Persona 5 - The Answer

The Answer

About 8 months ago, just before the battle against Yaldaboth...

Elizabeth's POV

This is beyond frustrating. Every plan I have ever come up with ends the same, the fall. And that would make his sacrifice pointless...

Maybe it's just impossible. Maybe he just doesn't get to live... no. I won't let that happen.

"He will live again! I swear it."

"Such resolve is commendable... and foolish, sister."

My older and younger sisters: Margret and Lavenza.

Me: "Are you here to mock?"

Margret: "No, I'm here to help."

Me: "You? You are here to help me? When I told you about my plans you said it was immature and stupid... why the sudden change of heart?"

Margret: "I stand by my statement, but I guess I'm a little bit stupider now too."

Lavenza: "I as well. When my beloved trickster finally fused me back together with his own hands, I realised how much I cherished him, and so, if my Trickster was ever in the same position as your Yuki Kun, I would probably do the same thing as you."

Margret: "As would I, I cannot lie to myself anymore, I am like you in many ways sister, and I would have it no other way."

That's... nice.

Me: "Thank you sisters... I do not know what to say."

Margret: "It is the least we can do, now what is your plan?"

Me: "I only have one plan that has a chance, I would have to replace him as the great seal."

Lavenza: "Assuming that we would EVER let you do something as crazy as that, why haven't you done that?"

Me: "Because the free second it would take is more than enough for Erebus to get to Nyx, and it has learned from past experience, and it is more angry than ever... if Erebus gets to Nyx again, there will be no stopping the fall."

Lavenza: "I see... wait. you said a second is all it needs, what if it didn't exist for that second?"

Me: "Defeating it first won't work, it still would come back too fast."

Lavenza: "No you don't understand, I have just sent my Trickster and the Phantom Thieves off to fight the God of control, if they are successful, the world will reset for a second, during that time...

Me: "We would be able to free Makoto's Soul! And replace it with mine!"

Margret: "In theory yes, but there's a problem, have you ever considered the possibility that you aren't strong enough to hold back Erebus?"

Me: "That's preposterous. Even my beloved Makoto Yuki isn't that strong, that's like saying Narukami Kun is stronger than you."

Margret: "They have both bested us before, but even if we never used our true power you are forgetting something, that seal is someone's life force, plus the power of the Universe arcana. Not even we wield that power, it's possible you are strong enough, but it's possible you are not."

No. I have to be. It's the only way!

Me: "I have to-"

Margret: "We would never allow that anyway sister, but fear not, I believe I have a solution."

A solution?

Me: "What is it?"

Margret: "Right now the beast isn't attacking correct?"
