Persona: Mask of Innocence

"At the rate she's going though it'll be filled up in no time."

 

"Nee-chan, you forgot Judgement in the list." Suki said, Arisa smiled and nodded.

 

"I bet her deck is further along than Shinji's is."

 

"Shinji didn't get a deck." Arisa said.

 

"I figured all wild cards got a deck. I guess only the primary card gets it."

 

Ryoji smiled. "Lets wait for Shinji." Arisa started to walk off, "You all stay here and wait for Shinji. I'm..... going out. By myself."

 

"I'm gonna go wandering too. Need to clear my head."

 

Arisa walked back to the graveyard and knelt before her parents' grave, silently asking them to forgive her.

 

Hattori flew around town, taking in the night air.

 

Arisa started to cry, remembering their deaths and how she tried to protect Suki from the shadows.

 

Hattori landed and sat against a tree, thinking about his power.

It's strange having this power now. It's like the life I lived before my power manifested was all a lie....

 

Arisa remembered the pain of having the Death shadow injected in her by Hattori's dad. 'That madman didn't care at all about what happened to me. He was hoping for the creation of the perfect killing machine.

 

I wonder how many more died because of my father.....

 

Arisa sighed and felt her parents' forgiveness on her.

 

Hattori got up and started to fly off. A dart shot into his arm and he fell to the ground.

"Target captured. Returning to the lab."

I've got to tell the others.

Ares took off to find the others.

 

Arisa felt something and called to Ares. Ares, what happened?!

I hope it's not what I believe it is.

Arisa, hurry to the others, quickly!

 

"Some people from the lab have captured Hattori. There's no telling what they intend to do to him."

 

Arisa flew back to the others. "Hattori've been captured! We're heading to the lab!" She called Seth and everyone took on him. Aigis swallowed and turned to Josh. "I hope he's alright."

 

"So do I." he said, holding her hand.

 

Hattori slowly woke up and found himself strapped to a table.

"Where am I?"

"You're in my lab, son."

"Son? No, it couldn't be..."

Hattori turned his head and saw his father.

"Father?! You're supposed to be dead!"

"I'm afraid the one you and your freak girlfriend killed my stand-in."

"Don't you ever talk about her like that, you scumbag!"
