The Sound Of Approaching Feet--

[thalassino]

And then, suddenly--

The elevator was open, lights in the Station Master's house warm and inviting. Suddenly there he was, grinning once more, offering rides once again. He says nothing of the situation, nothing except, with a grin-- "The rain is gone."

That means it's safe to go up.

The ride up is silent, swift, but once up--

SilenceIt is

[twiceinhabited]

[She's wrapping her arms around herself, looking very, very uncertain and fearful.

She failed. Either Jezebel will devour her soul, or Katsu will take the demon away to for the power to fight--kill--the Lord.

She can't seem to hear Remiel's words, to bring her back to her senses. But Jezebel's laughter is loud and clear.

'Amane! Stand strong!'
'Ahahahahah! Look at the venerable maiden!']

[twiceinhabited]

It's our...my fault we have the ordeal so soon and I have Jezebel inside my soul for it because I needed her help.

[Risking herself for what she believed to be the only way, taking down a Deva for demonic power against the ordeal.]

Now...she's recovering her strength and will eventually swallow me. Or defeated by Katsu, but...

[lunateclock]

[........He doesn't understand completely still, but...he pauses and then he goes with his gut, because that's all he can do now.]

...Kuzuryu-san...there's no reason to be so hard on yourself. You've only done what you thought is right, isn't that so?

[twiceinhabited]

Yes...but if I hear Remiel earlier, I might've change Father's mind sooner.

[lunateclock]

...Amane.

[He shakes his head slowly, reaching out to her.]

That's not true. We can think of the what-ifs forever...but the truth is that you tried to do what you could. That's all anyone can ask of you. I appreciate what it is you've done.

[twiceinhabited]

I...

[She heard people expressing their gratitude before. But those are from her relief and rescue work, not what she done many months ago. It was a secret within the cult, until people start snooping.]

I tried so hard, Arisato.

[lunateclock]

[He's quiet for a moment.

And then...]

You made a difference.

[twiceinhabited]

[She's quiet, looking at her hands.]

[lunateclock]

[And so, quietly, he reaches for one.]

Amane-san.

Listen to me. You haven't failed.

[twiceinhabited]

[A flinch, before she relax and look up at he use her given name.]

...What can I do?

[lunateclock]

[...]

All you can do is your best. No more and no less.

That will be enough.

[twiceinhabited]

...I just hope Katsu will do the right thing.

[Please don't harm innocent people.]

[lunateclock]

...Then let's have faith in him.

You've done your part; you should be proud of that, at least.

BEST WAY TO GET NEW CR, REALLY

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ... What on EARTH is Artemis... sensing? Is that--this girl... something's beyond wrong, and it isn't just whatever they did to her.

Maya is on guard of course, her pistols at the ready. ]

Hey... hey, are you okay?

[ This... felt a lot like a demon, but she couldn't be sure. There was something else, too, huh? ]

OF COURSE

[twiceinhabited]

[It's the first time they sense an holy presence, isn't it?]

I'm...I'm not.

[She clutch her sleeve rope.]

Amaneeee ;^;

[dualpinkpistols]

[ Maya is quiet. ]

Hey. You're going to be okay, alright? Whatever they did to you... we can help. We should get you back with the others--

[ A pause, a beat. ... Holy, like... like a Justice demon... like an Angel? ... An Angel, and a demon, and then a girl... what on earth was going on in her body? ]

Hey, my Persona... you've got three people in there, right? Which one am I talking to?
