Persona 3/Persona 4: Mask of Existence

"Morooka, about that comment of Aigis. If the mighty Kirijo Group has fallen, then its competitor and companion, the Suzuhara Company has fallen as well." Arisa said, giving Aigis a comforting smile.

 

"You brats...hmph, let's start the lesson before I get anymore ticked off." He grunted as he begun the leasson as a student whispered. "Wow...twice in a row, who would of thought? Although, he had it coming."

Shinichi breathed in as he sighed. "What an annoyance he is, I honestly find my programming job more fun."" He thought to himself.

 

Arisa just listened to the lesson.

 

The other did as well until the afternoon when an annoucement came on telling all students to head into teh assembly for an improtant annoucement.

 

Arisa and the others walked to the assembly for the announcement.

 

People were gossiping about something as Souji ntoiced everyone he knew but Yukiko wasn't in the hallway as Shinichi has hands in pockets.

"I wonder why they are holding a school assembly so suddenly, it must be very important to interupt the classes." He said in a low voice as Junpei looked at Yosuke. "Dude, what's wrong?" as Yosuke remained slient and looked at Junpei.

"Oh, it's nothing..." he said as he looked ahead to see a teacher nanouce the assembly was about to start as the Principal stepped forward, he looked lik an elderly old man with a long white beard, he could be passed off as Dumbledore if given enough time to grow it.

"I...regret to say I have an terrible annoucement for you all, one of our thired-year students, Ms. Saki Konshii of Class 3...has passed away." he said solemnly, earning surprised looks from the students.

 

Arisa looked at Yosuke, realizing why he was so down.

 

"Ms. Konshii was found decreased early this morning...The reasons behind her passing are currently being investigated by the police, if they ask you for your cooperation, I urge you as students of this school to only provide the facts...now please quiet down I heve been assured by the factuly that there's no evidence that bullying was involved in the incident. So mind what you say, not only to the police but anyone who asks..." he said as he continued talking.

 

Ryoji sighed and stretched his head, Arisa looked at him. "You okay, Ryoji?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I know I had a weird dream last night." Yukari sighed.

 

The assembly soon finished as everyone was permitted to return to their classes as two girls were talking but Souji caught something. "Someone said someone looked like Saki on that Midnight Channel thingie, they said she looked like she was in pain, Isn't that scary?"

 

Ryoji groaned and held his head, Arisa took him to the nurse's office.

 

Akihiko stared at the girl. "It's easy to toss around rumors if you aren't personally involved." he commented as Yosuke approached them

"Hey...Did you guys check the TV last night?" Yosuke asked the group.

 

Yukari and Fuuka nodded. "Ryoji looked pretty sick while we're watching. He should have at the inn today."

 

Yosuke looked at Fuuka and Aigis. "I think that girl was...Saki-senpai, she looekd like she was writhing in pain and she just disappeared from the screen...Senpai's body was found in simliar sitatuon as that Yamano lady....Remember how eh was all excited about her being his soulmate? Maybe...just maybe...but." Yosuke trailed off as Shinichi picked it up easily.

"You think Mayumi Yamano was on the Midnight Channel before her death...meaning...people who appear on the TV...die." He concluded as Yosuke looked at him.

"I can't say for sure, but I can't dismiss it as coincidence, plus remember what that bear said that we should leave before the fog clears and how someone is throwing people in there along with that room full of cut-out posters? Don't you think there's a connection there?" he asked.

 

Fuuka gulped, Aigis shook. "Who knows?" Arisa and Ryoji walked up.

 

"If there is a connection, it would be a good bet that teh two fo them went inside that world, that would explain the poster's in the room, so which means, we might find something that has to do with Senpai there. I'm thinking about going back in that world again...I want to find out for myself." he stated.

 

"We're going with you." Arisa said, Ryoji nodded. Yukari smiled and took her hand. "We're all going."

 

Chie spoke about the police as Yosuke looked at her. "They haven't made any progress on Ms. Yamano's case! Do you think they'd believe us if there's a world inside a TV!?" he asked her and calmed down. "I just...need to knwo why Senpai had to die liek this." he said and looked at Souji.

"Sorry...but you're the only person who can help me get into that world, meet up with me in Junes everyone." He said as he ran off without a word.

"Well, we better go and do as he says, otherwise, who knows what he'll do." Shinichi said.

 

"No kidding......" Arisa sighed.

 

Shinichi scratched his head and walked outside to get on his motorcycle as he started up the engine and pulle dteh seat open to get out a helmet as Souji looked at it.

"Doesn't it get annoying to ride it?" He asked as he noticed something, there was a spare helmet inside and if he looked at the scooter, there was room for another passenger

"Sort of but what can you do to get around town?" he asked and Souji nodded. "You coudl take soemone with you and keep Yosuke company until the others arrive." He noted.

"That depends on who would want to ride with me and doesn't get scared too easily, not to mention do exactly as I say when riding."
