Persona: Mask of Innocence

Ovan and Josh wrote more notes on a seperate peice of paper.

 

'The teacher wonders but she doesn’t ask. It’s hard to see the pain behind the mask. Bearing the burden of a secret storm, sometimes she wishes she was never born. Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise above. But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved.' Almost immediately, Suki realized what Arisa was getting at in the song. The abuse she suffered at the lab from the scientists.

 

Hattori realized what the meaning of the song was and cursed his father.

 

'Concrete Angel. Somebody cries in the middle of the night. The neighbors hear, but they turn out their light. A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate. When mornin’ comes it’ll be too late. Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise above. But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved. Concrete Angel.' Arisa continued to sing as the memories flooded her mind.

 

Hattori continued to listen

 

'A statue stands in a shaded place. An angel girl with an upturned face. A name is written on a polished rock. A broken heart that the world forgot. Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise above. But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved. Concrete Angel.' Arisa bowed and walked off.

 

Hattori clapped loudly again before the announcer called the remaining contestants.

 

Ovan and Josh wrote notes for all the contestants.

 

Arias took a quick glance at her scars and sighed, listening to the rest of the contastants.

 

Once the last of the contestants was finished, everyone waited for the judges to announce a winner.

 

Suki and Arisa waited for the final result.

 

Josh and Ovan looked over their notes.

 

Arisa sighed and Suki just smiled at her. Aigis and the rest waited for the judges.

 

Hattori figured it would be between Arisa and Suki. The rest of the contestants couldn't compare to the two of them.

 

They discussed it and Ovan wrote Suki's name on a piece of paper, handing it to the announcer.

 

Arisa patted Suki's shoulder, for encouragment.

 

The announcer read the decision and announced that Suki was the winner.

 

Suki smiled and ran out on stage, bowing at the crowd.

 

Hattori clapped for her as the announcer handed her the trophy.

 

Ovan and Josh both clapped.
