Two days after Fuuka’s rescue mission, everyone went to classes while worrying about Fuuka’s condition. After school Masato was putting his things away in his bag as his phone went off. He grabbed his phone and saw he received a text message from Akihiko reading, 

A: Fuuka is being released from the hospital. We’ll talk to her this evening. Come to the command room as soon as you get back. 

He read the message as he put the phone back as he quickly finished putting his things away. And later that day in the evening, everyone gathered in the Command Room, where Fuuka was embarrassed with the look Ikutsuki was giving her as she stood next to the couch. 

Ikutsuki: You’re Fuuka Yamagishi, right? 

Fuuka: Y-Yes. 

Ikutsuki: *chuckle* Relax, there’s no need to be nervous. Why don’t you have a seat?

She nods and sits down as Ikutsuki continues speaking to the rest of the group over this mission. 

Ikutsuki: Everyone, you did an excellent job uncovering the truth. I also wanted to let you know… The three girls have all regained consciousness. 

Fuuka: What a relief… 

Ikutsuki: From what I understand, they each came to school around midnight and waited for the security guard to leave. They were attacked by Shadows near the gate, as the Dark Hour began… However, the facts became twisted because of rumors concerning a ghost story. 

Yukari: I knew right from the beginning that it wasn’t a ghost. 

Fuuka: It’s all my fault. 

Masato: Don’t say that. 

Yukari: He’s right. You were the victim! 

Fuuka: But, I made so many people worry… 

Yukari: Hey, don’t think like that… 

She said slightly upset that Fuuka would think that she made people worry with her disappearance, as Mitsuru stood up and walked closer to her. 

Mitsuru: We could have lost that fight if you weren’t there. You saved our lives. You should feel good about yourself. You have a special power that you can use to help others. 

Fuuka: A special power…? 

Mitsuru: We call it “Persona.” You could be a tremendous help to us. Will you lend us your strength? 

Fuuka: Are you asking me to join you…? Mitsuru-senpai… 

Yukari: You know, we’re not trying to pressure you, so if you need some time to think about it… 

Fuuka: I’ll do it. …I’ll help you! 

Yukari: A-Are you sure!? If you join, you’ll have to live here… 

Fuuka: That’s fine. I’d rather live here than at home anyway… 

She said as Yukari was confused by what she meant by that as Mitsuru spoke while smiling as the team got a new member. 

Mitsuru: We really appreciate this. We’ll have the school talk to your parents to resolve any issues. 

Fuuka: Thank you. 

Yukari: …Wait a minute. Aren’t we dragging her into this a bit fast? 

Fuuka: Um, it’s okay really… 

Ikutsuki: Now, then… Those special Shadows showed up again. We still don’t know where they’re coming from. But, Akihiko is right about one thing… Their appearances seem to coincide with the full moon. We’ll take that into consideration from now on.
