Persona - Mask of Origins

Toya watched the news of his room. "The rumors are true, then."

 

"There's got to be some way to keep you from doing this again."

 

He shook his head, "I don't know. I'm so new to this. You think anybody else suspects it was me who killed them?" Orphan rolled his sharp blue eyes and slithered back into Zain.

 

"I hope not. It won't be safe for you outside if anyone does."

 

Zain sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "Then I guess I have to pretend to be all happy and stuff." he gave her a smile, his small fangs poking out only slightly and ate the breakfast she brought home for him.

 

"I can have Lucifer put that illusion on you now if you want."

 

Toya saw the strange door again and entered it, finding Igor and Elizabeth waiting for him.

 

Zain swallowed and nodded, "Thanks, Yuki. I owe you big time."

 

Yuki summoned Lucifer and he put the illusion on him. He also taught Zain how to control the illusion, since it was independant from Yuki's.

 

Zain touched his teeth, "Good, now no one has to look at what a freak I've become." Orphan laughed, "Oh now that would be quite fun, Zain. Everyone would leave you alone finally. I'm more worried about the shadows. If they come back for you, what other harm could they do to you."

 

"That's a good point. We've got to find some way to stop them."

 

"Hmm, I'd say I just shouldn't go out alone at dark, but I like being alone." Orphan hissed, "I could help you if only training would go a bit further."

 

"Orphan's right. You have been falling behind on your training a bit. Me and Sakuya have slacked off on training as well."

 

"Hmph, what else could we learn?" He doubted there was more but Orphan seemed to know something.

 

"I haven't the slightest clue."

 

Zain stood, "You think Toya or Sakuya know?"

 

"It's worth a shot, I guess."

 

Zain nodded and grabbed Yuki's hand, "Well c'mon, lets go ask. Surely somebody's gotta know. I've gotta keep this...shadow part of me locked up. I refuse to hurt anyone anymore. Because....what if the next person is you, Yuki...I'd hate myself if I hurt you."

 

Yuki nodded and walked with him.

"I'm sure Toya and Sakuya are still hanging out."

 

"So, Igor, what do you want?" Toya asked. Igor smiled, "To help you on your journey, Toya."
