U-um, are you all ri-!?
I-It hurts!! U-um, are you all ri-!?
Wha...what's wrong with you!?
...It's gone.
...Extract it.
Wh-what the hell is that!?

We've got Yuji.
...No. We've yet to collect Tasaka Yumi's Persona.
He ran into that officer.
Yes... I understand.
He got away.
He's Special A. His powers are innate.
Since he saw us, we should take his as soon as we can. I'll handle that officer.
He's from the Ayanagi Police, right? Remember what he looks like?
It... it really came out...
This is ridiculous.
Seriously... Who were they?
What was that?
Oh, it's getting late... I better go wake him up...
Niichan, you're gonna be late.
You'll be sore if you sleep on the floor like that.
That dream again?
Y-yeah! But, it came out for real!
From my head, or my back... I mean, from inside...
Like, booooom!
Did you win this time?
What? Y-yeah... Then some lady started chasing me.
She flew through the sky, like, zoom! And...
You should go wash your face and wake up.
You're late.
I'm sorry. I'll get up earlier tomorrow.
We should take turns doing chores since we're living together.
Like, grocery shopping and cooking... You know, like one of those shows...
I don't watch TV. I wouldn't know.
Huh? Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
I've done all the paperwork for your school.
But you both should leave this place soon.
Hey! Aniki!
Wait! Why do we have to leave our own house!?
Not the house. This town.
W-wait! ...Why!?
Oh... Is it about your girlfriend?
We'll just go out whenever you bring her over!
Hey! Aniki!
What's wrong with him?
He's up!
Kanzato-kun? Kanzato Shin-kun?
You okay? You're at school.
Naginomori High School, 2-A.
Crap. Is math class first?
It's already lunch time.
What!? Have I been?
You sleep pretty heavily. Even the teacher was almost impressed.
Did you bring lunch?
Oh. No...
You should hurry to the cafeteria, then.
Oh, it might be better to just go to the snack stand now.
Oh, oh... Thanks. Where is it?
Oh, right... Fine. I'll take you there.
Um... What is it?
Have we... met somewhere before? Um... What is it?
Have we... met somewhere before?
Aww, stop! I've never had anyone do this...
I mean, who says stuff like that nowadays!?
No, seriously...
Gimme your e-mail address.
Hold on!
You won't find the pastries you want at the stand now, new kid.
Y'know, you've got some nerve...
Who cares, Takuro?
Listen... Who gives out her e-mail address to some stranger?
He's my classmate.
But! It took you so long to give it to me!
Um... Sakakiba-kun...
Shut up! What now!?
Oh... Morimoto...
U-um... They're...
Seniors?
What do you guys need?
Don't! It's probably Shadow Extraction again.
We're told not to do it. It's dangerous.
Be quiet. Who cares?
I'm not gonna help you if anything happens.
You've heard about the missing kids, right?
Just don't do it! Sorry, she can get annoying like this sometimes.
Shadow Extraction?
...We will devote ourselves to this investigation and use all the power we have...
Do they really think this scripted speech will reassure the victims' family members!?
Mr. Ito, please restrain yourself.
You may be excused.
However...
Understood.
I already know...
they're never gonna get better.
They'll continue to get weaker until their bodies just give up and die.
Each student you ordered to be taken into protective custody has been attacked.
By some... unknown power...
Following your vague orders blindly, four of my members have turned into zombies...
Apathy Syndrome is what you guys like to call it.
Do we not have the right to know the truth, Chief?
Isn't there anything we can do to help?
No.
So you just used the people you found useless as your little chess pieces.
I'd like to prevent any more casualties.
We'll take care of the rest...
The hell you will!
If you're gonna keep flaunting your authority in our faces, then I've got a plan, too.
I'm glad Tasaka Yumi regained consciousness.
However, even if she seems to have recovered from the shock,
she will keep suffering from severe PTSD.
She's wounded from the forced extraction of her Persona.
It isn't possible to regain her A Latency ever again.
Please, give her your best care. I'll do anything to help.
Yeah...
That's him. No doubt.
He pulls out a crazy one.
The chief of police? What a surprise.
He looks young... Twenty-seven, maybe twenty-eight.
In that case... Interesting...
The officials are trying to protect some of the students on our list.
...Whether attempted or carried out, none of these incidents have been made public.
It would be a waste if we just extract and kill him.
I'll have to talk to Kujo-san about this.
Going on a date with the inspector?
I wonder if they're going to look at last night's Reverse victim?
Narasaki, trail the Chief starting today.
Should we really go that far?
I'll pay you for the overtime.
Any more problems?
Fine...
It's the same again.
A gruesome inside-out corpse.
I'd like to take a look anyway.
I don't mind, but...
Anything on the Toyama Bay incident?
Who told you about that?
They disappeared, right?
The crew members on the submarine.
I'm just interested.
Humans vanishing in a closed space, underwater.
In a way, that's the best definition of an unnatural death.
That's inappropriate to say.
It's a professional observation.
I haven't heard anything else about it.
I see...
It hasn't changed since ten years ago.
...You're right.
Aren't you gonna live with them?
Your brothers. Isn't it about time?
I wouldn't say we're family.
Especially, just with brothers...
You don't want them to live in this town?
That was my intention.
Thank you!
Why did you try to run away?
Because I did that to them. They won't leave me alone.
Did you beat them up?
No. I just did a quick Shadow Extraction on them.
They promised to give me a Makorin figure if I did it.
Isn't that the thing Kayano-san was warning you about?
Yeah... I mean, it's not too different from drugs.
Drugs?
It's something like it.
It just became popular recently. I guess it helps relieve stress.
I wasn't interested at first...
But when I tried it on other people, they told me I was really good.
Now people come ask me to do it to them from time to time.
What about those missing kids?
Oh... I guess there were a few other kids who were good, too...
but they up and vanished or something...
Megumi's just worried I'll disappear and she would actually miss me.
Hey, why don't you try Shadow Extraction out on me?
What? No way. It's sort of creepy.
Everything'll be fine!
Where does that confidence come from?
Besides, I don't even know how...
It's easy. I'll teach you.
Like this?
Just a little more... Yeah...
Like that... Good.
And keep it just like that.
I'm ready.
Th-this again!
Can we try again?
What!?
You saw that awesome thing come out, too, right!?
Unbelievable...
C'mon, I'm begging you. Once more.
No way.
Why not?
Because... It's too dangerous!
No fun.
Geez, who cares? It's not like he loses anything...
Too dangerous? It's my body...
Hey, Morimoto.
Sakakiba-kun...
What's up? What are you doing here?
U-um, I have a favor to ask...
Um, well...
Will you...
Do Shadow Extraction on me?
...What?
I've been interested since the beginning of freshman year.
I've wanted you to do it to me for a long time...
Ugh... S-sure... Real quick, then.
Thank you!
But this isn't a good place to!
Oh, Takuro?
M-Megumi!
Um, well, you know? Yeah, dinner!
We were talking about getting dinner together!
Dinner? I'll come, too!
I didn't realize you two were close...
Well... U-um...
Well, no! We aren't...
Good job, Takuro!
It's not like that! Why would you come along if you thought it was!?
Oh yeah. Should we get Kanzato-kun, too?
Niichan, what are you doing here?
Jun... the same to you. Isn't this out of your way from school?
I wanted to explore the town.
How's your new school?
It's just the first day. It's not much different from anywhere else.
That was good!
Yeah... You sure did eat a lot.
You don't have to try to impress us. We can split the cost!
S-sure...
Hey, do you guys wanna go in there?
This place has the best honey toast!
You're gonna eat more?
You low-life!
You saw that, huh?
Sorry... I should've kept it to myself.
No, it's fine.
He hurt one of my friends, and I couldn't take it.
Not that I was able to get him back after all.
You're such a man...
I'm a girl.
Yeah, I know...
You're awesome, Megumi-san!
All right!
I gotta go to the bathroom.
Oh, me too.
Hey, Shin, let's do Shadow Extraction now.
Anyway, what was that? It came out of you, too.
Morimoto-san, I heard you do Shadow Extraction a lot.
You should be careful.
I know... But for some reason, I...
No, it's nothing.
I'm getting... sleepy...
Are you all right?
Yeah...
You girls wanna do Shadow Extraction?
Sto-!!
...Persona.

Suppression. Liberation.
A vivid dream in-between.
Another mask is peeled free.
Bursting flames under the name of enforcement.
A spiritual sword ends the forced stagnation.
A deep sleep. Desiring a connection.
