———————————————————————————————————–
4/16/2011 Early morning...
Somehow your head seemed to throb harder than before.
Since the TV world, your head had migraines whenever possible. To be honest, you'd expect just a normal, boring life in the countryside, make some friends, then soon go somewhere else and do the same thing. You didn't expect to have an annoying boy that the residents hate, a tomboy with an addiction for steak, and a girl who can't even look at people then just apologizes and goes. You didn't expect to have weird powers, go inside the TV, and expect to solve murders from a talking stuffed animal.
You stretched from your futon. The pain seems to ebb away. You didn't want to go to school but you had to. For your parents.
"So she awakes." A voice said. You sat up looking around but saw nothing.
"Maybe it was just my imagination." You muttered as you stood up and went to change. After that you went to the bathroom and brushed your teeth.
"Most intriguing." The same voice said. "Your teeth seemed to be still in perfect shape. Normally at this age, they turn yellow."
You put down your toothbrush and looked around. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
"You... You can hear me...?"
"Y-Yes..." You said shakily. "Come out and show yourself."
However you didn't expect to see her.
The long black coat, the silver mask, the huge naginata strapped on her back, and the long (hair color) flowing hair and yellow eyes-it made you weird out, knowing that you were the one who beckoned her in the living.
"You... can see me?" She asked, her voice sounded like yours except much more hollow. You nodded your head. Her eyes were gone for then appeared again. She probably blinked.
"Who.. are you...?" You asked.
"Do you not know? I am you." Before you could say anything else, a knock came at the door.
"Hello? Who are you talking to?" Nanako said through the door.
“No Nanako. I was... just practicing a line... for a play." You said.
"I'm going in." She said as the knob turned.
"No, Nanako-!" She fully opened the door and stared blankly at you. She didn't react to the humanoid being next to you.
"Breakfast is almost ready, by the way." She said before closing the door. You just stood there, the toothpaste foam dripping from your mouth and your Persona digging inside the hamper.
After that you went down to eat breakfast. You tried your best to stay stoic whenever your Persona pokes the household objects such as the sink.
"Amazing how you can bring the river to your own home." She said. You pursed your lips. If you can see her why can't she be visible to Nanako?
"Um... Nanako?" You started. Her innocent eyes made it even worse to say what was in your mind.
"Do you... notice anything strange around?" She blinked.
"Strange? Um... no. Nothing out of the ordinary."
"Are you sure? Nothing?"
"Y-Yeah. Why? Is something wrong?" You quickly shook your head and continued eating your breakfast.
"Mysterious. This box creates cold air but there is food inside. Why would anyone freeze their food?"
During the walk to school you began fidgeting but soon relaxed when the people didn't see your Persona.
"So... how come no one can see you?" You asked.
"You are the only one who has these powers so it is natural that you can see me."
"Yeah, but..." You trailed off. "Never mind. Just who are you? Like your name or something."
She blinked. "I am Izanami. The goddess who invites."
"You said that you never seen a toothbrush before and a fridge so how is it you are me?"
"So that's what you call those things..." She pondered. "It's... rather complicated. You humans might label this as 'reincarnation'. I would want to explain further but it is rather difficult because of how language changed."
"(Name)!" You heard someone call. You turned and saw Yosuke riding his bike towards you with a frog-like humanoid in a disco suit floated behind him. He hit the brakes just before you and hopped off.
"Dude, I just woke up this morning and I saw this in my room staring at me!" He said, thumbing the frog.
"Don't worry Yosuke. No one can see them except both of us." You said calmly.
"Them?" He questioned. He realized until now the black figure standing beside you. "Wait, you got one too?"
"Don't refer to me as an object." Izanami warned.
"You got told man. By a really attractive gal." The frog said leaning up to Izanami. "And a much more beautiful woman." He stared at you.
"Stop flirting dammit!" Yosuke half-yelled, not wanting to draw attention.
"Your just jealous because your not that smooth with the ladies. Hey, I'm Jiraiya." He introduced his voice the same as Yosuke's except hollow as well.
Yosuke groaned. "Talking Personas aside, you saw what was on last night, right?"
You nodded. "I did. I can't tell who it was though."
"Let's go check it out after school. Maybe Teddie can tell us something. If it turns out someone was thrown in again, there really might be a culprit behind all this. Even if it is something about that place that's killing the victims... If someone's using that world as a weapon, that's unforgivable." He looked up with determination in his eyes. "We need to find the culprit... no matter what it takes!"
Your eyes widened.
"There's no way the police can do it... Who would believe that the murderer kills people by throwing them inside the TV?"
"It has to be us." You said. He laughed a little.
"Cool. It's reassuring to hear someone else say it. You know, I tried sticking my head in the TV last night, the way you did, and it actually worked. I think I can do that now because I have the same power... Persona, wasn't it?"
“That's us." Jiraiya said.
"Could it be that we got this gift from someone specifically so we could solve the case." Yosuke looked down. "Then again, you managed to go inside the TV and get your Persona first... I feel like as long as you're with me, I can find the culprit and crack this case. Well... let's do our best!" He held his hand out.
You were impressed by how he moved on so quickly. Saki badmouthed him yet he has the courage to go on. You felt your heart grow a bit stronger with the bond you share with Yosuke. You recalled Igor's words last night,
“The Persona ability is the power to control one's own heart... And the heart is strengthened through bonds. As you form bonds by becoming involved with others, your own Social Links will gradually develop. The power of these Social Links is what will determine your Persona's abilities."
Could this be what Igor was talking about? The bond between you and Yosuke? The two of you went to school with your Personas trailing behind.
"Why were they holding their hands so long?" Jiraiya asked.
"It is something I cannot explain." Izanami replied.
"Try calling the inn." You suggested.
Chie frantically scrolled down her contacts for the inn's number. It was only a few minutes ago that Chie barged in saying that she didn't see Yukiko come to school. She tried to call her but she never replied. Yosuke said that Yukiko might be in the TV world (which you quickly briefed over what you gained to Chie). However you suggested to call the inn's number and right now, Chie's phone was ringing.
"Oh, is this Yukiko!? Thank god, she's there! Uh-huh... Uh-huh, I see... Ah, uh. Nah, it was nothing, haha. I'll email you again later..." She turned off the cellphone and sighed. "She was over at the inn... She said they had a big group reservation and she had to help out. Yeah... Now that I think about it, this has happened before, too. At least once a year. She said she'll be at the inn tomorrow, too." She walked up near Yosuke in anger.
"Oh, for crying out loud, Yosuke! You got me worried over nothing! She was totally fine! And you were all, 'Is Yukiko -san inside that place...?' Hmph..."
"Yeah, Yosuke. What an immature act." Jiraiya said.
"S-Sorry... But there is a reason we thought that."
"Oh yeah? What?"
"Well... we thought people show up on the Midnight Channel because they're already over in that world. I mean, it makes sense, right? People show up on TV because they're inside the TV... But Yukiko-san's still here, in our world. We might want to see what this is about. Alright, let's meet up at Junes after school."
After school
"-and then the thing kept on babbling and babbling about how much of a brat Yosuke was when he moved to Inaba and-"
"O-Okay, I think that's more than enough about my sorry escapades." Yosuke cut you off.
"Oh man, You are such a loser." Jiraiya commented. Yosuke sent him a 'no-one-asked-you' look.
"If I hadn't seen the place first hand... I'd never have believed a story like that." Chie said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Yosuke said. "Anyways, we need to know what's going on inside-" He looked around. A few customers were here and the nearest ones are a couple looking at the prices.
"How? By talking to that Teddie guy?"
"Yeah. Too bad there's so many customers around... I forgot there's a sale in the electronics department today..."
"Why do people spend there time looking at bright picture boxes? I mean it is fascinating but the prices are too absurd." Izanami said.
"I got it! C'mere a sec." Yosuke said as he stood at the side of the TV. You followed. "Try sticking your hand in and calling him over. I bet that bear's wandering around the entrance anyway." He turned his head towards Chie. "Hey Chie, stand over here and make a wall with me."
"A wall?" Chie questioned. Nonetheless, she stood on the other side. You stuck your hand inside the TV and it went through. You tried waving your hand to grab Teddie's attention but you yelped and quickly recoiled your hand back. Something bit you! With bite marks clear as day!
"Wh-What's wrong!?" Yosuke yelled, worried. 
Chie shushed him. "Not so loud, you idiot!" Chie looked at your hand. "D-Dude, is that a bite mark!? Are you okay!?" You rubbed your wrist.
"I think I'm gonna die." You deadpanned.
"Eh? No you're not." Chie said.
"Was that supposed to be sarcasm? Cause that voice and face kinda does." Jiraiya said.
"Hey you! We know you're in there!" Chie half-yelled at the TV.
"Ooh Ooh, is this a game?" Teddie's voice said through the TV.
"No, it's not a game! Can you sense anyone inside their right now?" Yosuke asked.
"Who's 'anyone'? I'm a lonely little bear like always. This land feels so bear-ren..."
You sighed in annoyance at his lame pun. "Teddie, what we're asking is there anyone with you right now? Someone?"
"Like I said, this place is empty! If I keep saying it over and over again, I'll become bear-ry lonelier than before!"
"I'm gonna go warn Yukiko anyway. Since she'll be busy this weekend helping out at the inn, I doubt she'd go anywhere alone, but still..." Chie said.
"Yeah... You'll walk with her to school on Monday, right?" Yosuke said. She nodded.
"Sure. I'll go pick her up at her house."
"Maybe we'll find out more on tonight's Midnight Channel. Cross your fingers that this is all just a misunderstanding..."
"Considering what we went through and the theories tossed, I highly doubt it." You said.
Evening
"So this 'Midnight Channel' let's you see who will be tossed inside the... the..." Izanami trailed off.
"TV." You finished for her. "But that's probably just a theory. We won't know for sure until we watch it." Silence came after and it was getting kind of awkward, staring at the blank screen. You looked at the clock only to know that fifteen minutes are left until the Midnight Channel will start.
"Um... What do you think of Jiraiya?" You asked your Persona, hoping to start a conversation.
"What?"
"I said what do you think of Jiraiya."
Izanami thought for a while. "I... guess you can say he's annoying. And has no respect for women-"
"Much like the user?" You mused.
"Much like it." She agreed. "Why do you ask such a thing?"
"Just to lighten the mood." You shrugged. She didn't say anything and sat with you on the couch in silence. After what seemed like and eternity, the clock struck midnight and the TV turned on, only to present Yukiko in a pink Victorian dress decorated with roses while wearing pink gloves and a tiara. She held a microphone in her hand as she smiled at the viewers.
“Good evening! Tonight, Princess Yukiko has a big surprise." The view panned farther to show that she was in front of a huge castle lined with standing horses. "I'm gonna go score myself a hot stud! Welcome to not a dream, not a hoax, Princess Yukiko's hunt for her prince charming!" She spun around as big flashy letters with roses appeared in the background. It said "Princess Yukiko's stud-hunt! An adventure not to miss!"
"Is this... supposed to be normal...?" Izanami asked. You stayed silent as you watched Yukiko twirl around, the camera showing of her squeezing thighs and breasts. The last thing she did was she was going inside the castle. After that, the screen went blank. The two of you stayed silent for a while, processing what just happened. That is until your phone rang.
"H-Hey, did you see that!?" Cam Yosuke's voice on the other line. "That was Yukiko-san for sure! It looked like her... it even said her name! But didn't the stuff she was saying sound weird!? And it looked like she was on some low-budget TV show... Was it like this before, too?" You heard shuffling and then Jiraiya's voice was suddenly heard.
"HEY! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" You had to recoil your hand back because of his sudden shout.
"Yes, we can, and you can just talk in a normal voice, Jiraiya. I'll just put the phone on speaker so Izanami can hear the both of you." You pressed the speaker button and the muffled voices of Yosuke and Jiraiya can be heard clearly.
"Dude, don't interrupt!"
"You just want to hear (Name)'s sweet voice."
"We're trying to discuss something important!"
"But you really weren't paying attention by how smooth (Name)'s voice is. I can't blame you. I wonder how it sounds like when in a different scenario-" Before he could ramble further, you pressed the phone button, cutting off the line.
"As much as I want to know the wonders of this device, I thank you for stopping their conversation. Somehow." Izanami said.
"Don't mention it." You put your phone back on the table as you stretched.
"Shouldn't you call them back?" At this point, you were readying your futon.
"Eh, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." You wrapped yourself inside the comforter as you looked at Izanami laying down on the couch. "Goodnight, Izanami."
"Goodnight, (Name)."
Hanamura residence
"Great, she hung up because of you!" Yosuke said as he looked at the screen that said 'Call ended'.
"Well, just call her again. I won't interrupt." Jiraiya floated across the room with his hands folded on his stomach.
"Dude, I'd appreciate it if you don't float around my room and (Name)-san's probably asleep." The male yawned as he locked his phone. "Maybe I should take some shut eye too..." Yosuke plopped down on his bed as he stared at Jiraiya suspended on the ceiling.
"You know there was also another distraction..." The frog started. Yosuke blinked at him.
"What's Yukiko's measurements." Yosuke sat up straight, red-faced.
"Wh-What are you-!?"
"But her measurements can't compare to (Name)'s. I swear hers is probably like-two centimeters larger?"
Yosuke groaned and screamed at his pillow. "Can I please just go to sleep!?" He said through the pillow. His Persona only laughed and placed his hands behind his back.
"Alright alright. Go to sleep."
'Finally.'
"So you can dream (Name) in a nurse outfit."
‘OH, COME ON!'
