| Genji would stop for a second to hear over how everyone met. It was interesting to go over how everyone met each other. But it was odd. This sort of reminiscence seemed to come too soon. It was like a elevator episode in a popular show on TV. But they only met recently, so it was weird. Genji didn't think about it for long, though. He was glad that Mio was meeting all of these new people. He was happy that he could make his friendships with them stronger by meeting new people. It seemed like this was a good way to live. Genji was happy that he met all of these people.
Then Mio pointed out the books that Naito was reading and Genji froze for a second. If Naito and Gabishi were here together in a room, that could only meet one thing: They were speaking about something important. They were speaking about Personas. This was bad. Maybe Naito would slip out the conversation somehow. If Genji would interrupt, it would be seen as rude. Genji didn't want to be rude to either Naito or Mio. Naito and Genji had an odd relationship already, so he didn't want to injure that. Mio and Genji had a rather new relationship, so doing something like that would offend her. He didn't like to offend people, even if it meant him being a yesman. Genji didn't know what to do, so he just kept quiet and shifted his eyes from Mio to Naito. He only hoped that he could get his way out of it. But Naito was Naito, if Genji knew anything, Naito would be able to get himself out of this. Genji just hoped that Naito wouldn't be blunt and too direct about it. Genji had this happen to him before. Naito can make the kindest of people offended in just a sentence. | |

| Naito ignored Gabishi's comment about meeting him when he was hungry. I mean, was this guy some sort of dog that had a one track mind? The silver haired student only let out a sigh before shaking his head. Well, it was what he expected. However, he wasn't expecting the female to directly ask what he was reading, and this came apparent when his eyes narrowed while looking towards her. Placing the spine of the book back down upon the table, the silver haired student would cross his arms over his chest and give a stern gaze. "Mio, was it?" Could he have possibly already forgotten her name in the literal few seconds after their introduction. "It's best not to ask about things that one wouldn't be able to comprehend. It would be a waste of both of our times." After all, she didn't have the potential of Persona, nor did she know of the ever waging war between Users and Shadows on the battlefield known as Limbo. So explaining all that would simply be a waste of time, correct? Closing his eyes, Tsurinai would tilt his head to the side. "Either way, this is more of a personal reading expedition, so it most likely wouldn't interest you." With that said, the scholar would nod his head and change the subject. "Now I have a question for you. Have you noticed anything strange recently? Like out of the ordinary, or something parallel to such a thing?" Naito opened his eyes narrowly and looked towards Mio. Perhaps there was a chance she noticed something he had not. After all, he didn't hang around the first year hallways. There was nothing for him there, and he really didn't speak to any first years to begin with. | |

| Gabishi look around at the table while looking at the covers of the books that both Naito and Mio, to think about it Gabishi didn't touch a book at all in that library since he entered. Well, the only reason that he was inside that place was for him to catch some sleep, since luckly he didn't sleep at class this time. Gabishi didn't really like to read books, except some mangas, but he knew that he have to keep informed or he will be totally stupid. Gabishi lay his back on the chair and cross his arms on his chest. Gabishi remain calm while listening to the others, especially the conversation between Naito and Mio. If Gabishi remember correctly Naito was reading a book about Limbo and other stuff. Gabishi remain silent while thinking about Limbo, the place where he was almost killed. Come on Naito, don't be rude.... she asked nicelly Gabishi said as he heard Naito talking to Mio. Gabishi give a second peek to the books that Mio was reading. Not interested in Nadashiki? Huh, Mio-san? Gabsihi suddenly said towards Mio. He just learned that Mio was new in town and was reading about various part of the city, but why not Nadashiki? Gabishi bet that she will never be in that part of town since almost all the criminals of the city where there. Not many people also liked that part of the city, but still that part was dear to Gabishi since he kinda grow up in that part of the city. | |

| Naito answered Mio's question which to her sounded quite rudely but again it wasn't her place to ask nor did she really know what they were about, she was really just curious of what he was studying or looking up. So she decided to just shrug it off and forget that she even asked the question. Though the question that he asked in return was actually quite odd in her opinion but tried to thing back on her day's here and didn't recall anything weird that's happened, except his own little hobbies, which still made her curious. "Nothing that I could say, sorry." She said slumping her shoulders.
"Not interested in Nadashiki? Huh, Mio-san?" Said Gabishi, making Mio look at her own selection herself. Which made her widen her eye's and looked toward him. "No no, its not that I'm not interested but that I haven't had any time to travel around much, so I thought learning Hayabusa and Shibukuzoi would be good for now since I'll be around here more." She said trying to explain to Gabishi. | |

| Genji cringed at Naito's directness towards Mio. He would have said something, but it wouldn't be of any use. It would just be justifying Naito and his wonderful friendship building skills, which was something Genji didn't want to do. Hopefully Mio was the type to brush things off like he does, just because she didn't look offended didn't mean that Naito was in the clear. Even if she was offended, it wouldn't matter. Genji also brushed it off, he would say something about it to Naito, but Genji just accepted the way that Naito was. He couldn't stop who he was. Maybe he would change. Maybe he already did. Genji would probably never know.
He wasn't there for Naito's Awakening. He didn't even tell him about the events of the awakening. Genji wasn't offended, though. It was tough. Being in that situation was horrendous. The embarrassment of having your whole life thrown out on the table for those who were close enough to see was great. Genji did owe him a lot, though. Naito did save Genji's life. For that, he is truly grateful. He would use the help that Naito gave him and would pass it forward. He did it with Gabishi and saved his life. He was still an early User, but the memories of the Awakening never change. Gabishi went through the same thing that Genji did. His life was thrown on the table as well. Of course, if he didn't want to talk about his own Awakening, Genji wouldn't mind. But he would share his own story with Gabishi someday. Not now, though. It wasn't the time, nor was it the place for it.
Now was the time and place to talk about some Ueitawa. Mio seemed to still be getting used to the area. Genji was happy that she was broadening her horizons. Getting out there and getting uncomfortable was the only way to learn about an area. She was definitely on her way to learning a lot about the area. He thought this would be the perfect time to talk about his own birthplace of Hayabusa. "Hayabusa is a great place to live, Mio-san," he started. "It is a quiet little place, not much commotion happens there, nor are there many places to make noise. It is a reserved, conservative place to live. I used to live there myself, I moved to the dorm this year for more personal reasons, but I liked it there. The areas are quite historic and it gives you a traditional feel. I mean, my house was small, but it was one hundred percent traditional. If you ever want to explore Hayabusa, get ready to hear some silence, it's possible there."
Genji felt his heart strings being tugged and pulled as he told Mio about his hometown. Hayabusa was really a place for him. It was quiet and reserved. While he may not be such a quiet person, he certainly is reserved, at least, more than most people his age. The maturity of the town seemed to have a big impact on his life. He missed it greatly, but he just couldn't be there anymore. Did he blame his parents? No. Did he blame himself? Of course, but this was established a long time ago. Maybe someday, he would go back. Go back into that house, face his nightmares, his fears, everything he hates, all of his insecurities. But for now, that was far off. Just as far off as the world of Limbo. | |

| "Rude?" Tsurinai looked towards Gabishi with a confused look, while tilting his head to the side. "I was being.. rude? Hmm.." The silver haired student raised a hand and pinched his chin between his index finger and thumb in thought. Was his bluntness being mistaken as being rude? Or was his bluntness really just that rude? Through Naito's upbringing, he never really considered the feelings of others with his words because of the complex he developed as a child. He was so lost in thought about this that he didn't respond to Mio's response about seeing something weird. When they continued on about the different locations of Ueitawa, he found himself far out of place. Being a transfer student himself, he didn't know much of the area accept for Hayabusa that became an unofficial meeting place. Either way, Naito would stack his two books and stand from his chair. Walking behind it, he'd give a slight nod to the three students. "Well then, I'll be going. Do have fun. It was a pleasure to meet you,.. Mio?" With that said, the silver haired prince would turn on his heel and head towards the front counter. Placing the books on the counter, he'd ask to check them out and do the regular procedures. With everything going according to plan, he'd take the books and head towards the exit without looking back once. He had plenty of work to do now, and being around those that didn't truly understand him was not so appealing. Tsurinai couldn't help but look back to the message his Shadow was attempting to press off on him. Maybe he was right. But being alone wasn't a weakness. He was never alone now that he had his Persona anyway.

| Gabishi was laying his face on the table since he was sleepy once again and still nervous being around Mio. He can't be calm around a girl, well it been almost a year since he talked to one. Suddenly Gabishi remembered about his little sister, the last time that he saw her was he left his grandfather's house to live on his own. The only thing that Gabishi know about her sister right now was that she a first year, but he didn't knew which school or even what town. Maybe she even change her name since she didn't want to do anything with Gabishi's problems. Thinking about it Gabishi become a little more sad about it, but he didn't wanted the others to know about that so he remain silent. After a moment he heard Mio responding to his question about Nadashiki Well, you have to be careful if you going to Nadashiki…… i can be your bodyguard if you need one Gabishi said while smiling towards Mio. He always willing to help other people that needed his help. Gabishi slowly raised his head from the table and search for a clock for know what time it was. Gabishi can't believe that was already that late, he have to go to work. The problem is that he exchange his working shift with a co-worker so he just have a hour to get ready and to go to the Shiki Nightclub or he will have his ass kicked by his boss. Gabishi look that Naito was also leaving the table since he was busy with something else. Gabishi quickly grab a piece of paper and a pen and quickly write down some numbers down. Sorry Mio-san, Genji-senpai…. but i have to go to work… Gabishi said as he quickly raise from his chair and made a little bow in front of them and put the piece of paper on front of them. T-t-this is my number….. if you guys need any help…. I-i-i will try to help you!! Gabishi said as he walked towards the exit door but he suddenly stop and look at the table once again We will meet again…. and Mio-san, it was nice knowing you Gabishi said with a smile before leaving the place in a hurry.

| Mio listened to Genji's explanation of Hayabusa and how great it was. From the sound of it, it did sound like a nice and really peaceful place to live, especially if your the type to just sit around the house and read or sleep all day. She started to think that's what Genji did when he mentioned him living there and laughed under her breath, hoping that he didn't think that she was laughing at him directly. As she started to stop she thought of Hayabusa as a great place for her father to move into so they can be together again, instead of living so far from each other. Those thoughts maybe her face get a little down, but she remembered that she was around others and placed a smile on her face as quick as it went away.
The the sounds of books placed over one another grabbed her attention as Naito started to raise from his chair. "Well then, I'll be going. Do have fun. It was a pleasure to meet you,.. Mio?" He said before walking away, Mio watched as he walked toward the front counter, checking out his books before leaving through the exit. Mio kinda worried of the reason he left, hoping that it wasn't because of what she said. "I wonder why he left?" She said curiously, in a saddened tone.
"Well, you have to be careful if you going to Nadashiki…… i can be your bodyguard if you need one" Said Gabishi referring back to the conversation of Hayabashi, making Mio smile again. "I'll keep you to that!" She said happily. "Sorry Mio-san, Genji-senpai…. but i have to go to work…" Gabishi said as he got up and placed a piece of paper on the table. "T-t-this is my number….. if you guys need any help…. I-i-i will try to help you!!" Gabishi said. "We will meet again…. and Mio-san, it was nice knowing you" Mio nodded her head back toward him, with a gentle smile. "Nice meeting you too! Hope we meet again soon!" She said a bit loudly before recognizing her tone of voice and lowered it quickly. She took the piece of paper and her phone, placing the number in her phone and placing the number back onto the table. Looking back toward Genji seeing that they were the last two left at the table. "So genji, what have you been up to, see the last time we saw each other?" Mio asked. | |

| Genji would watch Naito and Gabishi take their separate paths and leave the library. They must be busy, much like himself. Luckily, he still had a little more time to himself today. He was curious as to why Mio was here herself. She seemed to be a studious type. She had a lot of books to herself that she picked out. It was nice to see a good student in the works. They made his life much easier. He would wave goodbye to the two as he heard Mio ask her question. If anything, his life has been challenging with the fact that he was battling Shadows and preventing them from killing everyone, but besides that, his life was pretty okay. He made sure to tell her that.
"Life has been great for me as of late. It got a lot more exciting and I've been meeting a lot of people recently. It's a nice way to end my final year. I'm kind of glad that it's ending on this level. It's a nice way to settle down as the year closes. I don't have to worry about tests or universities anymore, so I can relax and enjoy the rest of my year. After finals, I'm out of here. But enough about me, how have you been Mio-san? We haven't seen each other for a little while, so I'm curious as to how you've been holding up."
Genji did actually wonder how she was holding up. She only recently moved into the area. It still must be intimidating, considering that there is so much to do around the school and the surrounding areas. He was happy to learn that she was getting to learn the areas a little bit at a time. By the end of the year or by the next spring, she should be able to go anywhere she wanted. Genji was glad that she was able to do what she needed. He just hoped that she was faring well, being the new kid and all was tough. | |

| Mio smiled and nodded her head as Genji started to tell her about how good things were going on his last year here at Kizuna Academy, making lots of friends and getting ready to settle down once the year starts to end and get to relax and have fun. Which she hopes she will be able to do more once she knows more of the place and gets settled in. Genji asked her how she was doing, making her widen her eye's a little and she placed her index finger on her lips before looking toward the ceiling, thinking over the things she's done.
"Mmmm nothing much really going to school like normally and I have more shifts at work because one of the commotion that's been happening since the cafe is new, I suppose, I just been working at the new Maid Cafe at the Hakken Super Mall, its fun though so I don't mind it much. The outfits are cute." Mio said with a smile on her face blushing as she scratched the back of her head, as she looked down toward her lap. "I guess you can say things have been going good and yet time consuming, haven't had alot of time to myself, which is why I'm here right now. I'm using the time I got to learn more about the place." She said happily. | |

| The doors to the Library would open to reveal Third Year teacher, Aburai Mojii. Rubbing the back of his head with his left hand, he'd be holding an envelope in his right with a confused expression. His eyes scanned the library almost like he was looking for someone, and when he saw Genji sitting off to the side, he gave a smile. Making his way through the narrow path way, a few students would wave and give greetings to their beloved teacher. The aloof teacher would return their greetings with a smile and a nod. When he finally reached the table Genji was sitting at with the young female, he'd continue to rub the back of his head with a nervous laugh. "Hey, Genji-san. I was looking for you. A student came by and dropped off a letter for you. I'm not sure who it's from, since it was under the door, but it does have your name on it. I hope I'm not interrupting something important." The teacher gave a comical sly faced grin towards Genji before looking towards the younger student. "Didn't know you were such a ladies man, haha. Maybe you should give me some tips in the future." Aburai gave a light laugh as he placed the envelope on the table top and gave a wave to the two. "Now I better get back to the faculty office before Ms. Nola gives me another lecture about neglecting my duties. I swear she acts like my wife sometimes." The third year teacher would shrug his shoulders and shake his head with a sigh before heading back towards the exit. The third year teacher would leave the library, ready for the scolding from the woman in blue. However, the envelope would be placed flat upon the table top infront of the one named Kano Genji. | |

| "Wow, you seem very busy. I'm often busy my self, since I've been working as lifeguard for quite some time. I also joined the Disciplinary Committee, so I had a lot of stuff on my plate. Going to the university will be nice, I'll have a little more free time. In the end, I'll still help you out if you want me to. I'm glad that you are using your time wisely by coming in here to learn about the area. You'll love it around here, I promise."
Genji wanted to say more, but then his homeroom teacher came in and handed him a letter. He said that it was from an unknown sender. Genji would sit there for a few moments and wonder what was going on. It was a letter that he certainly didn't expect to get. It could have been from anyone, really. Genji would finally get a chance to take a seat and sit down. He looked at the letter from the front and the back. He couldn't honestly tell who it was from. There wasn't much that he could do with it except open it. He could wait to open it at home, but that wasn't the best idea. If it was a good thing or an urgent thing, he would be able to do it here. He didn't really care if Mio was around, he didn't mind her being there when he opened it. Some people got weird about it, but Genji wasn't like that. "Huh. A letter. I didn't expect to get anything like this. Oh well. I guess it is time to open it." Genji would place his finger under the small opening in the letter. He would rip the top of the letter open. He was certainly excited to see what was inside. | |

| Genji can see that she was kinda busy with work and school, but she only thought that was because she's new around here, and soon it'll be more lax and an easier run as an everyday thing. She nodded in agreement as to Genji's statement of going to love this place. Mio could already agree from the kindness of the people she has already met and gotten help from, which she really appreciated, though what she really wanted was to bring her father along with her. She feels as if shes abandoned him and wants to return home but she wouldn't because she didn't want him to worry. She shook her head trying to get those thoughts out of her mind, and listened to the teacher as he appeared at the table without her noticing, probably when she was hard at thought.
She stayed quiet during their small conversation and through his little joke that he said toward Genji. He sounded surprised that he had received a letter and from what she heard, it seems there wasn't a name on it. As he wondered what was inside he started to rip the top, Mio placed her hands under the seat and lifted her chair slightly as she walked and placed it closer to Genji, with her curiousness, she wanted to know what was within the mysterious letter as well. | |

| When the boy opened the letter, there would be multiple newspaper clippings showing a message...
"s T o p - S a V I n G - p E o p l e - o R - s o m e O n E - c l o s E - t o - Y o U - w i L L - b e - N E X T - a n d - k i L L e d"
The message would abruptly end there.. | |

| Genji was normally calm and reserved, but this was over the top. This was scary. No, scary was an understatement, this was terrifying... Genji immediately gasped and folded the paper in half... He didn't know what to do with himself. The message was so to the point, that it was scary. It was directed at him, too. Someone out there knew that he was saving these people. Someone knew that he had a Persona, that he was a User. The message clearly freaked him out. He never received a serious threat in his life from anyone. A deliquent or two may have threatened him in the past, but it was never as serious as this. This was a crime, this was insane, this was so many terrifying things thrown together at one time. Genji felt his hands become sweaty. The insides of his shirt was sweaty as well. It's like someone turned up the heat about ninety degrees in that split second.
Genji had a million questions ring in his head at one time. Who could have done this? Why would anyone do this? How did they know that he was a User? Was it a User who did this? Was there someone out there who would know that he had this power? Genji tried to stop the never ending flow of questions going through his head, but it didn't work. Does that mean that it is someone in this school that was doing this? Why would they send a letter? Male or female? "Friend" or foe? He started to think about the known Persona Users, none of them seemed to fit the description. They were in the same boat that he was in, so they wouldn't do it.
He looked over to Mio, who was surprisingly closer to him. If only he wasn't so happy about getting the letter, he wouldn't have her get so close. He could only look at her, still shocked, more than likely pale, he only hoped that she didn't see it, but more than likely she did. He could only sit there speechless for the time being. | |
