Persona 5 ~ Fallen Trickster (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 10 ~ Please...

Akano's POV

With a heavy heart, I made it to Leblanc. Sojiro was there as usual, asking me why I'm late. I didn't even know it was this late. "I was protecting someone who a thug was bothering." That lie was the best I could do. He sighs, telling me not to go crying to him if I get arrested. "By the way, you haven't been hanging around any bad influences lately? I'm not asking about that boy from yesterday but, his appearance..." I don't blame you, I normally wouldn't hang around people like Ryuji. But if it wasn't for what happened at the castle, I wouldn't have friends here. "I actually made another one." Ann's sad smile flashed in my head, forcing a small smile out of me. "I'm surprised people would want to hang out with you. How well do you know that boy?" He closes his newspaper. "Ever since the first day. Aside from his delinquent-like appearance, he's a good guy..." he protected me and even worries about me. I never thought I would meet someone like that after Akiro, "Anyway, I'm going to bed. Night." I wave and walked up the stairs.

Ugh, guess I have to write in this again, right? 

I made a new friend! Her name is Ann Takamaki and she is super nice. She has some baggage but I want to help her let go of that stress. I'm also... no, it's not that important to be in here.

Morgana's deal ring in my ears. After hearing Ann's troubles, I'm still at a crossroads. He's hurt so many. Ryuji, Mishima~Kun, Ann, Suzui, the entire volleyball and ex track teams. My thoughts drift me off to another world, I didn't know what I was doing in real life. "Aka~Tan?" I was brought back to me holding my phone to my ear. I look at it and I was calling Ryuji. Putting it on speaker, I speak. "S-Sorry Ryuji... this whole thing has got me a little shaken up. Especially after hearing Ann pour her heart out. I don't know what to do and it's pissing me off!" "Same here. Don't worry, we'll think of something. Don't worry, we won't kill him but make him confess." Ryuji's words gave me comfort. "Thanks. I guess I needed to hear that. I gotta get to bed, night." I hung up and did my night routine. I couldn't sleep. Knowing that this asshole has done this much and isn't repenting makes me... I don't even know now...

4/15/20XX

Another day at school. Mr. Ushimaru still happens to piss me off by his voice, Ann is staring out the window, I'm doodling in my book, and Morgana is in my desk. Wait, Morgana in my desk? "Have you made up your mind? No matter how much thinking you do, there's only one option. You'd be better off listening to me." This cat... no matter how pissed off I am that he scared me and this teacher's voice... it's too cute. "How the fuck did you get in there?" I whispered to him but Mr. Ushimaru heard him. We freaked out until he stopped, telling the class to shut up. Okay, I need to talk to this cat in private. "Um, Mr. Ushimaru? Can I go to the bathroom?" My arm raised up and awaited his approval. He did as Morgana jumped into my bag and I took it with me. I close the door and looked straight forward. A scene I will never want to play on the roof. "Morgana, find Ryuji. I'll be on the roof." I guess he understood because he left. And with that I ran to the roof. 

WARNING: SUICIDE ATTEMPT 

Ann's POV

"Hey... what's that...!?"

Of course Mr. Ushimaru got offended, telling him to sit down.

"Wait... she's going to jump...!"

The class got in an uproar. Who is it?

"Suzui...?"

No... "Shiho...?" I can't just sit back, get the fuck out of my way! I make it to the window and I saw her standing on the edge. Wait, someone's there...!

Akano's POV

"Shiho Suzui, STOP!" I barged the door open as I saw her turn around and face me. "Huh...? Kurusu...? Why are you here?" Tears fell off her face. No... I won't let this happen...! "I'm here to stop you! You can't do this!" I walk up to her, "I know what you're going through, Suzui. Wait, no. Shiho. You may see me as a stranger, but I won't let anyone go like this. Never...! Please... tell me and I'll help you unconditionally!" her gasp was high pitched but I didn't care. "He... he took everything away from me...! Volleyball... my body... my parents concern... everything!" Is she talking about Dog Shit...? Dog Shit did this...? That... "NO ONE CARES FOR ME NOR WILL CARE IF I JUST DIE NOW!" She turned around, about to jump, but I grab her arms. "You're wrong! Shiho, I care about you! We may not know each other properly, but I want to! Other than Ryuji, you were the only one was still kind to me no matter what the rumors said! You were also not afraid of me! It's not just me, Ann too! She... she's dating Mr. Kamoshida so that you can have a spot on the team!" I can't let her die like this. "Wh-what...?" "I'll be with you! I'll protect you! You won't go through this alone, Shiho! I won't let you die... never!" I pull her up while also seeing that all the students are out of their classes, observing us.
