Terry will admit he wasn't one to get involved with other people unless he thinks that both parties can come to an agreement.
But he doesn't have a choice he's literally in another universe or alternate reality and what bothers him is that an organization of very little supernatural powered people who are still high school kids are fighting something that could kill them.
Of course the EXO organization isn't exactly any better but at least they check if someone actually has potential or not.
Like max who had his abilities sealed under a mental block even with out his abilities he still managed to get scouted.
And that's because he actually had the potential to become a powerful exorcist when he becomes older.
A part of him was somewhat jealous because unlike him Terry had to do jobs on the underground business like killing sertant people but he wasn't a monster he only came after those who deserved it.
And also finding and stealing something to give to the client.
This gave him the title of black rabbid which he didn't care about.
But his thoughts aside what was bothering him is that if sees was going to recruit Fuuka because she has a persona and one who can analyze enemies and be use for scouting.
That worried him because Fuuka doesn't have any combat experience not to mention the poor girl doesn't look like the type.
He knows that fighting the supernatural can lead to some bad scaring. Both physically and mentally.
He knows because he meet some subjects that went through the some process as he did thier bodies morphed and misshapen and thier cries for their suffering to end.
Just thinking of that made him want to puke.
But he has an objective and try to keep Fuuka out of this mess.
Sure he doesn't know Fuuka to the point that he would call her a friend but the girl reminded him of his sister
someone who cares for others and one who actually gave a damn about her brother despite him being ill.
There's no way he will get her involved in this situation.
On that morning he woke up and went to mitsuru and asked on the hospital Fuuka was in.
She told her the address of the hospital and went there.
Thanks to his body modification he would stand out in a crowd but since spiritually aware people can see his real form to normal people he looks like a regular person.
He managed to get to the hospital and when they asked him why he was here he said that he was a friend of Fuuka which of course was a semi lie.
They gave him her room number and he went there and when he entered he room he saw her in a hospital gown and was looking at him like she saw a ghost.
Fuuka: Terry!?
Terry: yo. Surprised to see me?
Fuuka: um kind of. So all that wasn't a dream?
He walked near a stool and sat down beside her.
Terry: nope it wasn't.
Fuuka was lost in thought for a moment and looked back at him.
Fuuka: so that power. Lucia it was also real.
Terry: yeah. Apparently that power is called persona and also to trigger it you will basically have to be suicidal.
Fuuka was confused but she remembered that she put a gun to her temple and shot herself.
Fuuka: that's. Not funny.
Terry: no. No it isn't.
Fuuka then remembered something.
Fuuka: so those rabbits were those your persona?
Terry: nope thier something different. And more handy then a persona.
Fuuka: why is that?
Terry: well.
He didn't demonstrated but from his shadow holiday appeared jumping on top of his head which left Fuuka stunned.
Fuuka: you can still use them?
Terry: yeah I'm guessing that you can't use your persona outside the tower?
Fuuka: no. I can still feel Lucia's presence within me but it's less potent then before.
Terry: that's a problem
Fuuka: how did you find me?
Terry: some guys that are aware of this thing called the dark hour and apparently it's an alternative time that only appears in midnight at 12 am. And from they told me you spent 10 days in there but to you it was 10 hours.
Fuuka: I see. These people I remember that are yukari Akihiko mitsuru and that transfer student.
Terry: there a group of persona users called sees and they are fighting the shadows.
Fuuka: those creatures I could sense that they were different much stronger and unique.
Terry: about that. The group found out that those shadows appeared in the full moon and this didn't wasn't the first time this happened the first one appeared in the dorms and the second one took over a monorail.
Fuuka took a moment to process the information and she decided to ask some to be sure before she decides.
Fuuka: these guys are fighting against the shadows in order to end the dark hour?
Terry: you plan on joining them?
Fuuka: yeah.
Terry: are you positive? Because that would mean that you would be risking your life and you don't look like the kind of person to fight back. Your more of a pacifist.
Fuuka: I know but I have this power and I can help them moriama also died to the shadows and she wasn't the only victim of them.
Terry pinched the bridge of his nose he knows that is hypocritical for him to tell her to not put her life at risk while he doesn't that on a daily basis but Fuuka isn't a fighter nor someone to be capable of holding grudges.
And just by looking at her eyes she won't back down from this no matter how many times he tries. So he gave up.
Terry: fine I won't stop you but don't do anything stupid one mistake and it can have consequences.
Fuuka: thank you Terry.
Terry: call me t we aren't not exactly strangers anymore so you can call me by my nickname name.
Fuuka: um okay. T.
Terry: you'll get used to it.
Holiday: don't do anything to the poor girl.
Fuuka was caught of guard when the rabbit could talk.
Terry: what do you take me for? I'm not the kind of guy who puts pressure on girls. And besides you know that I'm a good with kids.
Holiday: uh huh sure.
The rabbit wasn't conceived and jumped black into his shadow.
Terry: don't mind her she's a snarky little rabbit that almost aks like my mom.
Fuuka: i didn't think that she could talk.
Terry: you'd be surprised on what else you don't know about me.
He got up and said goodbye to fuuka who left to her own devices.
Terry went back to the dorms and he saw that it was empty he then remembered that they are probably in school.
since he had nothing better to do he decided to go to gekkokhan.
He jumped on top train to not get any attention.
When he got to land he used the shadows to approach gekkokan without being noticed he had to admit.
he had to admit for a school it's pretty beautiful.
He decided to stay in the shadow pool and sent holiday and see through her eyes.
Him and her were linked via a contract so their minds were linked.
He sent clones of her to where he can sense the student's presence.
One of the clones appeared in a classroom and through its eyes he could see Makoto yukari and Junpei.
The clone didn't move from its spot because since the rabbits are connected to him they have a minimal connection to his shadow ability so when they stay in the shadows they are invisible to normal people even to spiritually aware people.
Though some who have advanced senses can catch them hiding.
Another clone was in a class room on the third floor were mitsuru was at with a girl with brown long hair and glasses.
Another was in a gym were Akihiko was teaching boxing techniques and sparring with his rookie boxers.
He remembered that Akihiko was wearing boxing gloves and this explains why he's skilled at fighting.
Time passed and it was now after school and Akihiko went back to his class room to help out the teachers and mitsuru went to the counseling room.
He guessed this explained a lot of her character.
The clone that was watching the 3 students split itself into 3 and they warped into the shadow of yukari Junpei and Makoto.
This could be considered stalking but Terry have nothing better to do he wasn't planning on attending school not with his condition.
And not to mention he didn't think that school wasn't gonna help him In anything anymore.
The 3 students went through different activities.
Yukari went to the Archie team and she was skilled at a bow and it was a sight to see.
He's learned more on the origins on how they got their skills in combat but still with their abilities restricted to another plane of reality yeah that's one downside.
His personal opinion on the power of persona is mixed on one hand their powerful in Thier own right but the one down side is that when you leave something like the dark hour you're practically a normal human.
No enhanced strength,durability,speed nothing.
Before he came to gekkokahn he sneaked into the control room and read some past records those that were actually important.
First it was the first incident of the first full moon shadow.
Apparently it happened after Makoto appeared and not to mention there were records of Makoto being monitored.
This just made him more suspicious of Makoto since he was an anomaly and from passed records there were no full moon shadows before Makoto transferred and they only appeared right after he came to attend gekkokahn.
He might have to keep an eye on Makoto since apparently he is an unique case.
First the full moon shadows appeare and apparently he has the power to wield more than one persona.
If that doesn't scream red flags than you can call him an idiot.
But that aside he focused on watching the students.
He focused on Makoto and saw him talking to a girl with dark skin and another dark skinned boy who were in a nurses office.
They were talking about how the boy named kazushi suddenly tripped while running and the girl named yuko took him to the nurses office with Makoto helping her.
When yuko left the office because she had things to do as a team captain and kaz explained that he has a limp and he can't run well.
Overall Makoto just listened and talked to kaz like a silent but helpful listener.
Meanwhile Junpei was outside of school in a batting cage.
He remembered that Junpei was swinging his sword like a bat so he guessed that he came here to practice his swings.
Time passed and they went back to the dorms he decided to go back too.
As he passed by an alley he felt someone behind him.
He gathered shadows on the wall and he pulled out his modified gun and turned and aim at his stalker.
However when he turned there was no one there aside from a cat sitting on a vent.
He didn't put his gun away he focused on his senses but he didn't feel anyone near him aside from civilians.
After a while of standing there he dropped his gun and it sunk into his shadow like dropping a stone in water.
He kept his guard up because if he knew anything about himself is that his instincts saved him more than once.
On top of a roof above Terry. 3 figures looked at him one with curiosity and interest.
Another with a scowl.
And one with a blank face.
Takaya: interesting he's not exactly human and he's not a shadow and yet he sensed us. Good thing that chidori can still use a bit of her power or else we would be in trouble.
Jin: he's not even a persona user but he radiates power far more than us outside of the dark hour.
Takaya: he's definitely an interesting case in this show no persona but still has the power to fight in the dark hour. Its a shame though we could have recruited him but judging by what we saw last night he probably wouldn't even if we approached him.
Jin: are you sure is okay to let him live for all we know he can be a problem.
Takaya: don't worry about that for now we will cross that bridge in dou time. For now we will keep and eye out for this individual.
