You suddenly wake up in what appears to be a city.... It's desolate, aside from the group that you see in the surrounding area. A large group, at that, consisting of Makoto Yuki, Yukari Takeba, Junpei Iori, Akihiko Sanada, Mitsuru Kirijo, and Fuuka Yamagishi. Supposedly, this isn't the full group.
There's an enemy- a Shadow- that the group is currently fighting. Makoto, supposedly their leader, apathetically gives commands to the group, instructing them to use different methods of attacks; seemingly regular weapons, such as bows and swords, or odd beings called Personas.
They seem to notice your presence, though defeating the enemy is their priority, so their attention is away from you for now. The Shadow seems to be somewhat formidable, as they seem to be slightly struggling against it.
