Day 45: Sun Room
Despite the bit of bravado he'd displayed for Yuffie's sake, seeing her that way really had done a number on him. It was a good thing he'd found the bulletin board afterward. Having it confirmed that this state wasn't normal (was, in fact, new as of that morning) made it much easier to think positive. They'd get back the Yuffie they knew one way

"Okay, so S.E.E.S. officially stands for Student Extracurricular Entertainment Squad. What it really stands for is Student extracurricular Execution Squad. You see... there are really twenty-five hours in a day. During the extra hour, called the Dark Hour, monsters that are like negative emotions all compounded together come out to prey on normal people, sucking their will to live out of them. It's called Apathy Syndrome," he explained in a hushed voice. "Anyways, almost everyone doesn't experience the Dark Hour, so they don;t know it's even there. But there are some of us with the Potential that do experience it. And out of them there are some that have the unique ability to manifest their psyche into what we call Persona. It's those people, the members of S.E.E.S., that go out during the Dark Hour and fight the Shadows, trying to stop Apathy Syndrome from spreading. Hopefully, we'll find a way to completely stop it."

“Anyway,” she started again, looking up at him. “It sounds pretty hard. I wish you and your friends luck!”
It was impossible to think about a twenty fifth hour existing when you never slept - she wondered if such a time existed in Forks? And if so, she wondered if Edward ever experienced it.

"I used to think of myself as a cool hero that everyone would cheer and all. But then again... no one would know what I did. I'm okay with that now, actually." Anyways, what had she asked about all-nighters?
"As for all-nighters? Well, the Dark Hour is at midnight every night, but unless you have the Potential, you or anyone doing an all-nighter, would just transmogrify like everyone else and not even know that hour passed. When the Dark Hour was over, they'd resume life just like there hadn't even been that extra hour."
