Restaurant Bamboo.
The waitress working from 5pm each Thursday is really cute!
All right, come in.
There's no doubt.
Let's break in.
Are we really gonna do this, Megumi?
Why don't we talk to them first?
That won't be enough!
Depending on how they wanna handle this, we might have to use your Personas!
Hey now!
We're talking about a group of kids regularly abusing Shadow Extraction.
We better catch their leader, Mori, and put them in their place!
What do you think?
Oh boy.
Where is Mori!?
I have the advantage!
I want more!
Kanaru!
Why'd you stop?

I couldn't control myself...
I vowed to myself this was gonna be the last time...
I was really gonna stop after that one time...
But...
Our friendship is over the next time you do it.
Megumi, why do you get so upset about it?
I know too much isn't good, but it's fine to relax once in a while.
Once in a while? Relax?
Did she look like she was just "relaxing" earlier?
W-well, of course, that was a little different...
Forming a secret club and doing it with a bunch of random people?
Honestly, it's beyond abnormal!
I'm... sorry...
Kanaru...
Yes, that's right.
Yes... yes...
8 o'clock at Bamboo, near the highway, right? ...Sure.
I'm going home now.
Wait a second!
What was that call about?
That was a Shadow Extraction invite...
Kanaru!
I turned down their offer.
So there are people outside of school you perform Shadow Extraction with, too?
Yes...
Why?
Kayano is very worried about you...
I'm aware of that...
Sometimes, I realize I'm standing in the middle of an unfamiliar place.
Or wake up in my bed, even though I don't remember going to sleep.
These things keep happening to me...
Sorry about the interruption earlier. Let's meet somewhere else now!
Oh, it's from my mother.
You should really stop.
It might not be related at all, but when I first transferred to the school,
there were a bunch of kids who went missing...
I know... They were all good at Shadow Extraction.
I had them do it to me, too.
Sakakiba-kun's friend, Okazaki-kun, and Tasaka Yumi-senpai, too...
I'm getting off here.
You live around here?
No, I need to go to a store...
I see...
Kanzato-kun, this...
Good Health Kanzato-kun, this...
Good Health
Mayuri-chan gave it to me, and I had forgotten to give it back to you.
See you...
Morimoto.
You're not going to go see the kids from the Shadow Extraction Circle, are you?
No.
Mori-san.
Ryo-niichan said he's gonna be late tonight again.
Should I make some eggs? We didn't have breakfast.
Shin-niichan?
Niichan?
Welcome!
I had them all leave.
Kanzato-kun...
I told them to never approach you again.
He got punched.
I-I'm so-!
You met up with the kids from the circle earlier, right?
I won't tell Kayano about it, so you should really quit this time.
Can you make a promise?
What happened to you?
Nothing...
Hey, is this?
Hey, stop.
Shin, did you get punched?
Kanaru!
Instead of ending our friendship, change your contact info now.
Change your settings so every one of your Shadow Extraction friends are blocked.
I didn't...
I told Megumi-san.
Jun...
I thought that would've been better.
Crap, it's Kayano.
It's Kayano Megumi!
Those guys!
Wait!
What!?
Rather than that, you should...
This isn't working at all.
Then what should we do?
There.
Jun, make sure to watch the house.
Niichan, hurry.
You!
I'm concerned about her.
What?
It doesn't mean I like older girls, okay?
Sorry I was so harsh on you.
I've... done it before, too.
Shadow Extraction.
I was messing around during dance practice.
I watched Yumi-senpai do it and I did it to someone else.
The girl couldn't come to school for a while after that.
It's a really dangerous activity...
Yes...
But... I know you can quit.
So do your best.
Megumi-san...
Anyone who can Shadow Extract me now.
Sending.
I'm sorry...
Morimoto...
Kanzato-kun.
Please, I need...
Do you want me to do it just once, Morimoto?
Takuro...
She's definitely dependent on it.
Shadow Extraction addiction...
I've seen a few people who couldn't quit, but they were nothing like this.
This is horrible.
Kanaru!
Kanaru, are you all right!?
Y-yes...
I know. You don't have to say anything.
I want to be with everyone.
Don't worry... We're not gonna go anywhere.
Do you guys wanna come to my room?
It must be chilly out here.
Kanaru-chan, people are calling you Mori now?
Yes... The kids from the circle started to...
I heard whoever started the Shadow Extraction trend here was called Mori, too.
What?
They must be into it deep, too,
if they're calling Kanaru by the name of someone like that.
It's probably just because her name is Morimoto.
Though, just because of that one person...
Persona user?
Right.
That person is probably a Persona user like you guys with equal, or greater, abilities.
It must be amazing to do it with that person...
By the way, Inui-san, how do you know we're Persona users?
Huh? Well, during our trip, you all were...
You were watching? I mean, why aren't you surprised?
I grew up surrounded by Persona users for a little while.
Were there a lot of Persona users a long time ago?
It wasn't that long ago, really.
I think they've been declining over the past ten years.
Just a warning...
Shadow Extraction's effects are related to the power of your Persona.
Did you hear that?
What?
So, don't ask any of us to do it to you, okay, Kanaru-chan?
Is that true?
Inui-san! Don't say anything to provoke her!
Oops, sorry.
You seem to know a lot.
Yup.
What are Personas, anyway?
They're...
A Persona is your other self, hiding deep within your mind.
It's an incarnation of your psyche, plus another special ability.
What's that?
Kanaru!?
Did I just say something?
Oh, c'mon, give me a break.
We can't leave her alone like this.
You're right...
We'll always be together. Do your best! - Megumi
Kanaru-chan just left with some guys.
What!?
I heard you're all sticking by her side day in and day out.
Shadow Extraction sounds really scary.
Do you know where she went?
What? I'm not sure...
She might have gone to do Shadow Extraction again.
Oh...
She was doing so well!
Mori-san, that wasn't cool.
Last time, you went home before letting me do it.
I went to see you after I read your late-night forum post, but you didn't come.
I'm sorry...
Is there a new member?
Ishibashi-kun is going to get him right now.
Persona?
We're done... Morimoto.
This is a nice house. Where are your parents?
They should be back soon.
You aren't having sleepovers with your friends anymore?
Looks like you've betrayed them.
You might break it if you strain yourself too much.
Your heart.
If there's something that can make things easier, why not give in for a little?
Do you want me to do something amazing?
Relax...
Close your eyes.
No!
What's wrong?
No... No!
Good Health
Kanzato-kun...
Morimoto's house is around here, right?
Sure.
But she's gone now.
What?
Kanzato-kun? What are you up to?
Where are you? Are you with Kanaru?
What?
I'll call you back if I find her.
Is there a park around here?
There was a yard like this at our orphanage.
When we were sad or upset, we would hide inside those things and secretly cry.
Stay away!
Stay away... please.
Morimoto.
I don't want anyone to see me like this...
Good Health
I'll be waiting outside.
Morimoto!
No! Don't get near me! Morimoto!
No! Don't get near me!
Wait! I said, wait!
Don't look at me... please. Don't look!
Morimoto!
Get a hold of yourself!
You can do it!
Morimoto, you can overcome this!
H-hey!
What... is that?
U-um...
What's that up there?
omotai kusariwo The heavy chain
ima hazushite agemashou I will take it off for you
jiyuuni naretara Once you're free
kokowo habataite yukeruwa You'll be able to fly away
atashiga samatage I stood in your way
ubatte kita madaminu sekai e and took that world you haven't seen
tamerau nonara If you're going to hesitate
huriharatte ageru sono udewo I will free that arm for you
soshite tookue Then to faraway
dekirudake tookue As far away as possible
aishiteruno "I love you"
ikanaideyo "Don't leave me"
koware chaukara I will break
Some things should never be violated.
The lost nature.
Sediments of the livelihood that cannot turn back.
The ripples spread to the sea of the psyche.
Eventually shaking everything.
The great gathering writhes in pain.
The one who suffers in the inescapable gap.
Unaccepted loss of admonishment.
A burdened soul of deep-rooted delusion.
