Ryan: Why so much power?
???: Because, you desire change so desperately
Ryan: I guess?
???: Crush the Ace
*does so, and groans loudly, enter Awakening*
*enter Freedom and Security*
Ryan: Woah.... why did my clothes change?
Pale Rider: Because of your strongest desire or how you view yourself. Which, in your case, death
Ryan: Death?!?!
Pale Rider: Yes, but I will not get into detail, you'll find the answer yourself
Ryan: So, Pale Rider— Wait, why do I know your name?
Pale Rider: Because we are one, as the saying goes: "I art thou, thou art I".
Ryan: Oh, so what now?
Pale Rider: You go back to your world and I'll explain things the next time you come back to Mementos
Ryan: Mementos?
Pale Rider: Yes, this world is a memorial for the people you have lost throughout your life. I'll explain more when you come back
Ryan: Ok, how do I leave?
Pale Rider: Right, it's through that TV
Ryan: Thanks, JJ
Pale Rider: JJ?
*in bed, enter Iwatodai Dorm*
Ryan: What the hell was that?
*transition to the 26th, July*
*ffs to Mementos, enter Freedom and Security*
Pale Rider: So, you really came back
Ryan: Duh, gotta learn a lot of stuff. So, why does this place exist?
Pale Rider: This place was made by the Blackened to remind everyone of their past
Ryan: The Blackened?
Pale Rider: The Blackened is a powerful human being who wants to make everyone miserable
Ryan: Oh, anyway, what's up with the Ace?
Pale Rider: That is what is known as a Summon. A Summon is how people view you, how you view yourself, or your innermost desire. For you, it's your innermost desire.
Ryan: Ah, but what are Summons used for?
Pale Rider: To fight enemies and defeat the Blackened. Summons can also be leveled up and unlock new skills and abilities
Ryan: Sounds awesome!
Pale Rider: Yes, it is, how about we start with a mission
Ryan: How do we start one?
Pale Rider: We just need a name
Ryan: Hmm, can we do this tomorrow night?
Pale Rider: Sure, sweet dreams!
Ryan: Good night, Rider
*ff to morning, enter Iwatodai Dorm*
Ryan: Say, Oli, what's that bully's name?
Oli: Why? You're not gonna do some dumb shit, are you?
Ryan: 'Course not!
Oli: His name is Osama Kitagawa
Ryan: Ah, ok
*ffs to Mementos, enter Freedom and Security*
Ryan: His name Osama Kujikawa
Pale Rider: Before we start the mission, there's something that I must tell you. There's a risk the person dies, only if you kill him in this world.
Ryan: So... What happens if we don't kill him?
Pale Rider: He'll become a new man and the guilt of his past burdens him to the point of telling the person they've been treating wrong
Ryan: I see
Pale Rider: So, are you still down for this?
Ryan: Yes, let's do it
Pale Rider: Alright, I'll teach you along the way
*Ep ends with the Blackened laughing*
