It was so sudden. Fuuka had been walking to the library to read, when someone pulled her in a classroom so quickly she didn't even have time to grab her Evoker.
Matt pulled her in the classroom, shutting the door and pinning her to the wall, not closely, but enough that she couldn't get away or get her Evoker. He put one hand on her mouth.
"Listen. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to ask a couple questions. I've heard that you can find and track people. Is this true?" She nodded, like he knew she would. "I need you to find someone for me. I'm sorry for asking in this manner, but I couldn't ask by owl. Would you?" Fuuka nodded. "Good. Thanks." He let her go and stepped back.
Fuuka spent a minute catching her breath and getting her pulse back to normal. "How did...how did you know I..."
Matt shrugged. "I'm a hacker too. And I've seen you with that thing you summon. I took a stab in the dark." He was lying, but how could he tell Fuuka that he saw her in a video game?
Fuuka stood up straight. "Who am I looking for?"
"His name's Karasu. He's a demon. He likes to terrorize people, and if there were anything resembling laws in this place, he'd be arrested for assault and rape. His name's not on the popcorn plaque, or I wouldn't worry. Black hair, pale, wears a mask over his mouth."
Fuuka listened, nodded, and pulled her Evoker. "Sorry," she said to Matt before pulling the trigger. She was surprised that he didn't even flinch. Maybe he had seen her summon Juno before?
Fuuka closed her eyes, using her Persona's powers to see the whole school. All over the school she looked. She could find demons, she could even find raven-haired demons, but there was none that had the name Karasu or a mask on his face.
"Is there any other name he might go by?"
"No."
"There is a Kuro..."
"Kuronue's on our side. He's not Karasu."
Fuuka opened her eyes. "There is no Karasu here, then, Jeevas-san."
Matt made a funny face. "Call me Matt." He had forgotten about that, that how she tracked everyone's health also gave her their names.
Fuuka dismissed Juno. "Matt, then. I'm Fuuka."
"Pleasure. Listen. If you happen to find him here again, be sure to owl me. And don't try to confront him yourself. I don't want to think of what he'll do to you."
"I understand."
"Thanks again," Matt said as he opened the door. Fuuka smiled before heading to her destination, while Matt headed to his room.
