Makoto was standing in a seemingly endless void with a screen in front of him. The screen showed what seemed to be his friends in a far distant future where everything seemed to be fine, and the so-called "Fall". Makoto didn't seem to have much of a physical form in this state as all he can do is watch his friends live their peaceful lives without him. He wished that he could spend more time with them and keep the promises that he made with the ones he was close with. Ones from a far away past and future. As his mind wanders off, he thinks about what happened that got him this far… He imagines the bonds; friendships he made along his Journey. When he raised his hand during his final moments and his final breath as Aigis held him during those days. When he thought back on it, no one could've expected that any of this would happen. The hardships that they overcame together as a team. From facing ordinary shadows to end Apathy Syndrome to stopping Nyx from destroying humanity as they know it. As Makoto recalls all of his found and even worst memories, he hears a voice in his head that he never heard in his life.

Yes or No?
Makoto would take a second, trying to understand what he was hearing. His mind went through his memories to see if he had ever heard this voice only to fail in vain. With not much thought, Makoto would accept this offer and reply reluctantly."Yes"
Very well let us begin the story
Makoto would almost immediately lose consciousness after hearing this voice. Becoming a foggy memory… "Your attention please. Today's train schedule will be modified due to a rail switching malfunction. We apologize for any inconvenience. The next stop is Iwatodai". Makoto's eyes were shut and even though they were, he could tell he was moving, and even kinda recognizes the voice. Only opening his eyes when he hears the name "Iwatodai" He repeats it in his head like a sweet memory. He would then see his reflection in the mirror as he suddenly realized that he has a physical form. His Medium sized blue hair that would cover one of his eyes. A uniform of some sort and his MP3 player still dangling around his neck slightly moving against him as the train moves. Makoto would think to himself as he walked out of the train and as he did so the clock struck twelve and the sky would turn an ugly dark green. There were large puddles of blood almost everywhere you looked. The buildings were pitch black as Makoto looked around. The atmosphere was ominous and spooky almost as if it was pulled straight out of a horror film. As he looked up into the sky and saw the green moon staring down on him, he would immediately know that there were 3 days left till a full moon. Makoto thought to himself that this shouldnt be possible. He had so many questions running through his head such as: "How is he currently spiritually here?" and "Why is the Dark Hour still happening?" as he walks down a usual pathway. He saw no person, no lights from any of the light sources that weren't the moon. Not even a single animal or dead animal along the way. But Makoto never thought about that. The only thing on his mind was concern about if Nyx was still sealed or if he came back to life somehow, as a thought would flash in his head. He would stop right in front of a door that led to a dorm and pulled out his phone. He opens the calendar and it says "April 7th, 2009". Makoto stares at his phone in shock, not expecting the fact that he may have been sent back through time to before he started his life in Iwatodai. He thinks about his friends, putting his phone in his pocket. He would take a deep breath and clear his mind, walking through the door to where the story begins once again… Makoto walks through the door, but to his surprise he doesn't meet Pharos. Instead he just sees the contract on the counter, already signed with his name: "Makoto Yuki". Makoto picks up the contract, only for it to burn away in his hands with a blue flame, leaving not even ash behind in its place. "Hold it!" Makoto hears from the familiar confident female voice. Makoto looks to the right, where he heard her voice and immediately thought of Yukari. Which he was right. He looked at her with her normal short light brown hair, pink school uniform with a red bow tying it all together. As Makoto was remembering his friend's appearance, Yukari would speak up again. "How did you get here at this hour? Are you…. One of them…?" Yukari unclips a gun like object and points it at Makoto, only to get interrupted by a voice coming from the stairs "Takeba, wait." A mature and calming voice would sound through the tense room as Yukari lowers her gun slightly in response. The lights would turn on suddenly which causes Yukari to look up at the ceiling and back at Makoto with a bit of relief. "Takeba, let me introduce you to the newest resident to the dorm. Makoto Yuki. He would be sleeping on the first floor near the end of the hallway. Please show him to it." Mitsuru said. Mitsuru had long red hair, White school uniform and also a red bow. Yukari would nod and extend her hand to Makoto Yuki. "Come on. I'll show you to your room." Makoto just nodded in response, following her up to the first floor of the dorms. Yukari seemed to be a little awkward about what happened and what she almost did. She would then look at Makoto, surprised at how calm he was when she was pointing a gun-like object at him. They would walk in front of Makoto's new room. Yukari would turn to look at Makoto. "This is where you will be sleeping. I know we didn't start out on the right foot, but I hope we can be friends. Tomorrow I will show you to the school that you'll be attending." Yukari looked like she felt really guilty about what she almost did, though Makoto already knew what caused her suspicions to him. "It's fine," Makoto says with understanding and a bit nonchalant as he heads in his room which was pretty basic. As he walks in the room there would be a mini fridge to the left of him with a sink right next to it, A closet on his right side with two shelves parallel to each other on the wall right next to the closet, with a box on the top shelf. Right to the window on his left side would be a desk with a computer on it. An off TV would be stationed on a drawer in the top left corner of the room with his bed being on the right side of it. Makoto would go to his bed and rest in it… It was now April 10th and Yukari would knock on the door, telling Makoto to get up, which he does. They are now on the train that leads to his new school. The school was visible from the train as it moved on the rails. Yukari would point at it. "That's where our school is. We will take this train to get there." Makoto nods his head at her. "You don't seem very talkative huh, Makoto. Well there are a lot of things you can do as well, such as join clubs. I am in the archery club. You can also explore the city but you gotta get back before too late. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention, but don't talk about what you saw last night, ok?" Makoto nods. They were now inside the school Gekkoukan High. While experiencing the first day of school again Makoto meets Junpei Iori again for the first time. It is now evening Makoto is sleeping in his room, being watched by a camera. On the other side of the camera would be Mitsuru, Yukari, and a guy named Ikutsuki. The first to speak up was Yukari. "So what do you think? Does he have the potential?" Yukari says with her hands behind her back. "It's different alright. To say he has the potential would be an understatement." Ikutsuki says with a sort of excitement in his tone and eyes. "I still need to analyze him more for a better reading." Then Ikutsuki would be interrupted when the big screen would receive a call. Mitsuru would answer the call as someone would appear on the screen. A male withshort silver hair, grey eyes, skin of pale complexion and wears a white band-aid above his left eyeand has the Gekkoukan High school uniform but instead with a red sweater vest,who looks around the same age as Mitsuru would appear. "Akihiko. Why are you out so late at this time? You know it's dangerous to be out there alone." Misturu said with a stern tone, and slightly serious face; concerned that her friend could've been hurt. "Where are you, Akihiko-Senpai? I thought you would be here with us." Yukari says with her head tilted. Akihiko would speak with his strong and clear voice. "I wanted to get some training in, but I ran into trouble along the way." "What kind of trou-" Before Yukari could finish her sentence a loud roar could be heard from Akihiko's side of the call. When they heard that Mitsuru would immediately prepare for battle. "Takeba, I need you to wake up Makoto and get out of here now!" Her voice more urgent than before yet still calm. Yukari would get the message and like in the original timeline would wake up Makoto and try to escape through the back of the dorms, only for it to be locked so they run to the rooftop to hide from the threat till it's gone. As they make it to the roof, Yukari would be holding her gun-like object in her hands for self defense. Makoto would stay behind Yukari, knowing what would happen next and was prepared for it to happen. Noises would be increasing more and more. "Yukari, be careful there were two shadows. I repeat there were two shadows." rang out on the rooftop. Suddenly the noise gets closer and louder, each passing second as multiple hands grab onto the roof. It climbed up to the roof with multiple hands and legs. Most of the hands would be holding swords while only one held a mask that it would hold in front of its neck where its head would be. Yukari would step in front of Makoto in an attempt to protect them. "Don't worry Makoto, I'll protect you. Just leave this to me." Yukari said about to summon her persona but hesitated for too long as she got slapped aside from the shadow, sending her out of the way on the floor, dropping the Evoker on the ground in front of Makoto who would pick it up and prepare to summon his own persona. Yukari, who was still on the ground, would look at Makoto with confusion as he seemed to copy what she did earlier. Makoto whispers to himself. "Per…So…Na." He pulls the trigger which would summon his persona. It seemed to look like Orpheus but something was different. The Lyre on his back was gold. And his body has hints of gold on it. As well as its body was red and its hair was blonde. But then something came over the shadow. It would start emitting this black aura around it and start charging at Makoto with reckless abandon. This shocks Makoto which lets him get hit by its rush and he gets slammed into the wall. Makoto would then stick his hand out as the Orpheus shaped persona would charge up and blast the shadow with a powerful fire attack that would instantly end it. As Yukari stares at him with absolute shock on her face, and Mitsuru and her crew watching this from the same room from earlier. "I never…seen anything like this in my life… That power… Who is this 'Makoto Yuki'". Makoto hits the ground and faints from the sudden summoning. When Makoto wakes up he finds himself in a familiar place again. The same elevator, the same chair, and the same tall blue clothed person in front of him. "Hello, welcome to the velvet room. Or should I say… Welcome back to the velvet room, Makoto Yuki." Makoto was surprised that Elizabeth remembered him, but chose not to think about it. "Where's Igor?" He said to the eccentric girl who replied. "He is busy with other guests currently and will not be making an appearance to you. You seemed to have unlocked your power earlier than expected" It seemed like Elizabeth doesn't know that Makoto has all his memory from when this happened before. But he thought deeply about the changes with this day, as the shadow attacked one day early and the shadow suddenly got stronger unexpectedly. As he thought this, a ringing sound would be heard. "I see it's time for you to wake up. I'll be here when you need me to help you on your journey." Everything for Makoto would fade out suddenly.
