First Person: When I thought that I needed a vacation this isn't quite what I was thinking about to be honest...
[Minako's voice comes over the communicator, and there's a moment of silence before she speaks up again.]
Even if it was, I don't think things really work that way, so something's definitely weird here...
[Very weird and she sounds pretty unsettled, uncomfortable. She can feel her Personae who are trying to help her calm down a bit, but she can't feel any connection to the Great Seal which she gave her life to create and... She's wondering if she did something wrong. If she did something she wasn't supposed to, maybe...? She can't really remember.]
Um, if someone is hearing this, and has answers about what's going on, could you share them with me, maybe? Thanks!
[No reason to be rude after all, if there are people listening in here. As for any other question she might have... They'll have to wait until she can figure out of this.]
Third Person: It was a promise well-kept, though it had been very difficult to keep going for the time after the final battle. Even so, she'd managed, remembering even when no one else did, quietly waiting for graduation day to roll around. And even if she hadn't been able to keep her eyes open until her friends were at her side on the school's roof, she had been able to talk with Aigis and had been allowed to see Shinjiro awake and alive one last time, passing away peacefully in his lap though she knew that her consciousness was bound to return to the Great Seal to serve as the world's protector for however long was necessary. After all, that was how it had to be, even if she was sure her friends would dislike that outcome. Even if they would probably be upset with her for being the only one to lose their life out of the entire team.
Even so, she was happy with it, giving up her life for others, despite the fate that awaited her.
Needless to say, Minako was surprised, suddenly finding herself aboard a train rather than facing Erebus as she was supposed to be, little more than a consciousness trapped inside a statue crucified in front of a gate.
She'd gotten up from her seat, and looked out of the window, but the scenery was not exactly familiar and when she tried to remember how she'd gotten there, her memory turned up blank. Something was wrong and she felt panic hit her despite her reawakened Personae trying to help her settle down. Looking around and finding herself alone was not exactly reassuring either, though it wasn't like pacing around or freaking out would help any here. Answers were necessary, but nothing that could give those to her was around, so she sat back down, hands in her lap and her head turned toward the window, red eyes keeping an eye on the outside until she felt the train slow down and then come to a halt completely, heading for the doors the second they opened, looking around as soon as she was out- No, she didn't recognize this place at all. But then, weird phenomena happened around her all the time, and this was no different, even if her lack of connection to what she had given her life for sort of unsettled her more than just a bit.
Taking a step forward there was the sound of something hitting the ground and looking down, she spotted a watch. Blinking a couple of times then, she bent down to pick the item up. "Shinjiro-senpai's...?"
No, it looked different than his had. Popping it open, she found that it wasn't a watch at all. "Oh..."
A communicator, huh? So that should mean she wasn't alone at least. Which meant she could get some answers, which she definitely needed right now.
