Another full moon - but looks like SEES had company. Of course Strega wants to stop them - Takaya had gone on and on about Tartarus disappearing would make Persona users powerless. Which, is obvious - but Shinjiro thinks that its better if they get rid of the Dark Hour, since now theres been people wandering into Tartarus, coincidental or not.

Everyone’s celebrating the defeat of another big shadow, of course - but Shinjiros just lost in thought before turning to Akihiko, something along the lines of “Im gonna go clear my head”, or along those words. And now here he is, wandering the station outskirts. He stops in his tracks for a moment, hearing coughs.. not coughs, they sound like way more than that as he continues to walk.

And then it all clicks once he spots who it is - of course you’re one of them. He watches the Persona before it really kicks in, and without thinking he takes the last suppressant pill he has, well - for now, and forces it down your throat. “Don’t think - just.. swallow the damn pill.” He says, roughly.

It almost kicks in instantly; watching the Persona fade and you drop to the ground. He shouldn’t help you, he thinks - but.. he does anyway. He squats down to your height on the floor, visibly frowning. “You could have gotten yourself killed.” But he knows you can’t control it, because he’s the same as you.

“You gonna be okay?” He asks cautiously, his tough expression softening just a tad before it guards right back up.
