Akira Kursuru, this is for if you and I trade places-that is, if my existence is erased, and you suddenly reappear in your body without any memory of getting to where you are or why you're here, and so forth.
I am Arsene. Long story short, I am a manifestation of a hidden side of yours, called a Persona.
As the time of writing this, I have lived in your form for three days; getting us to our caretaker Sojiro-san for while on probation, meeting the heads of the school that accepted you, and a school day. This is the very early morning of the fourth day.
Due to my insistence, most here call me Ren, instead of your name.
While irrelevant to the topic, I suppose you'll have questions about me, Personas, where I came from before I woke up on the train.
Like I said, I am a manifestation of a hidden side of yours. One that became truly hidden only recently, although I know not the actual event. I was created at the moment of your birth in the Sea of Souls, (basically the before/afterlife) growing alongside you.
No, we did not experience the same life side-by-side. I am your sense of justice, your will to rebel against corruption, your knowledge that being painted as the Hero does not matter to you.
Back to the purpose of this journal.
Sojiro-san is an older man in glasses and sometimes a pink apron. Grumpy, but that may change. We live in the upper room above his cafe, Cafe Leblanc.
Sakamoto-san is a loud boy in Shujin Academy, the school we're learning at. He is dismissed as a rambunctious, slow, rebellious punk, but he is sharp and kind in emotional things, such as sticking close to us while the other students whisper about wild rumors about us (some of them I find hilarious, although you may not. Seriously, who thinks a steak knife would be something I could hide in our tiny bag filled with books?).
I'm.. not sure what else to say, for now.
Always return the way you came if the puddles splash purple and pink? That I hope i can find you soon, because I am but a part of you and is therefore physically and mentally unable to carry on your life forever? That I can see the potential of every student and nearly every teacher, and everyone has the potential to use a Persona in battle, and that's not normal?
I should get ready for school. I hope to write in here as often s I can, so you won't be lost if when I find you.
-Arsene.
