Persona 5 - The Answer

The other Message

Yu's POV

It's been 4 years since... well everything.

I met Youske and chie, then Yukiko, and everyone else, we stopped a series of murders, we found out about a tv world, and fought a God.

That was a pretty good year.

About a year after that I decided I wanted to live in Inaba with my friends, and quite a lot has changed. Chie is in the middle of the Police academy, Yukiko is almost ready to take over her family's Inn, Naoto is working with the Kirijo group as Mitsuru's partner, Teddie still works at Junes, Youske is the manager, Rise has really grown as an idol and Kanji has actually opened his own knitting shop.

They all know what they want to do with their lives, but I'm still unsure, all I know is that I wanna stay close to them.

Nanako is in junior high. She's growing up so fast! She still calls me big bro though.

RI RI RIRIRI

Oh my Phone's going off, it's Youske.

"Hey Youske what's up?"

"What's up? Teddie is what's up man, he's freaking out, says we all need to meet."

"I mean I can but Rise and Naoto are both out of town."

"Rise is meant to be coming back tomorrow. But I need you to try and call Naoto, she'll listen to you."

"Is it really that urgent?"

"Yeah. By the way Teddie is freaked, it really is."

"Alright, I'll do what I can."

"Thanks Partner."

After all this time he still calls me partner.

I search through my contacts and find Naoto, I haven't texted her for a while, because when she's on a case she needs to stay focused.

But when push comes to shove, I know she'll be there when we need her. I hit the call button.

Nothing.

Oh she's calling me back.

"Hey Senpai what's up?"

"It's Teddie, apparently something's got him freaked out, apparently he wants to see us."

"I mean I would but Mitsuru wants to see me today, and she said it's urgent, it could be another case."

"I understand, I'll tell Teddie you can't make it, but call me when you can okay?"

"I will, goodbye senpai."

I don't wanna push this, it could be nothing.

"Big broooo I'm backkk!"

Nanako runs to hug me and I pick her up.

"How was school?"

"It was fun, I relearned how to make chocolate."

Memories of Valentine's Day flash through my head...

Bad memories.

"Oh... that's uh- great Nanako..."

"Yup! But the one I made for you fell on the floor so I don't have any left."

Oh thank God.

"That's okay Nanako, maybe another time."

"Yup I'm going to make a delicious chocolate for you big bro!"

"I look forward to it."

I lie.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, what are you doing?"

"I think I'm going to meet my friends at Junes tomorrow."

"Ooooo I'd wish I could come but I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Next time. We'll throw a party to celebrate."

"That's great but... celebrate what?"

"Your birthday of course!"

"YAYYYYY!"

A little over one week from now. October 4th, gotta plan.

Tomorrow me and the gang meet at Junes. As always their song plays, "Everyday's great at your Junes"

"Wow partner I never expected you to sing."

Oh shoot he heard that?

I turn around and see everyone except Naoto.

Chie: "Wow we should send him to Hollywood."

Me: it's not a big deal, it just gets stuck in your head."

Yukiko: "So why are we here anyway? Youske kun, you said it was important."

Youske: "It is! At least that's what Teddie told me."

Teddie hasn't said a word, but he looks really worried.

Teddie: "Guys, we have a beaaary big problem."

Me: "What is it?"

A voice behind me answered for him.

Naoto: "The fog has returned."
