Yu sat in the velvet room with Margaret, Igor and Marie . He had finished fusing new Personas and aligning them with the confidants he had , and he looked into the mirror that Marie conjured , within which he saw a man with strange glowing tattoos. From that , Marie produced an obsidian and gave it to Yu, explaining that it allows his Persona's physical attacks to override enemy resistance. Having taken the gem , Yu decided that it would be a good time to ask Margaret about Chie's condition, so he told her about that dark entity that attacked them in the corridor, and how it managed to momentarily catch Chie , which was apparently so traumatizing it made her lose the ability to call a Persona . Margaret moved closer to the round table in the center, before she folded several tarot cards on it. Yu was about to ask what she was doing, but Marie quickly hushed him . Margaret raised her hand, and the cards began to ominously float before her. The air in the room felt heavy, almost suffocating, but eventually the tension subsided and the cards felt back on the table
" I have heard of a Persona user who lost her power before , she was a Wild Card, just like you "
" There were Wild Cards before me and Yui ? "
" Yes, there were four Wild Cards before you , two of whom were exceptionally stellar Persona users, and I had the honor to meet them in person " Margaret smiled with satisfaction, seemingly reminiscing about that time , she added " I can only tell you as much as what my brother had informed me, but I know that one of them lived through a catastrophic time in her life, which rendered her incapable of summoning a Persona "
" What ... you mean I can lose my Personas , too ?! "
" Yes " Margaret replied calmly, and Yu felt a pit forming in his stomach. The idea that his Personas could be beyond his reach at such a critical time was very concerning
" So ... You know how to fix this problem...? "
" If it had been you, yes. After all, you are a Wild Card as well, which would be very close to what she had experienced. I only need to consult my brother, then " Margaret nodded calmly " unfortunately, the same cannot be said about your friend. She is not a Wild Card, hence I shall need more time to study the situation further "
" Her friend is trapped inside that world, we don't have time ! "
" Then it is your choice " Margaret looked at him sternly, and once again her icy glare silenced him completely " if you believe that time is of the essence, I suggest you leave your friend behind and venture into that world on your own "
" On ... On my own ... "
" Further... Personas are manifestations of your psyche , reckless tampering with them can irreversibly damage the person pscyhologically "
" I ... I see ... " Yu could still remember the breakdown Chie had when they escaped that world on that day, so he decided not to rush Margaret after all
The Dojima family was together again at night after an uneventful dinner, they were all watching the news on TV. The broadcasting also gave a detailed report of the expected weather for the next week, giving some much needed good news for Yu and Yui, as clear skies were expected for the next week as well as the first heat wave for that year. While the idea of a hot summer morning wasn't appealing for Nanako or her father especially during the upcoming holiday, the cousins were at least glad that it meant they wouldn't have to leave Nanako alone to save a victim . For Yu, it was a necessity, as it meant he didn't have to venture into the other world with only Yosuke. In the meantime, their uncle was reading from a newspaper, and though it covered his face , they could hear him mumbling to himself thoughtfully
