Character: Amada Ken
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 wiki
Character Age: 11 years old
Canon: Welcome to the world of Persona 3, the quasi-dating sim where kids shoot themselves in the head to summon giant monsters with special abilities that fight dangerous creatures known as "Shadows". These Shadows are intent on preying on humanity, inflicting their victims with "Apathy Syndrome", a condition that causes people to sit around in an emotionless, catatonic state. The Shadows only come out during the Dark Hour--a hidden extra hour of the day that comes around at the stroke of midnight. Most people don't know about this time of the day, which is where the kids come in, under the guise of a group called SEES (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad). But wouldn't you know it, even secretly saving humanity can't keep them from being required to go to school during the day.
Take one look at Ken, the youngest member of SEES, and what you'd see is a polite, well-spoken, and respectful young man. In other words, he's someone who acts a little too mature for his age and probably needs to learn how to play outside and be a normal kid. And while all of this is certainly true, it's only half the story. Ken is gung ho, always willing and eager to fight, and has a spear and a few anger management issues to help him along. Although Ken joined SEES voluntarily, his reasons weren't exactly benign. As a result, he can be a little psychotic sometimes, but it doesn't seem to slow him down. Hey, we all have our issues, right?

Well, that's different. I've heard of "gazing at the moon" before, but I've never heard of it gazing back at you.
...To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what it was I was expecting when I heard that the moon was unusual here, but this wasn't it. I can't even explain it as a blue moon--no one could call a smile like that "depressed". How does anyone manage to sleep at night with it smiling like that? Although if the rumours are true, I suppose sleep might be the last thing on anyone's mind. ...I'm sorry, I'm probably not making much sense, am I? It's just that from what I've heard, the phases of the moon can have a pretty big impact on people. And there's a lot going on around here, right? There's viruses and diseases that you can't find anywhere else... You know, kind of like Apathy Syndrome? Only I guess it's mutated somehow. The closest version I've heard about is some sort of Saturday Night Fever that causes people to move around like they're dancing.
I thought I might have run into a case of Saturday night fever earlier, actually. You see, I was hoping to ask a few questions about those rumours, so I tried asking some people in leisure suits I found earlier. They weren't interested in answering questions, though--they said that they just wanted me for my brains. You would think that they would ask someone about their grades before making statements like that. Either way, they were very persistent about this whole brains thing--it was the only thing they would talk about, so I figured I should probably just move on. The thing is, though, that they tried to follow me, and that's when I noticed the way they were moving.
Actually, it didn't look much like they were dancing to me, but it did seem to explain the strange, stilted way they were moving while they were walking towards me. I managed to get away from them, but it required some effort on my part. I'm not much of a dancer, but I thought it might be a good way to get away from them unnoticed. Apparently they're not very good at it, either, because they fell to pieces during the limbo. Unfortunately, I mean that literally. I've never met real zombies before... I guess it was more of a thriller night than Saturday Night Fever, after all.
Since I couldn't get anything out of them, there's just a few things I'd like to ask you about, if you don't mind. I'd like to try to understand what's going on around here, like if there are any other effects of the fever, so perhaps I can recognize it properly next time. I'd also like to know exactly how widespread it is within this camp, and if there's anything else I should be aware of. --What do you mean, I can't submit this without talking about how violent I am on a scale of one to ten? This doesn't involve my "serious pole". Strange, I'm pretty sure that I've never heard that name used for a spear before.
