MK2: Hello again. I read your email. I am confused about the discrepancies between our cases. There are enough similarities to convince me that you aren't lying, though I wonder why they were so different. I always wondered where my Grandfather received the shadows he studied-perhaps it is from this TV world. You say you could simply summon your Persona after accepting your shadow?

DP4: Yes, they appeared as tarot cards. Why, what did you have to do?

MK2: Anyone with the potential could use an evoker to summon their Persona.

DP4: An evoker?

MK2: I will email you the details later. I'm sorry, but my job leaves me very busy. I'll contact you again when I can.

Later

TB: Delta?

TG: TALKS LIKE THIS.

TG: and seems to know about the case

TG: might be a god

TB: Gods Exist?

TG: apparently

TG: izanami at least

DP4: We are probably dealing with at least two entities here. Delta, who may be the God who started this, and one or more culprits.

TB: Why Would There Be More Than One Person Given These Powers?

DP4: In the Inaba case, there were three people given powers by Izanami: Our leader, Souji, The main culprit, and a man who thought he was saving the people he was throwing into the Televisions. In this case, though, there could easily have been more people given powers.

TB: I See.

TB: Why Do I Get The Feeling Nobody Likes Me?

Right, a bit of background info, since it isn't going to end up in the story: Marian Pye's shadow acted like a princess-she was tired of being treated as simply a fragile object of beauty. "I am a shadow, the true self! I'll show everyone I'm not weak-by killing you!" Her shadow then took the form of a big porcelain princess figure type thingy. Her persona is Freya, and it's a healer/ice, of the Empress Arcana. George Egbert's shadow took the form of a typical emo, and confronted him about his distancing himself from others. "I'm such a pathetic little coward! Just because I'm not brave enough to try to reach out to anyone, I pretend I never even wanted to in the first place! But you know this. Because you're me." (Cue YOU'RE NOT ME), then his shadow turned into a giant crow with garu skills. His persona is Hod, of the Moon Arcana.

And thanks for the reviews, they're really encouraging!
