Chapter 7

I know that I haven't talked about this in a while. But I guess I didn't have to.

Yu just left. After a year of his being there, Inaba almost feels incomplete. Almost.

Chie and I have been happy. It's funny, in a way. We were so afraid. I was wrapped up in this idea that she could never like me, and she was feeling the same way about me. I'm kind of stupid, I guess.

No. No, I'm not. That's the problem.

I kept on feeling sorry for myself, not even realizing it. Isn't that what caused it? If I told her, this could've all been avoided. All these awful feelings, all this crying out about it, all this sadness. All I needed to do was reach out and told her how much she meant to me, not let some Shadow me spill the beans and act like an ass.

When I got my Persona, I thought it was over. I could never hide from myself again. But that's only half of it.

Chie's right next to me. I couldn't tell her this, but I can say it to you. We're watching Trial of the Dragon. She's got the cutest socks on.

Thanks, I couldn't do it-

Y'know what? Thank you. Just, thank you.
