Adachi was sitting in his office , drinking a cup of coffee on the little time he had to take a break . Ever since the first murder of Miss Yamano happened , the entire police force of Inaba were constantly working with little time to take a break . And yet on TV he was watching a reporter berating the police for their failure to capture the killer , blaming them for the fact that the killer remained at large long enough to commit his second crime . That was a painful truth about workers in an industry , as far as Adachi could see . They take you for granted when they don't need you , but when you struggle to do your job because of complications out of your control , it is always your fault .
" two homicidal cases ... and the one suspect we had our eyes on has an airtight alibi in the second murder ... man ... life sucks ... " Adachi mumbled as he took another sip of his coffee
" ADACHI !!! " the door bursted open and in came Yui " I have figured it out !!! "
" PFFT !!! Ack ! Cough ! Cough ! The hell ?! " Adachi was so startled to see Yui barge into his office so suddenly that he spat the coffee he drank on the floor " Dojima-san ?! ... cough ! ... I'm sorry , I wasn't slacking off ! "
" what are you talking about ? It's me , Yui Fuyumi , the one who found the first scene of the crime ! "
" oh , right ... Fuyumi-san ... that shaved a few years off of my life ... "
" look sharp , I know how the killer did it ! " Yui said eagerly " I know how they killed the two victims without the police realizing it ! "
The fog engulfed Yu , suffocating him . It forced its way into Yu's nose , mouth , eyes and ears , filling his lungs and mind with the mist . Yu could feel his eyes sinking into their sockets , and the air escaping his lungs . Between the excruciating pain in his eyes , and the suffocation in his chest , he began screaming in agony .
" thou shall not succumb to despair ... "
Yu's eyes darted painfully through the endless darkness , searching for the source of that voice . In the pitch black void , he could see one twinkling light in the distance . The scene felt so familiar , it was as if he had seen it before . As he crawled closer to the light , it glowed brighter and brighter , until it was shining like a star when he reached it . When the light dispersed , a blank card was floating in the air before him .
" ... Persona ... ! "
As if guided by instinct alone , he clutched the card in his hand , and it shattered like glass , enveloping him in pale blue light . Through the ephemeral light , an entity appeared the likes of which Yu had only seen in movies . It was a figure in black , wielding an excessively long and great sword , which hand was almost just as long , and its face was covered by a metallic mask . With one slash from that entity's sword , the mist dispersed , as if it was running away from it .
