Persona: Mask of Innocence

"Talk to Igor last night?"

"Yeah, said the wild card will appear to me only at the right time."

"I see."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suki took a breath and sang, "Far below the city's glow, lie the flowers blooming in the shadows. They comfort me, saving me from all I see."

 

Hattori began meditating.

"Why am I meditating again?"

"To clear your mind."

"Why?"

"I'm not going into that."

"Why not? Did one of my dreams freak you out?"

"Shut up, Hattori."

 

He smiled and closed his eyes, resting his head on her shoulder.

 

Shinji then stood up a shis uniform was kinda creasted and his hair, in a mess. "Thank goodness no-onne's down yet" he thought to himself and he ruffled his hair a bit and yawned again.

 

Arisa looked at her clothes. "Hospital clothes is all I have?"

"The doctors had to undress you and took your avenge clothes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suki continued, "Then you came with eyes of pain, haunting blue and gentle, like a spring rain. Silently beckoning for a love to cease your inner tears."

 

He smiled wider and put his other arm around her waist, hugging her.

 

Suki smiled and continued, "I belong here with you, though the earth cries inside me.I will fly high into the storm, far from the light. I will be strong! Because they need you...... Because I love you........"

 

Ovan fell asleep again.

 

Nakim noticed the sun rising.

"Stop meditating, Hattori. We'll train when you get a break at school."

"Whatever. I wish you'd make up your mind, Nakim. I'd better get started on breakfast."

 

Suki sighed as she sang the next part, "You close your eyes now..... I will be gone......... But my love for you will go on......." And she played a bit.

 

Ovan continued to sleep, snuggling up to her.

 

"Hattori, I don't think the others would appreciate you walking around in your boxers."

"I kind of figured that." He said as he threw a robe on.

 

Shinji headed to the kitchen and opene dthe fridge and saw soem milk and got it out and poured a glass of milk and put the milk back and drank it until ti was empty and washed it.

"Awake now?" Kumoi asked him.

"Half awake, you know much I hate the mornings, at least you didn't wake me up this time."

"true, but Hattori and Nakim are outside, doign their own thing and you only just got up, I wonder if that girl's awake."

"She might be or might not, you'd never know until you find out when she comes downstairs." Shinji then turned on the water and splashed cold water in his face to wake himself up fully and dried off with a hand-towel.

 

Arisa walked downstairs, rubbing her eyes. "Morning....."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Darkest skies, hollow eyes...... But the stars burn brighter than you realize. It may be destiny that sheds our tears," Suki continued.

 

He loosened the hug and started falling back.

 

Rydia caught him before he fell to the ground.

 

"I meant put some clothes on, genius. It'll save you some time getting ready for school."

"You're such a nag, Nakim." Hattori said before taking off the robe and quickly putting on his school uniform.

"There, happy? Now I don't want to hear another word out of you."

"You're so cranky in the morning, Hattori."

"It's 'cause I haven't had my coffee."

 

Shinji notcied Arisa come downstairs and smiled. "Good morning Arisa-chan." he said to her kindly. "What would you like for breakfast?" he asked her.

 

He woke up and asked her "What are you doing?"

 

"Anything is alright with me." She took a can of soda out and drank a bit, then let out a belch. "Excuse me. Hey, do you have any clothes I could wear?"

"That was a nice one."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Making sure you don't fall. Suki would probably be worried."
