Seven percent increase in density.
Heart rate confirmed.
Engaging the separation process.
The Persona is part of one's spirit.
It's essentially impossible to separate from the physical body.
Some sacrifices are inevitable... but I've finally found a way.
Collecting A Latents... This has now become something far more significant.

All right. The next test will include everything up to page 103.
What?
Seriously?
There, there. That's it for today.
Ooh, what is it? A date?
With who?
Huh? It's not like that...
Oh, isn't this for the place that closed down recently?
You didn't go to it?
Well... the kid who sold this ticket to me disappeared...
He was happy to be able to play at their last event.
He was supposed to be the opening performance.
What do you mean "disappeared?"
You've heard of the missing kids that were involved in Shadow Extraction, right?
I hope Takashi isn't involved in that, too...
I'm starting to worry about this whole thing.
Takashi? Isn't that who you got into a fight with at the beginning of the school year?
Yeah, Okazaki Takashi.
Okazaki?
He was in my class last year.
He was really good at singing and playing guitar.
Is Okazaki?
Kanzato-kun?
Do you know him, too?
Okazaki Takashi Tasaka Yumi
No... um, I knew a kid with the same name at my old school.
They're probably not the same guy, though...
Hah, it's unlikely.
And I was gonna go listen to his bad singing to show my support...
I'm sure he'll come back soon...
Sure.
What do you think?
I can't really see clearly.
May I?
Right here.
See? Here... Right here. Look.
That's not it.
We already looked there. At the actual scene.
There.
That's...
Make a copy of it.
What? But the Chief said...
Doesn't matter.
Yes, it does.
Just do it. Plus, those two girls in there...
Doesn't matter if they're "frail little girls." Make sure you watch them closely.
I've been on it...
That afro kid and the Chief's brother, too.
What about that... list?
He said he didn't find it.
Of course...
He sure is bad at lying.
Unlike his older brother...
Even though he was bad, he kept singing...
So he got that stuff... You know? Mikorin got it, too.
A polyp?
Yeah, that.
That's as close as he got to being a professional singer.
Are you serious?
Sweet! You owe me a drink.
Man, today isn't my day.
No way. It's all skill.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, an audition was held right after his throat surgery.
It was at this place that's been popular among locals for a long time.
Some pros got their start there, too.
People called that place the Rocker Mecca.
Takashi and his band members dreamed of playing on the stage there, too.
But he was told to refrain from singing for at least a month by the doctor.
I told his band members not to tell Takashi about the audition.
Of course, he found out right away.
"Stop being a fool!"
That's his favorite phrase.
"I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life."
He was furious.
He was right, though.
I thought I was doing good for him, but nobody wants to be lied to.
Only he could decide whether or not he was gonna do it for himself.
I wish he had gotten the chance to sing.
Not that anyone would enjoy listening to him, but...
Okazaki Takashi Tasaka Yumi
Jun...
Jun!
Shin-oniichan.
Where do you think you're going now?
I can feel it.
The sound.
The voice.
It's in pain.
H-hey.
Stop!
Stay here.
But...
Just stay here. I'll be back soon.
Niichan!
What am I doing here?
A theatre?
Well, how did you find this place?
You're not gonna answer me? ...Sure, I understand.
I was rather rude to you when we first met.
It's pretty tough. The new Persona I absorbed just won't calm down.
The original owner had built quite a strong bond here.
I wonder if he wanted to sing a song or something?
Oh, could you have, possibly, known him?
...Are you talking about Okazaki?
Right. That name sounds familiar.
Where is he now?
Who knows? Why don't you ask the police?
That's right. Isn't your brother the Chief Officer?
How do you know that?
I didn't wanna make him suffer too much, but...
Did you kill him... and take it?
I can't take it unless I kill him.
I'm not like you.
Like me?
So, you really do have no idea.
What the hell are you guys!?
Visitors.
Do you wanna come with us?
It'll be fun.
Looks like he's very interested in you, but...
that doesn't matter to me.
I'll peel you completely this time.
Niichan!
Jun!? Why did you follow me!?
Jun! Hey!
Just quiet down.
Jun! Let's go!!
I told you not to come...
I have one inside me, too...
You guys didn't say anything but you both saw it, right?
My Persona.
About that word you asked about, "Marebito"...
The one who holds the truths of mythology and folklore...
It also means Foreign God.
Right... If what you saw is true, that means research is being carried over...
and is being conducted by some organization in secret, even after that incident.
It seemed incomplete, but it was definitely a Complex Persona.
If we trust his words that it's not something we can investigate officially...
The only place I can think of is the Department of the Interior...
Even if we try to take the back gate, it would be difficult...
I need to talk to you about something.
I found a school in Tokyo where they allow mid-year transfers.
Just now...
I... was attacked by some strange people several times.
Those people, with weird things that come out from around here...
It's happened to me, too.
Jun, too. You saw it, right?
My friend might have gotten killed.
That's why...
I told you guys to leave.
It's very similar.
Yeah... but we're missing something.
The Reverse body we always find at scenes like this.
At least no one died this time...
True...
Just the two of them?
Yes. They went to the back of the campus...
Could it be?
Are they going to do it?
It?
I need to stop them, once and for all.
Why is Shadow Extraction-?
Why?
Huh?
Why are you so against Shadow Extraction?
I mean... Is it that bad?
Well... it's really dangerous.
Have you done it before?
Well, umm... Let's just go!
It feels really good...
The hell do you mean, Shin?
I don't just take any jokes, you know?
I'm serious. I saw it.
Saw what?
Take me there!
If you keep saying stuff like that, then-
H-hey, hey!
Hey! What do you think you guys are doing!?
He... He says that Takashi is dead!
What?
Is that true, Kanzato-kun?
Yeah, he's probably already...
You!
I saw a Persona.
...I think it belonged to Okazaki.
What? Persona... is that thing that comes out of your head, right?
Then that means he's still alive...
Not all the time.
You're...
Oh...
Who the hell are you!?
You know...
He was tough at first.
"Stop being a fool!" Or something...
You bastard!
Kanzato-kun!
Run!
No! Takuro!
Sakakiba-kun!
Geez. He was aggressive, too, but that changed real quick.
He ended up crying and begging...
That was pretty "foolish" of him.
You guys are similar, huh?
Now, stand up. Or are you gonna keep sleeping there?
Now's my chance!
That was fun. See ya.
I'm sorry.
Shin... Where is?
...I won't forgive him.
It came out again, huh?
...I forced it out, rather.
I heard the voice...
The painful voice from last night.
It sounded like it was in slightly less agony.
...I see.
...Right. I'm sorry, but keep it up. Please.
I'll make it quick. Just listen to me like this.
We're not gonna leave this place.
How could we? There are so many things we haven't found out...
There are so many that we don't know.
There are some things that you don't need to know.
It's not...
up to you to decide.
That's it.
