Persona: Mask of Innocence

Hattori leaned in and deeply kissed her.

 

"Don't mommy that hurts! You're hurting me mommy! I don't want to die!" he screamed, still tossing and turning.

 

Arisa kissed him back.

Aigis sighed. Athena, is he alright?

He just appeared to having a bad dream, Aigis.

 

Hattori drifted off to sleep.

 

He screamed loudly and sat up, in a cold sweat.

 

"Josh-kun, are you alright?" Aigis hugged him.


Arisa fell asleep as well and explored Hattori's mind again.

 

He was breathing heavily and said "I just remembered something about my past."

 

Hattori dreamed about watching Arisa sing in concert.

 

Arisa watched the concert and herself.


"Why don't you tell me?"

 

Hattori smiled as he watched her.

 

"Well, I think I used to live with my mother. Then one day she found out I was a persona user. She took a kitchen knife and tried to kill me. I was 6 at the time."

 

Arisa noticed the crowd was huge. Okay, I hope I'm not this popular.


Aigis sighed and hugged him back.

 

He hugged her back, crying. "I can't remember the rest, all I know is that I was in pretty bad shape and almost dead."

 

Fans can be pretty annoying. Why do you think I tried to stay out of the spotlight?

 

Yeah. I can see why.

Aigis sighed, holding him.

 

He kept crying. "I'm afraid." he said.

 

"No one's going to get you, Josh-kun." Aigis said.

 

At the end of the concert, Hattori saw himself sneak Arisa out the backstage door.

At least I've got enough sense to keep you from getting mauled by adoring fans.

 

"That's not why I'm afraid." he said. "I'm afraid I killed my mother."

 

Yeah, so we can get some alone time.


"Oh.........." Aigis sighed.
