Unknown Girl's POV

Two people with the potential, shadows attacking patients when it's not the dark hour, this is bad. They don't go to my school, so how am I supposed to get them to join? The one who died had the potential too. Saving her brother is a noble deed, but the consequences..... At least the other two survived.

Akihiko's POV

Shinji is leading me to the dorms we're going to stay at since the orphanage burned down. It seems like he's relieved, but also worried. Our rooms are close to each other, so it's fine with me. I start unpacking my things when I hear something.

"You shall be a contributor to the salvation of this world, but you shall suffer more losses. However, you shall meet others who shall help you with those losses, and who have lost loved ones like you have. The power you have awoken to shall be your new strength."

Shinjiro's POV

I hope that Akihiko can get over Miki soon. I'm still sad, but he's really depressed. Then, I hear a voice.

"You shall be a contributor to the salvation of this world, but you shall suffer pain that no other contributor will suffer. The one whom you can always count on you know already."

Third Person POV

Miki has died saving Aki, Shinji is hoping for the best, and some unknown girl wants to recruit Aki and Shinji for something. This is the authors perspective on how Akihiko Sanada, and Shinjiro Aragaki started their experiences with Personas and the Dark Hour.
