Persona: Mask of Innocence v.2

OOC: well, Aerith will find out when she gets there

Shinji saw Arisa coem on and waited.

 

ooc: Don't worry, I'm not giving any spoilers.

bic: Hattori smiled as he waited for Arisa.

 

OCC: Thanks, guys. Now I'm more curious!

'I know that you're hiding things using gentle words to shelter me. Your words were like a dream. But dreams could never fool me, not that easily. I acted so distant then. Didn't say goodbye before you left, but I was listening. You fight your battles far from me, far too easily.' Arisa sang. Ryoji sat back and listened.

 

I wonder what the song is about...

 

Shinji eyes widened again. "Well wel.....1000 words now?" he was surprired but listened.

 

Hattori smiled as he listened.

 

'"Save your tears cause I'll come back" I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door. But still I swore to hide the pain, when I turn back the pages. Shouting might have been the answer. What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart? But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart.' Arisa smiled, her mind filled with memories of Minato that Orpheus gave her.

 

Hattori was surprised by the song.

 

Shinji spoke up for Hattori to hear. "1000 words...the song which cannot describe the many feelings within you as that person waits for her true love to return so she can express true feelings."

 

'Though a thousand words have never been spoken. They'll fly to you, crossing over the time and distance holding you, suspended on silver wings.' Arisa almost seem to feel the presence of another person with her.

 

I hope she's not trying to tell me something through this song....

 

Shinji listened more.

 

'And a thousand words. One thousand confessions will cradle you, making all of the pain you feel seem far away. They'll hold you forever.' As Arisa sang, Ryoji smiled.

'Maybe, she's just trying if you two are far apart, your feelings for each other will always be with you.' He whispered.

 

"I hope so. I wouldn't know what to do if she told me she didn't love me."

 

SHinji smiled. "Come on, you two are engaged, of course she still loves you." he said to him

 

'The dream isn't over yet. Though I often say I can't forget, I still relive that day. You've been there with me all the way. I still hear you say, "Wait for me, I'll write you letters" I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor. But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages. Anger might have been the answer. What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait? But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late.' Arisa sang, smiling as she remembered her time with Hattori.

 

"Yeah, you're right. I'm worrying over nothing."

 

Shinji nodded and watched Arisa sing more.

 

Hattori smiled again as he watched her sing.

 

'Cause a thousand words call out through the ages. They'll fly to you. Even though I can see, I know they are reaching you, suspended on silver wings.' Arisa sang and smiled. Ryoji smiled.
