You what?

After Logan and the guys left she went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. She then curled up with her face in to her knees. She didn't want others to see her this vulnerable. She sobbed, "Ryu, am I doing the right thing? Will...will this earn me your forgiveness? Even...if I don't deserve it...is it wrong to hope for it?"

She stayed under the warm shower and came out with red and puffy eyes. She was then surprised as she saw Logan and Victor in her room. Victor whistled at her which, caused her to frown and raise two fingers and used Zio to give him a light electric shock. Victor laughed, "I knew there were some sparks between us."

Fiona said, "I can also give you something cold as well." She humphed before she looked at both of them, "Why are you here? Wanting to see me getting dressed? Doesn't that make the old farts into old perverts?"

Victor said, "We aren't old farts...I can show you how young I am." He then licked his lips playfully.

Fiona exhaled, "Besides the tigers thirst, what are you doing here?"

Logan asked, "Who's Ryu?" He looked up and saw her froze from scolding Victor.

Fiona said, "He...is someone I knew. Don't you know that's illegal to read someone's mail." She then moved to snatch it away from Logan, who had only seen the name on the envelope.

Victor said, "We're going with you." He then moved to pounce on her.

She said, "Like hell you are, this is my job...my responsibility. Yours is to go deal with the idiot snakes. I can barely control my own power and protect myself. The ones inside, are far more powerful than those low leveled shadows that came out before. Who knows if we face shadows like Lucifer, Loki or the Reaper. Trust me, those guys are scary especially, the reaper; I have seen him one shot people before and I had to use so many healing and revival items to keep us alive enough to GTFO."

Victor raised an eyebrow before she said, "It means Get The F Out. Needless to say, going in there is practically a death sentence for normal people."

Victor said, "More reason why we should come. We aren't normal people. We can heal quickly...and we like to fight."

Fiona exhaled knowing she wouldn't win, "Fine but, you have to stick with me and follow my orders. I suggest grabbing some supplies, a weapon and armor. Maybe a bag to pick up some of their drops so. I can get Theo to make you some better stuff."

Victor and Logan saw she had been crying but, didn't say anything. After Logan left Victor stayed, "So, you often cry in the shower?"

Fi said bitterly, "Only when I think about how my powers awakened. I...don't like that story...too much tragedy and it didn't exactly have an ending I would call as great."

He said, "That bad huh? So, you throw yourself in training and your music."

Fi said, "An heir from a big military clan died and the oldest was disowned due to her incompetence and her involvement in the experiment that killed said heir and 500,000 people. So, no...not a good ending."

She moved to make tea and was stopped by Victor via a hug before taking her inside her bedroom to comfort her.

She got out of her room kind of embarrassed and just went to wash up in the shower before putting on her armor and put on a fox mask.

Victor said, "So, that's your armor? Very chicke."

Fiona said, "My uniform outside, inside the Metaverse my outfit will change due to my 'Will of rebellion.' You'll see when we get there."

Logan sniffed, "I didn't know you were close."

Fiona said, "We aren't, he was just hugging me until, I calmed down." She waved her hand before taking out a cell phone from her time and pressed a few buttons and said, "Mementos," Then the area started to ripple and slow down before the three appeared infront of a hotel.

Victor said, "So, a hotel...I thought you said that there'd be enemies. I only see people lining up front."

Fiona said, "This is someone's palace...and due to the name written above...I think, it's mine which, is weird. Cause, those with a Persona can't have one." She pointed to the sign that said, 'Sanctuary Hotel'.

Logan said, "Isn't a palace a castle not a hotel?"

Fiona said, "nope, I mean...it can be but, I have only seen it be a castle twice. Usually, it's just that person's cognition. I once had a person think Shibuya was his bank, another thought his crappy chateau was a museum. one of my junior's thought that his grandma's craft shop was a bath house. God, that last one was embarrassing...all the guys in our group refused to go in because of that and had us girls push them inside."

She said, "And you can ignore those guys, they are just background. The Shadows should be inside the Hotel." She moved toward a side entrance she saw and you could see her clothes changed into a tux with a duster like jacket and red gloves.

Victor said, "Your clothes did change...Why the suit though..."

Fi said, "I dunno, I am still learning Cognitive Psyence...and I doubt, I will know everything about this place. It changes every so often due to its connection to the human mind. So, don't be surprised if you see a double of all three of us. If you do find your Shadow, just accept it and what it says. It's a part of you and accepting it will let you have a persona. If you don't and kill it well, you'll be in trouble."

The three went down from a window and saw a hall of paintings. She exhaled as the boys were looking at the paintings, "They are my comrades...That picture is of the first generation of Persona Users, second generation and so on. That one is my friends and this one..." She pointed to each one to explain until, she got to one that was covered.

A person came down that looked like Fiona with two guards and said, "That one is of the one we killed. Isn't that right Kinslayer?"

Fiona said, "It was the Ghouls who killed Ryu, not me."

The person smiled, "Oh but, this is how we feel. If it weren't for us working on that project, He wouldn't have died and we wouldn't see our parents grieving and disappointed eyes. Isn't that right me?"
