Ejji's Homeless Shelter

Ejji simply watched, awed as the monster was no more. The only thing that was left in it's wake was the other Ejji, who now seemed to be more subdued than earlier. The real Ejji looked over at Naito, who was giving... a sort of speech. The transfer student told him that this thing had always been inside his heart, that it was indeed from within him. And he also said that Ejji had to accept this weakness of his if he were to live, and obtain true strength.
Face hardships, huh? He guessed he could do that, if Naito did something similar, seemingly from his speech.

Ejji walked up to the Shadow Ejji, casting one last look at Naito, who he swore to thank as soon as this was over. As he looked down on the other him, he began speaking, a sigh escaping his lips first.

"I... understand. The way I act is because there were always so many people who have great expectation of me. I was always scared of them thinking I was too weak, not fit for my family, unfit to be a Reiguu. I made sure to hide all my fears, all my insecurities behind a cold face and superior atitude. I was a coward." he sighed again, making a small pause, as if to gather his thoughts and more courage. "I admit - I resented myself for being this way, but I can't always repress this side of me. I guess you are that." he looked at his Shadow self. "I hurt you, and hurt myself, for we are one. For that I am sorry. I know now that I can't deny you, deny myself. You did the only thing you could - lashed out, hoping to stop the pain."

Ejji made a small laugh, a bitter feeling of understanding. "So come on. Stand up. We can do this together. One step at a time." he smiled. A real smile, reaching for Shadow Ejji's hand. He would help him stand up, and he would admit all these fears of his. Together they would overcome them. He knew that now.

With the acceptance of your Shadow, Ejji has unlocked his power from within...

Ejji's shadow has become Amatsu-Yarikami... With his sacred spear, he will skewer out the hardships that cloud your heart...


The newly found Persona would disappear in a bright flash of light and bathe Ejji in its presence. The power to summon a Persona was now his. With more than one Persona user, perhaps now there was chance the secrets of Limbo could be revealed. Either way, a blue door way would form in the center of the room as an access point to the Velvet Room. Apparently the two Persona users were being beckoned to enter..

Naito remained off to the side and watched the light show with narrowed eyes. Once making sure the Shadow was tamed, he'd press off the wall and begin to make his way towards the crimson door he had entered Limbo from. There was nothing he looked to say to Ejji, nor did he wish to stay to be thanked for doing his part. It wasn't a favor to him, Naito simply didn't wish to see the Shadow have its way. Before he'd be able to escape the scene, a blue door way would form in the center of the room. The door looked familiar... Infact, it reminded him of the velvet room all too clearly. He hadn't seen the inhabitants of that room since he obtained his own Persona. Perhaps he'd go thank William for informing him of the Shadow. Perhaps...

No matter, Naito would make a confident stride to the doorway and turn the knob. Once it opened, he'd be bathed in a soothing blue light before being transferred to the Velvet Room itself.

Ejji could only marvel at his Persona. He didn't know how to call this thing yet, but to think that the monster from before, into which the Shadow Ejji had turned, could become this! It was truly a thing of beauty and now he had a sense of a slightly more understanding. That thing that Naito summoned was just like this - a towering figure tht came from within. The phantoms looked different, so he made a small guess that the appearance depneded on a user... Perhaps there were more like the two of them? Did this mean Ejji could now fight as well? But he was getting ahead of himself.

Ejji watched as the thing dissappeared, and turned into a tarot card of some kind that flew into his hand and then faded out. He could only wonder.
Just as the young man was about to ask some questions and give his thanks, turning to Tsurinai, he was a strange blue door manifest in the center of the room. He watched, silently, as Naito entered the doorway, without waiting for words and not frightened in the least. Perhaps he did not want thanks? Ejji recalled their first meeting, and a few times he had seen the other boy in class. Perhaps it was just the way he was.

Ejji sighed, looking at the palm of his hand, where the card faded away. He smirked, feeling a small warmth inside his chest. There was nothing to fear.
The Reiguu heir stepped into the door, squinting his eyes at the light.
