SEES had actually gotten quite crowded lately. And that was a good thing!

Aigis, Koromaru, Ken... and now Shinjiro, the last member to join. With more persona users in the squad, exploring Tartarus and defeating shadows were much easier than before.

Just like the others, Shinjiro started to live in the Iwatodai Dormitory, having his own room.

Some of the other members didn't know Shinjiro that well before he had joined the squad. Mitsuru and Akihiko had known Shinjiro since middle school, so they could notice how Shinjiro had been acting strange ever since he had joined SEES again.

And it was only normal for you to want to get to know your team members.

As you walked up the stairs to the next floor, you thought about how to approach Shinjiro... He seemed a bit cold, but he was definitely not a bad guy. Maybe it would be easier to talk to him if he warmed up to you a little more.

Once in front of his room, you didn't even think twice before abruptly going inside. The action was just too planned, you didn't even consider knocking on the door like any other person would.

Shinjiro was on his bed, seeming to be... taking pills. Was he taking drugs? Yes, but those weren't just normal drugs, you've seen those pills before...

Those were Persona suppressors. Shinjiro was taking them, just as you stood there by the doorway.

You've heard about those drugs before. Persona users took those suppressors to keep their Personas under control, but it had serious side effects such as... literally dying.

Shinjiro's eyes met yours while you were frozen. After a second of silent eye contact, he scoffed and averted his gaze to the side, eyes narrowed as his expression hardened.

"Learn how to fuckin' knock, goddamnit..." He grumbled in a low tone under his breath.

Nobody knew that he took suppressants, not even Akihiko. You were the only one who knew it and he didn't like that at all.
