Yu know that what happen is not a dream , he's sure he already flee Minato
He suddenly stand up , he wake in the velvet room. Minato who he rescued was no where to be seen. But his body still lie on the bed , remain in the velvet room.
Then Yu can't find the gigantic figured of Thanatos. But Ryoji is here.
"Ryoji , where's Minato!?" Yu asked with panic.
"It's OK , He's with me" Ryoji smile and then walk toward to bed. Even he can't see. But He can feel the present of Minato from Ryoji.
The mystery boy with yellow scarf sit on the bed , he lean toward Minato. Place his lip on the boy's forehead.
"I AM THOU , AND THOU ART I"
This phrase...don't tell me that , Ryoji is Minato's persona!?
"I WILL RETURN TO THOU"
Yu still stunted , but then the blue light appear from Ryoji's lip , than fade into Minato's body.
He still looking at Ryoji , the Persona that have it's own will. He remain their with Minato , keep protecting him from Erabus and shadow. Yu can feel the strong bond between them.
So , this is the "True love kiss" that Igor talking about? Yu feel glad that he isn't the one who delivered the kiss. He stand up firmly , and walk toward the bed.
Both Yu and Ryoji stared at Minato's face , hoping for some change.
A few second pass with tension. and then…
"Umm….."
Minato let out a small mourning. He open his eyes and then look around.
"Ryo...ji?" His expression full with question. "Where am I ? Why are you here?"
It's seem like Minato didn't know what happen.
"We are at the velvet room , and Ryoji...I don't know but he remain at the seal and keep protecting you , Minato." Yu said
"Who are you?" Minato asked
"I'm Narukami Yu , the fellow wild card wielder , Igor ask me to bring you back" He give an exhausted smile
"How you…" Minato seems surprised.
"Urr…..I don't know how , I didn't even know what I did either. But Elizabeth said that I will be able to do it….since I'm the wild card like you." Yu scratch his head
"Elizabeth?"Minato raise his eyebrows. And looking for Elizabetch , who stand behind Yu.
"Yes , Master Minato….welcome back"
"She's really excited about getting you back you know?" Yu said
"Really? Thank you Elizabeth…" Minato give a warm smile
"It's….not a big deal , further more , there something you should know…" She try to conceal her feeling while changing the topic.
"It's OK , Elizabeth. I will explained to him later." Yu said " Well , you sleep for more than 3 years...I dont know that you want to get some rest…"
"I want...It's not a good sleep anyway…"Minato let out a big sigh
It's seems so , he must bear the pain and feel like walking in the endless nightmare.
"Well , I will leave Minato in your care , Master Yu"
"Don't worry"
"Please stay save…"
Yu and Minato was sent out from the velvet room , it's already late here , so not much people around.
"So...It's really nothing here." Minato look around while walking from the central shopping area with Yu and Ryoji
"Haha , but it's a nice town , I will introduce you to my friend tomorrow."
Then Yu suddenly stop.
Minato seems to know something happen.
"What's up?"
"Um...well...I don't know that...they will still be the same…"
"Your friends?"
"Yes...in order to free you...i need to sacrifice my "World" arcana , along with the bond with them...But compare to your , it's such a small thing. I can't imagine doing something like you did...your bravery is something" Yu try to force a smile on his face.
"No...It's not…" Minato said.
"I become the great seal with fear…"
"?" Yu looking at Minato
"I'm scared...so I become the seal…" Minato look down on the street "I'm scared that I will lost them forever , I'm scared of being useless , I'm scared to lost my place. I'm scared of being forgotten...That's also why I become a seal…."
"Deep down inside , I'm scared."
Yu feel a little bit awkward , he don't know what to respond.
"But you cut your tie with them , you sacrifice your bond with them for me...That's what I won't be able to do…"
"Thank you , Yu"
Minato's word piece through Yu's heart. It's been a while that Yu was thinking about this.
"I...It's not a big deal , I…..I just…"
"I can say for sure that , that the seal you make will be very powerful" Minato pat Yu's shoulder.
He don't know , he just met Minato for a very few time , but he feel like he know this fellow for a long time. It's like the deep bond between the wild cards.
"Then it's relieve! , well Let's go to my house and I will make something for you. You must be hungry after sleep for 3 years. Then we can talk about the situation during the dinner" Yu keep up his cheerful side.
What ever happen , even his friend forget about him , or what ever happen , he will keeping on protecting them from this bizarre phenomenon
"Sound great...I feel hungry all of sudden" Minato touch his belly.
"I'm hungry too! Yu-kun you can cook!?" Ryoji really know the mood. He cling to Minatos and Yu's shoulder.
"I also have many thing to ask you too… Ryoji" Minato let out a smile
"Then it's decide , by the way , do you have anything you want to eat?" Yu asked.
"Anything is find…" Minato answer with his usual phrase.
Three of them talk along the way to Dojima's resident.
