"Have a good day, Nanako!" Yu called to his adorable cousin as she walked towards her school. Once she was out of sight, Yu quickly turned around and started to make his way to his new school. Or should he say old? This was getting really annoying. Once he arrived, Yu took a look at his school. Yasogami hasn't changed in the slightest since Yu left on that fateful December 15th, the day when they went after and failed to catch, Adachi.

Yu shook his head, trying to clear out that day from his mind. This was the day he 'met' Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko. Before he got too excited, he thought more rationally for a moment. Nanako and Ryotaro didn't remember me, and I don't wanna freak them out. I'll just play it cool, and act like I did last time, with some few minor adjustments of course. Yu chuckled lightly, Just wait till I get 'meet' King Moron! He noticed that he was right on time to go to the office to find his homeroom teacher. Upon opening the door, Mr. Morooka turned and glared at him.

"So, you're the new transfer student, huh?" Before Yu cold respond, Morooka started to walk out of the office. "Well come on, I don't got all day!" Yu decided to wait until he was in front of the class, to respond to him. After a few awkwardly silent seconds, they were in the classroom with Mr. Morooka commanded the class with an "Awright, shut your traps." It was silent when we walked in though... Yu thought to himself. Before he could speak his thoughts though, Morooka continued oh his spiel. "I'm Kinshiro Morooka, and I'll be your homeroom teacher from today forward! First things first! Just cause it's spring doesn't mean you can swoon over each other like love-struck baboons! As long as I'm around, you students are going to be pure as the driven snow!"

What is with this guy? Was it really that bad the first time around?

"Now I hate wasting my time, but I better introduce this transfer student."

About time!

"This sad sack's been thrown from the big city out to the middle of nowhere like yesterday's garbage."

...Say what?

"And he's just as much of a loser here as he was there, so you girls better not get any ideas about hitting on him!"

Who are you calling a loser?!

"Tell 'em your name, kid, and make it quick."

"... You're calling me a loser?" Out of the corner of his eye, he could see everyone seemed surprised at his words and if not his words, then definitely his tone. It was the same tone that he spoke to Nametame with when the whole team thought he was the one behind all the kidnappings, and the same tone when he confronted Adachi. A tone of pure hatred and silent fury. Why was he scared of this guy the first day of school all those months ago? He's faced much worse than King Moron, and he's paid the price for it too.

"Hrnh... that's it, you're on my shit list, effective immediately." Yu subtly rolled his eyes. As Morooka continued his speech, Yu tuned him out and focused on his classmates' reaction, specifically Yosuke's, Chie's, and Yukiko's. Yosuke was practically dying in the back, probably still in pain from the bicycle accident that he had. Chie was looking on at him in awe and wonder, while Yukiko... had the smallest of smiles on her face, which made Yu also grin a bit. After being practically family with Chie and Yukiko, he got to the point that he knew that in public, Yukiko's small polite smile meant that her thoughts were elsewhere at the time.

After a good amount of time into Morooka's speech, Chie rose her hand. "Excuse me! Is it okay if the transfer student sits here?" This interruption caused Morooka to remember he had to actually start class today.

"Huh? Yeah, sure. Ya hear that? Your seat's over there. So hurry up and siddown already!" After a quick nod from Yu, he quickly moved to sit down next to Chie. Immediately after Yu sat, Chie leaned over to him.

"He's the worst, huh? Rotten luck for you to get stuck in this class... Well, we just have to hang in there for a year." With a small smile to Chie, he joked back to her.

"Yeah, I'm not sure we can survive this ordeal on our own. But maybe together we may have a chance of making it to at least summer."

Chie giggled as the whole class started to talk about Yu. "Sucks to be the transfer student, ending up in King Moron's Class on the first morning here."

"Yeah, he won't think twice about suspending you if you get on his bad side. Then again, we're all in the same boat..."

"Shut your traps! I'm taking roll and I damn well expect you to respond in an orderly manner!"

I don't know exactly how I'm going to go about this. It's been so long that I barely remember what happens next. I know that last night that Ms. Yamano goes into the Midnight Channel, but I don't even have a weapon, let alone a Persona. Izanagi came to me once I went in with Yosuke to try to find out what happened to Saki-senpai. I can't risk it, otherwise, they may be lost to the Shadows or the Fog again.

Yu was shaken from his thoughts as the intercom came to life.

"ATTENTION, ALL TEACHERS. PLEASE REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO THE FACULTY OFFICE FOR A BRIEF STAFF MEETING."

So they found the body. If I remember correctly, Chie is gonna come up to me and introduce herself and Yukiko soon.

Sure enough, the sirens of a police car went by the school. Now all to do was wait unti- "Hey are you going home by yourself? Why don't you come with us? Oh, nearly forgot! I'm Chie Satonaka. You know I sit next to you, right?" That.

But wait, Does... does that mean she doesn't remember me? and after around after an hour of walking, Yu had an answer to his question. Nope. Neither of them. Not a single one of them. There was no recognition in any one of their eyes, none in Chie's, none in Yukiko's, none in Yosuke's.

No one remembered me... Not even my partner... Once he got home and once Nanako went to bed, Yu got in the shower and let the water mask his tears.
