ourchoiceMy name is Narukami Yuuki. I’m a seventeen year old and in my second year of high school. I don’t get along with my parents very well because we don’t see each other very often. I’m shipped off around the country to different relatives and rarely do I get to stay at home. I’m plain and I have no friends, because there’s no reason to make friends if I won’t be able to keep in contact with them.
But this year is different. This year, I’m staying with my uncle in a small town. And there are strange things going on. Mysterious murders and nearly falling into a TV and voices in my head. And then there’s that Velvet Room, and now I’m venturing through other worlds with people I’ve met. I can summon something called a Persona now, and it seems I can make more.
This year, it’s strange, but… I’m making friends. We’re exploring the Midnight Channel together to save other people from dying like Yamano-san and Konishi-senpai. We’re becoming closer by the day, and growing stronger for it. Is this what it means to make friends, this warm feeling?
There’s more of us now, and we’re getting closer to the truth. We’re working together to save people, even if another person has died. We have to rescue him, too, because then this will never end. They’ll keep looking for a killer, even if he’s right here in front of us. We fight together, though, and our bonds are strengthening by the day.
Ah, he wasn’t the killer? He was a copycat? Then the truth is still out there. We’ll all find it together, all of us—Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Naoto, Teddie and myself. We’re in this together, and we’ll take down Namatame and save Nanako. That’s what we do, isn’t it?
But now… Nanako is dead. What do we do? Namatame did this. It would be easy, wouldn’t it? Just to throw him in. Send him to face his own Shadow, and let it be done. Then he can’t hurt anyone else. I’m so angry and sad… I wouldn’t have felt this way when I first arrived here, right?
I can’t do it, though. That makes me just like him. I can’t end a life like that. I just can’t. I’m letting you down, Nanako. I can’t take revenge for you. But wait, you’re okay? I’m so glad…! Ouji-san is so happy. I think my heart could burst now. But we still have to find the killer, since it’s not Namatame. The details don’t add up.
What? The killer is… Adachi? The guy we thought was a bumbling detective who couldn’t keep a lid on the case is…? …We’ll take him down, even if it takes us awhile. Even though we got stuck for a good while in this strange place resembling Inaba. We reach him, and then we take him down.
He was possessed!? We just have to take down this Ameno-sagiri, too. We’ll rid the world of the fog that will turn everyone into Shadows! And you’ll come back with us, too, Adachi. Even if you’re a killer, you don’t deserve this fate. So we’ll turn you in, and then everything will be okay, right?
Ah, my year is almost up. I’ve made so many friends. Maybe I should say good-bye to all of them, even though it hurts. We meet at Junes and we talk, and then we realize something. Maybe it’s not as over as we thought. I ask Ouji-san and Nanako-chan about it, and… That’s right, I felt sick after talking to that attendant at the gas station. Isn’t he only there when it rains? Maybe I’ll ask Igor and Margaret if they know anything…
He was the one behind it all. He is Izanagi, and he waits for us in the Midnight Channel. So we all go, one last time, into the other world where we track him down. He’s powerful, it doesn’t seem like we can do anything! Wait, what is he doing!? Is he—
I’m dying, I think. No, I’m being erased. I won’t even exist in the afterlife. I can feel myself fading, disappearing. I can’t stand anymore. Is can barely feel my own body. I’m sorry, Nanako, Ouji-san, friends. Maybe we couldn’t beat him after all. Maybe we were doomed from the start.
I hear a voice. No, I hear multiple voices. I hear all of my friends, calling out to me through the connection in our hearts. I stand tall, sheer will reversing the erasure. He’s surprised, I can tell, but I don’t care. It’s time to end this! I throw off my glasses and call for Izanami-no-okami, transfigured into a more powerful form through my bonds with everyone. And with one move, I end it. Izanagi is finished, and fate is in our hands now.
It’s time for good-bye. It’s very tearful, but we all promise to see each other again and remain friends. I’ll visit Inaba when I get the chance, and I’ve decided to come back once I’m done with school. As I ride the train back to the city, my friends race along the platform, all in tears as we part ways. Even as the distance grows, though, I feel warmth in my chest and wetness on my cheeks. I can’t help by smile.
My name is Narukami Yuuki. I’m an eighteen year old about to begin my third year of high school. I think I’ll try getting along with my parents better, even though we don’t see each other a lot. I’m often shipped around from family member to family member, but I don’t think I mind so much anymore. I’m plain but I have lots of friends, because even if we don’t see each other a lot, what matters is that we share an unbreakable bond.
And in the end, isn’t that what truly matters?
