour to get rid of it." -Akihiko explained.
„What's the Dark Hour?" -Ren asked.
„The Dark Hour occurs for an hour every night as a time anomaly that takes place during 12:00 AM, and serves as the 25th hour hidden between one day and the next." Mitsuru said, pointing her finger at the clock hanging on the wall."That's when the shadows emerge. The same monsters that attacked you last night."
„So you're fighting against them? How come that other people don't know about it?" -Ren asked, his curiosity taking over." I mean, there plenty of adults who work at that time too, right?"
„True, which is why normal people hide in coffins." -Mitsuru explained. Morgana jumped on Ren's bed, much to Mitsuru's annoyance.
„They're obliviously "playing dead" to protect themselves from the attention of the Shadows." -Morgana said." Occasionally, a human will not transmogrify in this manner, and will quickly become prey of the Shadows, having their minds devoured and becoming vegetative."
„Have you heard about Apathy Syndrome?" -Akihiko asked, and Ren nodded. Whenever he was coming back from school with Akechi, they saw some people looking sick."They're like this because of the shadows attack." Only those with Personas, even if they can't be successfully summoned, are immune to this effect and function normally during the Dark Hour."
„So that why…wait! But Akechi was also able to function!" -Ren realized."Does that mean he has a persona too?"
„He might have a potential, yes, but in his current state…" -Akihiko trailed, and Ren nodded."Listen, normally, We would do this, but We'd like you to join us."
„You're only saying that because of what I said." -Morgana snorted.
„I know how this might look to you, but the stakes are high." -Mitsuru said seriously."I wouldn't ask you of this if it wasn't important."
„So you want my help?" -Ren asked, and Mitsuru nodded."Morgana, I know their reason for being here, but what about you?"
„Well…You can say that I'm like your friend, Akechi." -Morgana said, his tone filled with sadness."I don't know where I come from or what I am. I don't really remember anything about my past. But I do know that I'm meant to find someone." -He looked at Ren."I've been here for the past couple of weeks, trying to find that person. Eventually, I saw you. Though I wasn't sure if you're that person, I knew that I have to look after you. Strange, isn't it?"
„Yeah, I guess." -Ren agreed while scratching the back of his head. He looked at Mitsuru and Akihiko."The reason why you're doing this is that you want to save people from falling victims to Apathy Syndrome."
„Basically, yes." -Akihiko said, and Mitsuru nodded.
„Then…Count me in." -Ren said seriously."If this continues, more people will suffer. More people might end almost like Akechi. I don't want that… So, please let me join you! I promise not to slow you down."
„Hmm, if you're joining, then I guess you can count in me as well." -Morgana said while turning his head to look at Mitsuru and Akihiko.
„I see… I'm glad that this is your choice." -Mitsuru said."But remember; this is a dangerous mission. You'll have to risk your life every time you fight shadows. Are you sure you're ready for this?"
„Well… I don't have much else to lose at this point." -Ren said seriously. While they were impressed with his confidence, they're also worried about his response. They'd have to talk with him later.
„Well, I guess now We have to convince the rest." -Akihiko said with a sigh."I can think of two people who will be against it."
„Alright then, I'll go and get everything ready for Ren-kun to move in." -Mitsuru said and got up."I'm sorry Morgana, but you have to come with me. You can't stay in here."
„Oh, fine…" -Morgana groaned with annoyance. Opening her bag, Mitsuru allowed Morgana to jump in and hide. But before leaving, Morgana's head pops out."See you later, Ren."
„I'll stick around a little longer." -Akihiko said, and Mitsuru nodded. Once Mitsuru left, Akihiko decided to sit down next to Ren."Pretty hard decision to make a spot, huh?"
„Yeah, but I made up my mind." -Ren said with shrug."I awaken to that power for a reason, right? I couldn't be possibly an accident."
„Maybe, maybe not." -Akihiko said while looking at his hand."But remember this… Your decision right now will have an impact on your future. There will be no going back. You still want to do this?"
„Yes. My friend almost lost his life due to those monsters." -Ren clenched his fist."He risked his life to protect me as well. Now, he doesn't even remember me… I want to get back at those monsters for what they did. As well as for what they doing to Innocent people!"
„Now that's the answer I was looking for." -Akihiko said with a smirk."Now, don't forget that feeling. It'll motivate you when you need it." -Ren nodded.
„So… When can I move in?" -Ren asked, and Akihiko chuckled.
„Knowing Mitsuru, everything will be ready by the evening." -Akihiko replied with a smile.
„Does that I'm getting adopted by you?" -Ren asked, and Akihiko laughed.
„I don't really know. The Chairman will be probably taking custody over you." -Akihiko said with a shrug.
„Chairman? Who's that?" -Ren asked.
„He is Director of Gekkoukan High School as well as adviser to the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad." -Akihiko explained."SEES for shorts."
„How big is the team?" -Ren shot another question. Akihiko smiled.
„With You, Morgana, and Koromaru… ten members." -Akihiko chuckled at Ren's surprised expression.
„Wait! Koromaru? Don't tell me he can use persona too." -Ren was shocked. When did Koromaru awaken to his persona?
„It seems highly likely considering that he was operating during the Dark Hour." -Akihiko said with a smile."Even animals can be affected by the shadows. There are cases of Apathy Syndrome among animals, but they're only a few of them compare to humans."
„I see…" -Ren said, still shocked. He was wondering hos his life going to look like from now on.
[Iwatodai Dormitory, evening – the same day]
„I wonder what's this meeting about." -Yukari said with a sigh. She wanted to rest after their last visit to Tartarus.
„Yeah, I kinda agree with you, Yuka-tan." -Jumpei said with a nod. He was really looking forward to a good night's sleep."Man, I'm so tired…"
„I'm sure that the Chairman has something important to say." -Fuuka said, trying her best to not show any sign of fatigue. Despite being only the navigator, Fuuka was still getting tired from prolonged exposure to the Tartarus."Right, Aigis?"
„Indeed. The Chairman wouldn't have summoned us without a good reason." -She replied in monotone. Despite her almost human appearance, Aigis was still an android.
„If I hear another of his puns, then I swear to god…" -Shinjiro said with annoyance. He already had plans for the evenings, but because of the meeting, he was forced to cancel them.
„It is important. We're getting a team member." -Akihiko said with a smile.
„Ah, you mean Morgana, right? I still find it hard to believe that he's a talking cat." -Fuuka said with a giggle.
„Not just him." -Mitsuru said while brushing a strand of her hair.
„You're talking about Koro-chan?" -Fuuka asked.
„Yes, he's joining as well. But I'm talking about someone you don't know yet." -Mitsuru explained.
„For real? We're getting three new members." -Junpei said with a big grin."If We keep this, then one We're going to have an army!"
„I hope that day never comes…" -Yukari said tiredly. Suddenly, everyone heard doors being open."Speaking of…!"
Everyone, besides Akihiko and Mitsuru, was shocked to see a Kid walk in with the Chairman.
„Good, you're all here." -Ikutsuki said with a smile. He glanced at the Kid next to him."This is Ren Amamiya. He'll be joining us from today on."
„What the hell? Why is there a kid in here?" -Yukari demanded."Don't tell me he's the new member?!"
„Hey, Chairman… Are you out of your mind?!" -Shinjiro snapped."We all know how dangerous our mission is! This isn't a place for a brat!" -He looked at Akihiko. Why would they tell the kid the truth?
„Now, Now, there is no need to be angry." -Ikutsuki said with a small smile."After all, it's Amamiya-kun choice."
„Ikutsuki-san is right." -Ren agreed."It's my choice to join the SEES."
„Ren-kun, you do know what are you signing up for?" -Yukari asked, and was surprised at Ren's expression.
„I know. I'm aware of the danger." -Ren said seriously."My friend was lucky to survive the encounter with the shadows. He wanted to protect me, while I froze in place. Now, my friend is not only moving away but also doesn't remember me anymore. I can't just sit down and accept it. Those monsters are hurting people, causing Apathy Syndrome. I gained this power for a reason. I want to help you, however, I can."
„Well, the Brat got balls." -Shinjiro said, half-impressed."But still, that doesn't mean he can just waltz into the battlefield."
„Which is why He and Koromaru will go through boot camp." -Akihiko said with a smirk. Koromaru, who was patiently sitting next to Fuuka, whined at the thought of harsh training."I hope you'll lend a hand, Shinjiro."
„Glad to have you aboard, Ren." -Junpei said with a big grin. Yukari couldn't contain her anger anymore.
„Gosh! You're all unbelievable!" -Yukari snapped."He's a KID! How are you allowing him to join our team?!" -Yukari got up and started walking toward the doors. She paused and looked at Ren."Listen, I have nothing against you. But this isn't a place for a kid… I'm sorry." -With those last words, Yukari left the room.
„Don't worry, Amamiya-kun. I'm sure Yukari-san will come along eventually." -Ikutsuki said with a kind smile."Anyway, I'm sure you will get along with everybody just fine."
The only person who wasn't taking part in the conversation was Minato Arisato. He's very introverted, distant, and aloof since he only observes the conversations of his party members and only speaks when someone is directed at him for his opinion on the matter. Minato was observing the newest member of the team. Though he didn't know why there was something familiar about him. As if he was like him in some way.
„Now then, I'd like to have another meeting regarding our other new member." -Ikutsuki clapped his hands."Has anyone seen Morgana?"
„I'm here!" -Morgana announced himself by jumping on the table. Everyone almost jumps in surprise.
„Dammit! Where did you come from?!" -Jumpei exclaimed."Don't go and jumpscare us like that!"
„It's your fault for not paying attention." -Morgana said smugly."I've been in this room the entire time."
„Moving on…" -Mitsuru said with a tired sigh."There are a few things We'd like to ask you."
„Well, go ahead. Just nothing about my past. As I said, I don't remember." -Morgana reminded.
„Oh! Me, me! I have a question!" -Junpei raised his hand like an elementary student."What can you tell us about Personas? You have one yourself, right?"
„Yeah, I have. But I want to know what you do know about them." -Morgana said, causing Junpei to sigh.
„Ugh, it's the power that a few can awaken to. It's the only thing that let us fight the shadows." -Junpei said, and Morgana nodded.
„Heh, so that the only thing you know." -Morgana chuckled."Knew you're amateurs."
„What was that?!" -Junpei was ready to jump at Morgana, but Mitsuru gave him a look.
„Moving on. I bet you don't know that Personas are actually Shadows themselves." -Morgana snickered when he saw how everyone was surprised."Surprised, eh? A Persona is similar to a Shadow. While Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained."
„This is something new…" -Fuuka said in awe.
„Indeed… So, basically, We are fighting fire with fire." -Mitsuru deduced.
„Something like that." -Morgana agreed.
„An important piece of information. Allow me to ask you the next question." -Ikutsuki said."What do you know about the Dark Hour? Perhaps you know something that We don't."
„Well…" -He glanced at everyone in the room."I think I have to explain something first beforehand."
„By all means." -Mitsuru said.
„Alright, then. The Dark hour is part of something much greater." -Morgana started."Some of you may know about the concept of parallel worlds. That's the case with the Metaverse."
„Metaverse? What's that got to do with the Dark Hour?" -Fuuka asked, her interest peaked.
„I'm getting to that." -Morgana let out a sigh."The Metaverse is a world shaped by people's cognitive distorted thoughts and emotions. It is split into palaces, each belonging to one person and ruled by that person's Shadow, the collection of the thoughts that the real person has suppressed inside of them. Though, that only happens to people with the most twisted distortions." -He paused to take a deep breath."General public shares one giant palace. It's called Mementos and it is the very core of the Metaverse."
„I see… Yeah, I don't get it." -Junpei said dejectedly."Cogni- what now?"
„Jeez, fine!" -Morgana let out another sigh." Cognition refers to the concept of humans perceiving the world and viewing what they see as reality. When enough humans collectively perceive something that concept becomes "real," influencing both the world and themselves." -Junpei slowly nodded."Now let's get to the Dark Hour. From what I was able to find out, there must have some catalysts that caused the Dark Hour. Basically, it tore a fabric of reality between two worlds. Fortunately, it wasn't that big to affect the reality for good. If I had to compare it to something… It's like making a minuscule hole in a dam." -Everyone looked at him puzzled."I know! It's not the best comparison. Anyway, it's not big enough to break the dam, but it will still leak the 'water' on the other side. But that leak cannot fully affect the other side. I believe that's the reason why the Dark Hour only lasts an hour."
„The catalyst that caused the Dark Hour rest solely on Kirijo Group." -Mitsuru admitted bitterly." Kirijo Group did several experiments dealing with Shadows, which eventually caused a huge explosion that gave birth to the Dark Hour." -No one said a word for a while.
„This is quite a lot of new information." -Fuuka said out loud, taken by what he just heard.
„Can't blame you if you don't understand it all for the first time." -Morgana, and everyone silently agreed.
„I have a question." -Ikutsuki said."Is it possible to enter this ''Metaverse''?"
„I tried, but it's impossible." -Morgana replied while shaking his head."Probably due to the Dark Hour effect on reality."
„Morgana, you seem to know a lot about the Metaverse." -Mitsuru said."Since the Dark Hour is part of it, do you have any idea how could We get rid of it?"
„I'm not entirely sure." -Morgana admitted."But when I was investigating… Um, what did you call it? Ah, Tartarus! When I was investigating Tartarus, I did sense something coming from the top of it. It could be Tartarus treasure."
„A treasure? What do you mean by that?" -Minato suddenly asked, startling everyone.
„Oh, it's a physical representation of the Palace owner's wicked desires or negative emotions, which is the root behind the owner's distortions." -Morgana explained."I'm not sure if it's the treasure. But I know that there is something up there."
„Well, We're planning on going to the top anyway." -Akihiko said with a shrug."I guess now there is more reason to do that."
„I guess We still have to deal with strong Shadows during a full moon." -Fuuka said with a worried voice.
„Hm? What do you mean by that?" -Morgana asked.
„After the accident that gave birth to the Dark Hour, a mass of Shadows split into twelve powerful shadows." -Ikutsuki explained."We believe that once We destroy them, everything will return to normal."
„Is that so? Hm… Perhaps, but if I were you, I would try to focus on trying to find a way to seal the breach." -Morgana said.
„Still, We don't know how to do that." -Mitsuru said. Everyone was tensed up."The only clue We have is what you're sensing on top of the Tartarus."
„Let's not worry about it for now." -Ikutsuki said, trying to calm everyone."Morgana, You have no idea how thankful We are for the information you provided us. I'll make sure to add to my research!"
„It a lot, but you definitely helped us understand our situation a little better." -Fuuka said with a kind smile. Morgana blushed a little at the praise.
„Yamagishi's right. We're very thankful, Morgana." -Mitsuru said with a nod."Anyway, it's getting late." -She looked at Ren."Ren-kun, let me show you to your room."
After the meeting ended, Mitsuru showed Ren his new room. As they were about to enter, they heard Morgana.
„Hey, mind if I sleep in your room?" -Morgana asked.
„Huh? You want to sleep in my room?" -Ren was surprised.
„I don't see any reason as to why he shouldn't." -Mitsuru said with a small smile."Anyway, this will be your room from now on."
Persona 5 The Royal Ost - I Will Give You
Although the room was simple, Ren couldn't help but stare in awe. After two years of sharing a bedroom with other orphans, he finally had his own room. The last time that was the case was when he was living with his mother.
„Well, it's not much but I hope it's to your liking." -Mitsuru said with a wry smile. Her eyes widened after seeing that Ren was crying."Hey, what's the matter? Are you okay?"
„Ren, did something happened?" -Morgana asked.
„Last time… I had my own room was when I lived with my Mom…" -Ren choked out, trying to hold back his tears.
Mitsuru read the report about how Ren ended up in an orphanage. It was truly terrible for a child to see their mother die in such a way. She felt sympathetic toward Ren because of it. While her own mother was alive, they have rarely seen each other since she awakens to her Persona. Even when they see each other, her mother is like a stranger to her. Seeing Ren crying like that reminded her of herself when she was a child.
Kneeling to his level, Mitsuru embraced Ren with a gentle hug. Surprised, Ren looked at her with tears running down his cheeks.
„It's alright now. You're not alone." -Mitsuru said gently."Now you have us and I'll personally make sure that everything will be alright. So please, don't cry." -Ren automatically hugged her back and cried into her shoulder.
Despite only really caring about regaining his memories, Morgana felt bad seeing Ren crying like that. He wasn't sure why he felt that way. It's as if deep down, he cared about Ren's well-being. But he only knows him for a day. He couldn't explain it, and that worried him.
Once Ren calmed down, Mitsuru wished him a good night's sleep and left his bedroom. Ren was already tucked in his bed, tired from crying so much.
„Hey, listen…" -Morgana said while lying next to him."I know it's kinda selfish that I only joined because I feel like you might help me regain my memories, but…"
„It's alright." -Ren said with a small smile."You saved Me, Akechi, and Koromaru. I own you my life, so if helping you regain your memories is the least I can do."
„How about We make a deal?" -Morgana offered."You help me with my memories, and I will teach you how to properly use your power. How does that sound?" -Ren nodded with a smile."Alright, We have a deal then!"
"Thou art I... And I am thou...
Thou hast established a new bond...
Thou shalt be blessed when creating
Personas of the Magican Arcana..."
