Shinichi: How's everything on your first day? Any trouble on your first day?
Zeno: Minor. But don't worry, everything is fine. Thanks to … where is she ?
Shinichi: *confused* Was there someone with you?
Zeno: Yeah, she is-
???: There you are! *approaching Shinichi and Zeno*
A girl with short, bun and purple hair came towards them.
Zeno: Sumire, When have you been?
Sumire: *sigh* Busy tying shoelace. I tried calling to wait but you went to meet Kano-senpai.
Zeno: Hehehe, Sorry.
Shinichi: Kano-senpai? I think I'm the wrong person for thinking I'm Kano. It's Shinichi, Kano's young twin brother. *scratching head*
Sumire: Etto?! Sorry for my mistake! *embarrassed by her mistake*
Shinichi: What's done is done. Some students still make mistakes about us and vice versa. *sigh*.
Sumire: Sorry! *sweatdrop* Anyway, since it was my very first time meeting, Let me introduce myself. Sumire Kanda is my name.
Shinichi: Shinichi Sakamoto, Nice to meet you *handshake to Sumire* Anyway, have you found your class?
Zeno: Yes, both of us share the same class, 10-3.
Shinichi: I see. Anyway, Let me take you to class because that class was my old class.
Sumire: Sweet. Thanks, senpai! But that's okay to call senpai?
Shinichi: I don't mind. *slightly smile*
Shinichi helps them find their class. Their class was on the 3rd floor. After helping them find their class, they immediately rushed to the auditorium for the ceremony.
Lunch Time
Location: Cafeteria
Bgm: Afternoon Break -Reload-
After half an hour of school , the twins, Xander and Amirah met in the cafeteria to chat about the current day at their usual spot. They always sit at a table in the school's park.
Xander: What a Day! *Sit beside with Shinichi*
Shinichi: Hey, at least you are really good as MC in the auditorium.
Xander: *chuckle* Thanks, Shinichi.
Shinichi: And I'm gonna admit that Principal Achebe's speech was really incredible.
Amirah: That's my mom! *Smile proud*
Xander: But it bothers me about some new teachers. Are there a lot of new teachers?
Amirah: Yeah. I heard from my mother recruiter some new teachers.
Xander: I see.
Amirah: Hey, what about your photos already taken in the ceremony, Kano? *See Kano gaze the girl who walking in park* Oh my, is that her?
They see a black girl with curly hair who is walking without noticing them.
Shinichi: Who's she?
Amirah: Her name is Melia Lindbergh. Kano and Melia had history.
Xander: What kind of history with them?
Amirah: They are f-blululu *Kano close her mouth* Hey, Kano! That's rude!
Kano: Sorry! What is talk about? History? What's her history again ? Oh, both us gaming buddies?
Shinichi: Yeah, gaming buddies… *answered with curious tone*
Amirah: *grumpy* Still keeping the secret, huh?
Kano: What's secrets?
Amirah: Don't be dumbfounded! As punishment you and I tag along to go somewhere on the weekend. You can join too if you want *pointed to Shinichi and Xander*
Shinichi: For what?
Amirah: A rumor.
Xander: Rumor? What a kind rumor? A bully?
Amirah: I like your instinct as student council, Xan. But, it's not about that thing. A rumor about another world inside a waterfall. If someone found a secret waterfall, you can enter that waterfall into another world by inside water flow.
Shinichi: So, where's the waterfall?
Amirah: Nobody knows the place of the waterfall. But I hear from that rumor, you can find that in a forest near Harlem Meer.
Xander: Pass. What nonsense who believe that rumor.
Kano: Too bad, cus I would rather check the rumor than about history.
Xander: KANO! *shocked*
Shinichi: Seconded!
Xander: Seconded to agree with me?
Shinichi: Haha… not.
Xander: *jaw dropped with this twins answers* What's wrong with my friends? Why are they such a pain in the ass?
Shinichi: *Put Shinichi's hand on his shoulder* Oh, Mr. Student Council. Student honor of Libertà High School, you will know my pain as I handle my friends from Japan. They are reaaaaaaally loveable idiots and they are so fun. You're gonna enjoy it. *chuckle*
Xander: *sigh* Seriously, you need a reality check about the concept of fun.
Amirah: Thanks guys for joining! *Hugged the twins one by one*
Xander: FINE, I JOIN TOO! *grumpy*
Amirah: I thought you were not interested cus this is very nonsense?
Xander: I want to check it to see if the rumor is not true. *annoyed*
Amirah: Hehehe…
After they speak about the rumor, they continue to eat and speak to each other beside the previous topic until the bell rings.
Kano: Etto, Shinichi. Can you help me to pick some ceremony photos at home? I promise not very long.
Shinichi: Sure, Kano-niisan!
Kano: Heh. Thanks.
Amirah: See ya guys!
Each pair went back to their class after lunch. Time has continued to flow until school time is done.
After School
Location: School's locker
Bgm: Changing Season -Reload- (Persona 3 Reload)
Shinichi comes back to check his locker while suddenly he is hearing an announcement from Principal Achebe by a school speaker.
Principal Achebe: For all students, I expected everyone back to yours house and not to stop by other places. And extracurricular activities do not begin until next week. I hope you understand. As principal and staff, thanks for your attention to hear this announcement.
Shinichi: (As I expected. A lot of criminal cases have happened in this city since last year. I almost got moved from this school by my uncle for my safety and Kano-niisan. Both of us reject his request. I know he is super worried about us, especially me. He and teachers from Justice High take his fault after everything he has done to me.)
As soon as he heard the announcement, Shinichi opened the locker. His eyes caught something interesting. A flip of old paper inside his locker.
Shinichi: (Old paper? I don't remember that thing inside locker)
As Shinichi opens the old paper, he is reading inside the old paper which looks like a diary and writing in Japan.
Date: August XX 18XX
Summer is the beginning of my new life in Italy with My sister. I was disappointed with them. After their change and how they treat my sister, I no longer think of them as real Kyokun. My sister and I are still part of the real Kyokun with blood flow inside us. I give my thanks to our caregiver, who helped us to escape from them. For our safety, both of us change last name to Ninetails. I hope with us in this city, I can manage to survive. Job is no problem since I am learning fast. I kinda prefer craftsmanship, though. As for my sister, she is thinking of getting a job as a singer, which she has been dreaming of since childhood.
Shinichi: (That's an interesting diary. I wonder who wrote that diary? And why is this paper inside my locker? And the writer is Kyokun just like him?!)
Shocked after reading the diary and that caused a lot of questions inside his head. After he is done reading, he puts a paper diary inside the bag. He has decided to go back to his apartment.
Evening.
Location: Living room of Manuela's apartment.
Bgm: Joy -Reload- (Persona 3 Reload)
Promised to him, Shinichi went to help him to review some photos.
Kano: Thanks for joining to help me pick some photos.
Shinichi: U' Welcome.
Kano: Shall we?
Shinichi and Kano begin searching to review some photos as collection photos of those who are going to be used as yearbook school. From the first photo the Principal made a speech to the current photo, Shinichi found the photo very interesting.
Shinichi: Huh? Still can't believe she is finding time to attending the ceremony.
Kano: What are you talking about?
Shinichi shows a female student with long red hairstyles to him.
Kano: Karina? Interestingly, she rarely comes to school. She is so busy with job modeling.
Shinichi: That's odd.
Kano: Speaking of her, I just got a gig as a photographer for her next model photo.
Shinichi: For real?! Congrats!
Kano: Thanks.
Few moments later until the last photo.
Kano: Hmm what do you think of this photo?
Kano showed a photo of a blue butterfly outside the gym room through a small window.
Shinichi: That's rare.
Kano: Yeah, that's strange. Feel that butterfly out of place.
Shinichi: I think we should keep that photo ourselves. That photo does not fit in the yearbook.
Finally the twins done to reviewed the photos.
Kano: Finally done. Thanks again for helping me out, Imotou!
Shinichi: *smile* No problem!
It seems Kano is grateful after help from Shinichi.
!!!
I am Thou… Thou am I.
Thou hast established a new bond…
Thou shalt have our blessings when thou choosest to create a Persona of L'impiccato …
As vow read by Loretta, Suddenly Igor appears nowhere behind Kano.
Igor: It seems you found a new bond with your twin. Congratulations. With this bond which gradually developed, you can make a powerful persona by a strong bond from their heart.
Loretta also joins their conversation.
Loretta: I wish to continue explaining about things, let's save the conversation for the next meeting.
Igor: Why must you undo it?
Loretta: Look at his face! *pointed to Shinichi's face* He is shocked because you suddenly appear!
Realizing what's done, Igor with his embarrassed face move eyes to not contact his face.
Igor: Well… Looks like I made a mistake. Forgive my interrupt. Until very well, I wait for the next meeting.
Before disappearing, Igor and Loretta fix his expression before getting shocked by them.
Shinichi: (What the heck is wrong with them?! Why does he make random creepy jumpscare?! I really wonder how Yuki-senpai and Aigis-senpai handled them as guests. And I was so glad nii-san didn't notice them.)
Kano: As for rest, I take care to print them. You can go rest. And maybe you can… you know I mean. *his eyes fix into Shinichi's phone*
Shinichi: Geez nii-san!!
Shinichi goes back to his room while Kano takes care of them.
Late Evening.
Bgm: Puzzling (Persona Q2)
Shinichi just remembered he promised Ryohei to call him back on Evening. He decides to video call him back. He wants to talk about that fire from his point of view. Speaking about them, some of his friends from Namimori are still living in Aohara, even though Shinichi no longer lives in that city.
Shinichi: Hello. It's me, Shinichi. Sorry to bother you for a sudden important call.
Ryohei: *smiled* Don't apologize. I already have extreme plenty of time to talk. So what's about?
Shinichi explains everything to him about the news of the Aohara summer festival burn.
Ryohei: I see. That's about festival. I knew you were gonna talk about that.
Shinichi: Yeah. I kinda worry about those who become victims in the news, especially some people who I know living in this city.
Ryohei: About them, they are really fine although some of them are injured. I really pity some kids who should be enjoying the moment, instead they got traumatized.
Shinichi: I know, right. What about my mother and Ryuji?
Ryohei: They are not attending the festival. Ryuji got a fever, and I volunteered to take her place in her shop.
Shinichi: *breathed a sigh of relief* Yokatta. What about you?
Ryohei: Heh. Thanks for worrying about me. Just a small injury from saving some kid.
Shinichi: That's very chivalrous for you. Lastly about that incident, Are they still continuing the case?
Ryohei: No.
Shinichi: *eyes wide open* Wait second, No?!
Ryohei: Yeah. According to the police, the festival was caused by too much electricity.
Shinichi: *frowned* What the heck?!
Ryohei: Sawada and the others, including me, were not extremely satisfied with that reason. So we just decided to investigate without them.
Shinichi: Good luck with your Investigation. Ask me anything if you have trouble with a case.
Ryohei: Thanks. We'll appreciate you support *fist bump him*.
After talking about that fire, Shinichi began to change the subject topic to talk with him. He begins to talk about his first day of junior high school and also talks about that rumor who is gonna check with the others. Hearing about the rumor, His face became concerned.
Bgm: All I Can Do -Instrumental- (Guilty Gear XRD -Revelator-)
Ryohei: Are you sure to check that rumor? Honestly, I don't wanna admit it. But, I am extremely worried about your safety.
Shinichi: Very sure. With that rumor, I hope I got another clue. I feel clues from that alternative future not satisfied me because future me lacks a found clue.
Ryohei: Are your neck okay?
Shinichi: The neck? Still good.
Ryohei: …
Ryohei: If you want to check that location, don't forget to take some items from that extremely emergency suitcase. They're gonna help you in extreme unexpected events.
Shinichi: Thanks for warning. Sorry to make you worry.
Ryohei: No problem. Just… be careful, okay?
It seems Ryohei genuinely is extremely worried about you. Shinichi senses a faint stirring of bond between Shinichi and Ryohei.
!!!
I am Thou… Thou am I.
Thou hast established a new bond…
Thou shalt have our blessings when thou choosest to create a Persona of Il Sole…
Shinichi: (Should I be happy or not get another arcana when someone is concerned about me, especially if that person is my boyfriend, huh?)
After the last conversation, both of them finished their conversation for tonight.
