Persona: Mask of Innocence v.2

"Ramen, huh? Good choice, Arisa." He said as he sat next to her.

 

Arisa smiled and ordered her bowl.

 

Hattori ordered his bowl and waited.

 

Arisa waited and sighed.

 

Hattori leaned over and kissed her.

 

Arisa smiled and kissed him back.

 

Hattori kissed her again as the food was placed in front of them.

 

Arisa began to eat and sighed.

 

"Something wrong?" Hattori asked before he started eating.

 

"While Teddie and I were watching my dream, I was thinking of something." Arisa said. "I probably had that hamlet on when you came to help break me out. But I couldn't see your face......."

 

"I had my face covered so my father wouldn't recognize me. He pulled off my hood though when I was caught."

 

"Though I couldn't see your face, I could feel you're trying to help me. The people who found me said there was a terrible wound to my head and that feeling was gone. I didn't feel it again til again we met face to face."

 

"I couldn't remember you at first when I saw you, but my memories slowly started returning over time."

 

"Now here we are, engaged." Arisa stared at her ring. "It's seemed too good to be real."

"Nothing's too good to be real." Yuki and Ryoji appeared and ordered their own bowls.

 

"I think we were always meant to be together."

 

Yuki smiled. "You probably were, Hattori. You were subjected to horrible things and survived."

 

"So did Arisa. She went through much worse than I did."

 

"And you both have your fair share of scars tattooing your bodies." Yuki looked at them and Arisa remembered what she saw during his match.

 

"I figured I would end up getting some injuries trying to rescue her. I kept thinking to myself that I would endure any pain for her."

 

"My only thought at that time was to escape."
