Hello and welcome to the chapter 6 everyone! I'm glad if you liked the last chapter—if you don't like it, it still okay; I'm an evil author, y'know? This chapter will tell Nanako's past and how did she get Nemesis from, who's this 'he' or 'senpai' that Nanako kept telling about and what did happened at Remnant Time—well, I think you can guess who's he. Remember the last part of last chapter? So this'll be many things in Shinjiro's POV. Remember again that this story is AU, so there'll be something's not according the real storyline.
I have been into K-ON lately, so sorry that I abandon my MegaTen fics and other fics as well :'(
Now, onto the story! (Actually I want this chapter to be posted few days later but I guess I'll do it now)
Disclaimer - I don't even own any of K-ON amazing character, and I don't own any of Persona series characters and other resources, I only own the story idea ^^
Perspective 06
Sleep
"Who's that…boy name?" asked Mio out of curiosity.
"Oh…his name was Amada Ken," he sighed. "He was second-year in high school, we've been friends and Persona-users for a long time and he followed me and Aki going with police works, he was a brilliant and mature brat."
"He must be a good person!" Yui exclaimed.
Shinjiro chuckled. "Well, yes he was."
"Hum, I see." Ritsu followed. "Then, what happened?"
"…Listen," Shinjiro lowered his sound. "It was…"
/
One year ago, peaceful rural town Inaba,
It was the day that me, Aki and Ken going to the town for transit job. We're working as police—no, me detective, Aki's police and Ken is Aki's assistance—we're moved to this town after a strange case had occurred in couple years ago, Aki's in Inaba PD, I'm working under a detective agency named Shirogane and Ken kept with his school at Yasogami High School there.
After several time, Aki got promoted and have been decided to be a partner with a high-class police detective named Dojima Ryotaro. That night, us three visiting his house after Ken got home after a part-time job at the gas station.
"Hey, welcome there! Are you Sanada Akihiko?" asked the tall man in his early mid-age with an invisible beard.
"Yes, it's pleasure to meet you, Dojima-san." Akihiko bowed respectfully.
"And who's these? Your colleagues, eh?"
"Ah, they're my friends that worked with me. This is Aragaki Shinjiro and this one is Amada Ken,"
"Pleased to meet you, sir," I said.
"Nice to see you, sir," said Ken.
As we entered the room we already see cups of home-made coffee in the small table and his daughter was standing near sofa still with her Yasogami uniform on, so I recognized her as a high-schooler, same as Ken does. When Aki and I talked to Dojima, I heard Ken talked to the girl as Aki kept on and on his mouth on Dojima.
"Who's your name? I think I have seen you at school. Are you the football manager?"
"Yes I am, my name is Dojima Nanako," the girl smiled. "Amada Ken-senpai, was it? You're the brilliant transfer student and soccer player; everyone said so, just like my big bro did,"
"Ooh, do you have a brother? It must be nice,"
"Well, it wasn't a real brother but he did came here when I'm still in middle school," she hung her head low. "I thought now he must be busy with his university,"
"I-I see," Ken somehow felt uneasy. "You only lived there with your father?"
"Umm, yes, my mother died when I'm still in elementary school,"
I can see that Ken's expression darken for a reason.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to!" Ken apologized. "What's your brother look like then?"
"He's reliable and strong. I remembered I have been rescued by him once, but I don't remember when," she muttered. "It was…on a foggy, light place….and there's someone shouting about Personas and such…"
I blinked when I heard this—and I'm sure that Ken's eyes are widened.
As we got home after that, we passed on the Junes supermarket and decided to drink something before hit the sack. And so, Ken began to speak.
"I think she must have a potential," said Ken. "Somehow, she's same as me,"
"You thought so?" Aki comprehended. "Well, after hearing your story, I'm sure that she has been involved with Persona-users,"
I took a sip at my SoBay, "How about we asked her sometimes?"
Somehow, we got lucky. Months passed and Inaba PD told that Dojima Ryotaro will be moved for a certain case outside Japan, and he entrusted Nanako within us to care. We told her about everything, and she told us something interesting about her big brother that was a Persona-user, murdering cases and such. We came to realization that she has a vast potential within herself, and she agreed to stick with us until her father came back to Japan.
She got to train with Ken supervised her almost every day. After school, she always took out her Naginata—it suited her well because it's a standard and most balancing weapon—to practice with Ken's spear, it was fun to watch, but sometimes became annoying if they don't want to back down—me and Aki must seperate them ASAP. Sometimes as we stayed together in her house, she will cook a really good meal that we enjoyed. Sometimes it will be Aki's favorite beef bowl, mine's favorite ramen or a healthy set—contained veggies and some other stuff—that Ken enjoyed. Well, I often cook replaced Nanako, though.
Few days after that, Aki got a call from Mitsuru that there's something we must to clear up. Us Persona-user was fighting before because there was a 'Dark Hour', a certain time when shadows roaming around and caused an Apathy Syndrome cases all over the world.
There have been serial missing cases that we have to look up, so here we are now—Downtown Tokyo—to pursue the case. After collecting evidence, we conclude that there were mass students that followed a certain cult back at 2009 regarding to Nyx—mother of shadows which bring The End upon the world that we tried to prevent—and have been forced to summon Persona with shadow extraction method—it's like a game where you perform a ritual to call out your Persona—to join the cult and getting to so-called-salvation. Because of the frequent ritual, an alternate version of darkness had been recollected—which we call 'Remnant Time' now, because it's a remaining trash of 'Dark Hour'—where us guys fighting at 2009.
To sum it up, 'Remnant Time' is the remaining of 'Dark Hour' so we must settle it down for good.
That day, four of us are going to the Remnant Time after we managed to copy the ritual using Nanako as medium. But there was something that out of expectation…
"Wow, this place looks cool, it's all like…heaven," Ken amazed.
"It's so different from the Dark Hour huh?" Aki smiled. "Now, we must find source of this—"
As we found trees that descend to the skies above, we heard an omnious sound.
[…GET OUT FROM HERE, SINNER…]
"Who's that sound from…?" I looked everywhere—but all I can see was rainbows or some kind of clouds.
[…I JUST NEED THE GIRL, THOU ARE UNWANTED, AND THOU GOT THOU PERSONA…I MUST COMPLETE THE RITUAL...]
Ground started to crumble, and there was a black swamp that swallowed Nanako in. Aki and I didn't manage to get her hand because there are shadows that disturbed us, but…
Ken. She got her hand.
"Senpai, no, just let go off me!" she shouted desperately.
"No, I won't." Ken clutched her hand on his. "I won't…miss anyone precious again, never!"
"No, please, just go without me!"
"Dojima—No, Nanako, listen to me!" Ken shouted. "I don't want my emotion will be waste again…"
"But senpai, you will sunk in with me if you keep this!"
He took a deep breath as he tightens his grip.
"I've fallen for you,"
[…THOU ARE SINNER! THOU MUST PAY…]
The swamp swallowed Ken and Nanako in.
[…THOU PERSONA IS MINE…]
Suddenly we got back to our place, and Ken's gone. But the ritual intensified and from that moment Nanako had Ken's Persona—Nemesis—even we don't know why it happened. We believed that he's already died—but she never lost her hope.
"Please, I know that HE'S STILL THERE!"
"Dojima brat, I already told you, he's died! You saw him!" I scolded her.
"No, I don't want to believe that he died! I will search for him!"
But, I kinda felt a déjà vu for seconds. As when I was run after my girlfriend shadow but I'll never catch her up. I know I'm stupid, but she's in the same state as I was. It was the same pain, the same feeling I felt when I let her go of my arms…when I knew that she died…
Nanako and my girlfriend are…kind of same. She reminded me more about her.
I slipped my hands to my sweater pocket and hold in a box of pills that I had there, "…Fine, if you wish. Took this tablet, this was used by an artificial Persona-user…you understand the risk, right…?"
/
"…That's all that I can say…" Shinjiro sighed, but her eyes widened when he saw three of his audiences' eyes were wet with tears—especially Mio and Yui—Ritsu managed to took a deep breath to control her tears.
Ritsu bring up her voice, "Anyways…Shinjiro-san…who was your girlfriend…? A-and why you felt she and Nanako are same?"
"She? She was the one who stopped Nyx disaster back at 2009," Shinjiro forced a smile. "Her name was…Nagisa Kaori, she was a multi-Persona-users that has been sacrificed herself to be Nyx' seal, she's already died…and I know I mustn't mourn everyday for her, I must go on with this life that she gave to me,"
"Shinjiro-san, waaaaaaaah!" Yui cried loudly.
"Hey, pipe down! You may wake up that blonde or that raven-haired girl!" Shinjiro consoled Yui. "Then, I'll be outside to find Aki and Mitsuru, okay? See you,"
The tall man figure disappeared behind the sliding door.
/
As the detective stepped outside, the silver-haired policeman already waited for him outside with a sad smile—seems that he overheard the conversation, or maybe, eavesdropped from the beginning.
"About Kaori again eh, Shinji?" said Akihiko in rather sad tone. "Hah, that kinda reminded me when we're fighting over her with Ken,"
"That was past, Aki." Shinjiro solemnly replied. "She must be happy there, because it was her wish to seal Nyx, to save us,"
"Yeah, I thought so," Akihiko chuckled. "Well, seems that your love for her didn't subsided,"
"Shut up, you already married with Mitsuru, so don't bring about that thing again and it is okay to remember her, alright?" Shinjiro somehow felt embarrassed. "Nah, there's something that still nagging me,"
"Really, there's no point to dodge it, Shinji," Akihiko laughed. "Hmm? What's up?"
"At the battle hours ago I saw…" Shinjiro lowered his voice. "…Thanatos, her persona,"
"You can't be serious…it must be a delusion…" Akihiko sighed.
"Maybe? But I see it for real," Shinjiro tilted his head. "Then, how about that shadow extraction case? You got something new?"
"Shirogane Detective Agency said that they have the file regarding Nyx' cult all over Japan back at 2009, it will be delivered shortly by Inaba PD police today or tomorrow, but they already sent the list of cult member, here."
Akihiko took out his phone, rolled over the web page folder and showing Shinjiro the witnesses. It reads as follows;
-Some text missing-
Remained Member
ID 433; Persona: Moros
ID 434; Persona: Thanatos
ID 435; Persona: Hypnos
-Some text missing-
"So it was not her Thanatos, huh…?" Shinjiro sighed heavily. "Well then…umm, how's Nanako doing?"
Akihiko felt uneasy to move his lips, "…She…"
/
The three still stayed inside the room, waiting for Mugi and Azusa.
"…It was a wonderful story, huh?" Ritsu gazed afar. "I don't know this will be so complicated,"
"Yes it was,"
The voice made the three flinched—they didn't even know that the collapsed blonde already up and about on the hospital bed. She made a smile of apology as their eyes watched her.
"Mu-Mugi!" Mio is more surprised than ever. "How long did you awake?"
"Umm, I have been awake when Shinjiro-san about tell the story," Mugi forced a smile. "It was...sad and touching,"
"I don't even understand a word but it seems sad," Yui sighed.
"It sounded so like you, Yui," Mio smiled. "Well, at least what we can do now is pray that everyone saved,"
"I can agree with that, Mio," Ritsu couldn't help but grinned. "I hope Dojima's okay and Azusa will wake up soon,"
"…"
Everyone fell silent, no one bother to say a word.
"…Hrrmm…Uhh, where am I…" Azusa shifted her position as she seeing the white ceiling. Everyone stayed beside Mugi's bed except for Yui.
"AZU-NYAAAAAN~" Yui nearly jumped and now she hugged Azusa in sitting position.
"S, Senpai, wait!" the pigtailed kouhai yelped, "T-That hurts, senpai!"
"Sorry! It's just that I'm glad to see you again!" Yui's eyes began teary all of sudden.
"U, Umm, I'm really sorry that I worried you before…I'm really sorry," Azusa sobbed. "Because of me…that everything's happened…"
"No, no, it's not your fault, Azu-nyan," Yui patted the kouhai's back. "It's a relief that everyone saved,"
"Urr…*hic*…" Azusa began to cry in Yui's embrace, the brunette tightens the embrace as more tears flowed from her eyes.
"Now, now, please cheer up," Yui stoked the kouhai back gently. "Want me to sing a song for you, Azu-nyan?"
"I'm glad that everything's normal," said Mugi in relieved tone. "What about Nanako-chan? Last I saw her she was—"
"Umm, we don't know yet. Nurse Takeba didn't come here either," Ritsu cut her. "I hope we'll got a good news,"
SRAGH, the sliding door opened abruptly.
"Everyone, Nanako's awake!" flustered Yukari came from the hall.
/
"Do you have…maybe someone to contact to, Kirijo-san?" asked Sawako.
"I contacted her brother, but he said that his friend will substitute him, he will come at night." Mitsuru replied.
"I see," the bespectacled teacher sighed. "After hearing the whole story, I think it is okay to discuss this thing to her brother or her brother's friends,"
"I can agree with that, besides…" Mitsuru shifted her gaze to echoed sound of steps. "They might know something,"
"Mi-Mitsuru-san, Sawa-chan!" Ritsu called. "Is it true that Nanako's awake?"
"Yeah, but she's still weak, so we must wait until tomorrow for the final result," the redhead smiled at them. "You all need a good rest; you did a great job,"
"Oh, wait, Nakano-san, you stayed here. Doctor said you need few checkups before he can released you,"
"R, Right," Azusa followed Yukari.
"Azu-nyan, don't leave meee~" Yui dramatically moved.
"Yui, toughen up, will you?" Mio couldn't suppress her laugh.
"Don't worry senpai, I'll be back to club in no time," Azusa smiled and waved at her senpais as she followed Yukari back to her previous room.
"Take care, Azusa-chan!" Mugi waved back.
Ritsu followed to wave, "Don't force yourself to get back if you're still tired, your portion of cake will be mine!"
"I resent that, Ritsu-senpai!" Azusa shouted, everyone laughed.
"…Then I'll bring them home," Sawako offered as she showed her car keys. "Thanks for today, Kirijo-san,"
"No, you helped us more," the Kirijo Group CEO smiled. "I should be thanking you all,"
/
Haruka Municipal Hospital, Lobby
As they walked to the exit, two older men bumped into Sawako which walked in the front of the group accidentally.
"O-Oh, sorry!" the man with pale orange hair and orange headphones apologized rather hurriedly. "Are you okay?"
"I-It's okay, are you in a hurry, sir?" Sawako—with fake business smile—gently shook her head.
"Y, yeah, we are!" the other man with bleached hair and gangster looks replied, the headphone man already run through the lift direction.
"C'mon Kanji, let's go up," the headphone man shouted, the bleached guy trailed him and they up for another floor.
"That men must be in hurry," Mio gazed at them.
"Humm… are they wanna see Nana-chan?" said Yui out of blue.
"I dunno, maybe not," Ritsu reasoned. "Let's go home, I feel tired,"
"Yeah, me too," Mio sighed. "Mugi, you should take more rest, okay? Your damage was heavier than us,"
"I will, Mio-chan,"
The small car is full of five people inside, driving through the lonely road of Downtown Tokyo, crossing the resentful night.
/
"I see, so you must be Dojima brother's friends?" Mitsuru added.
The previous head-phoned guy spoke with manner, "Yes, um, I'm Hanamura Yosuke, and this is Tatsumi Kanji, nice to meet you, Nanako's guardian."
"Address me as Kirijo Mitsuru, Hanamura and Tatsumi-san." Mitsuru gently responded. "Dojima's fighting for her life as we speaking; I invited you here to confirm that she's alive,"
"That's great," Kanji sighed in relief. "H-How come Nanako's in danger again?"
"…'Again'…?" Mitsuru repeated.
"Ssh, Kanji!" Yosuke groaned.
"Gah, sorry senpai! Me and my big mouth…" he apologized deeply for a reason.
"No, we already know the whole story," the redhead managed to get back the topic—what can be expected from Kirijo Group CEO. "You must be Persona-users too, right?"
"…W, W, WHAT! So you must be…?" Yosuke has taken aback.
"Yes, we need you to cooperate with us," Mitsuru persuaded. "Let's have a discussion with me at somewhere but here now; I'll call few of my friends with me,"
"Fine," Kanji solemnly replied as he took a seat nearby. "How 'bout Junes senpai? Today's pretty empty, right?"
Yosuke nodded, "Alright, but..."
"I know that we need to pick up Chie-senpai from station this night, but she said that the train'll come late so it should be okay,"
"Then, let's go. You drive," Yosuke passed the car keys to the bleached kouhai. "I've decide the place, Kirijo-san,"
/
"You're in a good shape, but…" the doctor paused. "It seems you must have another bed rest here tonight, Nakano-san. Yukari-chi must be prepared the room and IV now."
"I see, what's wrong with me, doctor Junpei?"
"I detected some damage in your body that need to be in my care," he said. "It's related to my thesis about Persona's severe effect on body when I'm trying to cure one of my patients. I found MY WAY to cure it, awesome, huh?"
"I, I see," Azusa managed to stand between the doctor self-consciousness.
"Sorry, it's my joke line. But my experiment about Personas and Suppressants were true," Junpei sneered. "Take a good sleep, okay? It seems that you haven't sleep for a few days,"
"H-Huh, you know about it?" Azusa felt embarrassed. "Umm…can I visit Nanako now?"
"Well, sure thing." The doctor gave a thumb. "She already consumed suppressant, but not as long as my former patient did so I managed to decrease the effect by injecting some serum and…uhh, in short, let's go."
They rose from their respective seats and going to the Nanako's room. All is quiet, and Yukari is standing outside the room.
"Junpei, I thought you will go into Nakano-san's room first,"
"Nah, she insisted to go here," Junpei grinned apologetically. "It's okay at least for now, right?"
"Yes, but just a few minutes," Yukari gave the permission. "You still have to watch her from relapse again, doc."
"Leave it to me," he stated proudly. "Just go, I will have a word with Yukari—I mean, Nurse Takeba here,"
/
Azusa took a step inside the room. She saw the girl bedridden with many cables attached to her body. There's cardiogram that showed that's her heart is still beating slowly, and there's oxygen mask that stated that she's still breathing. The raven-haired girl smiled in relief for that, but flood of the story is entering her mind, why the life must be harsh like hers?
She positioned herself beside the bed; she sat herself in the nearby chair and smiled wryly.
"I'm sorry; because of me…I…you…" she began the monologue. "I mustn't be jealous…just because of the simplest thing, huh…?"
"My pain is nothing compared your pain, Dojima," she said again. "I hope that you'll get better soon enough and we can seek the truth,"
She took a deep breath.
"Can we…be friends, perhaps?"
/
"Mitsuru-senpai told me about that when I'm checking Dojima Nanako off," Yukari lowered her sound. "She's similar to Kaori did, huh…"
"I'm surprised of it," Junpei nodded in agreement. "So there's more thing for us to clean up? This'll be another journey,"
"We can't leave our spot here, remember?" Yukari reprimanded. "We must have our hopes on them, the Persona-users that's not us,"
"Yeah," Junpei sighed. "There's many artificial Persona-users other than Chidori did, huh…?"
"We never know the world, doc." Yukari frowned. "Okay, take Nakano-san back to her room, now."
/
"How about me held a rehearsal tomorrow at the hospital, Ricchan, Mio-chan, Mugi-chan, and Sawa-chan?"
"…Hospital wouldn't allow an amp, baka," Ritsu held the laughter.
"An acoustic guitar still allowed, perhaps? If we played it slowly," Mio voiced her idea.
"I can bring my portable keyboard there, too," Mugi raised her hand. "Maybe I can play some supporting tunes,"
"…I can't bring Gitah?"
"Like I said earlier, baka. No amp will be allowed!" Ritsu repeated. "Mio has an acoustic guitar at home right? Just bring it, or, I will confiscate your Gitah if you insisted!"
"Waaah! Ricchan's mean!" Yui pouted.
"Don't made too much noise in the hospital, or Takeba will whack you out," Sawako warned. "But, do your best if you want to entertain Dojima and Azusa-chan,"
"You heard that, Yui," the other brunette plopped Yui's head playfully. "We'll pick the songs tomorrow and go straight to the hospital, okay?"
To be continued.
Okay, whaddya think for this chapter? Plenty enough of information that made your brain burst? I guess not, there's something uncovering the truth. In this setting, the female protagonist of P3P already died, and I didn't include Minato here, I'm really, really sorry XD
Is anyone curious about the Shadow Extraction Members? Me too *slaps*
Uhh, what should I add for this chapter…maybe more Persona Compendium and Commu/S. Link Info—I'm lazy to wrote the S-Link part somehow—h-hey don't throw rocks on me! 8D
K-ONSONA = PERSONA COMPENDIUM
II. Others, part A
-Trismegistus
Arcana: Magician
Owner: Iori Junpei
Compendium Info: Hermes Trismegistus is quoted as the founder and pioneer of alchemy, astrology and magic. The origin of the name Trismegistus, meaning "thrice-great", refers to the three subjects that he was a pioneer of. Hermes Trismegistus is said to be the combined knowledge of the Greek god Hermes with that of the Egyptian god Thoth.
-Isis
Arcana: Lovers
Owner: Takeba Yukari
Compendium Info: Isis was a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. She was worshiped as the ideal mother and wife, patron of nature and magic; friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, as well as listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and was born on the fourth intercalary day. In later myths about Isis, she had a brother, Osiris, who became her husband, and she then was said to have conceived Horus. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Seth. Her magical skills restored his body to life after she gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Seth.
-Castor
Arcana: Hierophant
Owner: Aragaki Shinjiro
Compendium Info: Castor was the twin brother of Polydeuces and part of the Argonauts. Both Castor and Polydeuces had the same mother, Leda, but Polydeuces' father was Zeus, while Castor's father was a mortal man named Tyndareus; because of this, Castor was mortal while Polydeuces was immortal. When Castor died, Polydeuces requested to share his immortality with him, and they became the Gemini constellation.
-Caesar
Arcana: Emperor
Owner: Sanada Akihiko
Compendium Info: The title of Caesar is bestowed upon the rulers of Imperial Rome. It is derived from the family name of Julius Caesar, who effectively transformed the Roman Republic into an Empire. He is one of the few demons in the series that is based on an actual person rather than a mythological figure (Caesar was deified by the Roman Empire however).
-Artemisia
Arcana: Empress
Owner: Kirijo Mitsuru
Compendium Info: Artemisia is based on Artemisia of Caria, an actual ruler from the ancient west region of Asia Minor, who served as queen after the death of her husband, Lygdamis, continuing his legacy. She became an adviser to Xerxes, the Persian Lord at the time and formed an alliance with him in a war with the Greeks. She is famous for her participation in the Battle of Salamis, where she survived capture by sinking her own ship and therefore formed an escape route. Then she came back to Xerxes and convinced him to retreat. Nevertheless, the Persians were astonished by her battle tactic and praised her to be a valiant ally. There is also another ruler with the same name, who built the Mausoleum of Maussollos. Even though there was never any statement of which one serves as the main concept for her creation in the game, the latter never participated in any historical battle. Unlike most personas in the series who are based on myth and legends, Artemisia, along with Lucia and Caesar, are few examples of those based on historical figure. Further, while Lucia is a Catholic saint and Caesar was treated as a god, Artemisia was not believed to be supernatural.
-Kala-Nemi
Arcana: Justice
Owner: Amada Ken
Compendium Info: Kala-Nemi is the pre-Vedic spirit of the Zodiac, encircling the universe like a great serpent. Also referred to as the Rim of the Wheel of Time, Kala-Nemi's association to the zodiac is closely linked to the observation that all seasons are determined by the position of the zodiac in the skies.
-Juno
Arcana: Priestess
Owner: Yamagishi Fuuka
Compendium Info: The Queen of the gods, Juno, is the goddess of marriage, the Roman equivalent of the Greek deity, Hera. She is the daughter of Saturnus and Ops, along with her five other siblings and is married to one of her brother, Jupiter. The epithet Juno moneta, where she is said to protect the finances of the empire, means "the one who warns", a concept used in the game (matching Juno's nature as a Persona). Another concept is the peacock feather as the symbol of the Goddess, even though it actually symbolizes her Greek counterpart, rather than Juno herself.
-Thanatos
Arcana: Death
Known Owner: Nagisa Kaori, UNKNOWN
Compendium Info: In the Greek Poem, Theogony, Thanatos (Greek: θάνατος — Death) is one of the sons of Nyx and is the elder twin brother of Hypnos. In the earliest mythological accounts, Thanatos is the harbinger of peaceful death, bringing eternal sleep to the world. Characterized as indiscriminate and merciless, Thanatos is detested by all and he hates them in return, all too happy to bring mortals to their fated end. Thanatos is perceived by Greek poets as a fearsome, sword-wielding, shaggy bearded specter and fierce of countenance. He is a harbinger of suffering and grief, and his coming was marked by pain.
In later eras, Thanatos is portrayed as an angel of Death, associated more with a gentle passing than a woeful demise, guiding mortals after their death. Many Roman sarcophagi depict him as a winged boy, very much akin to Cupid. The depiction of Thanatos in Persona 3 seems to be derived more from the earliest mythological accounts, being characterized as a grim warrior surrounded by a mantle of metal coffins. He also resembles a more intact version of The Reaper, an overpowered Shadow that can be encountered in Tartarus.
