[Yoite is curled up into himself, with his back against the wall and his knees against his chest. His hands are over his ears and his eyes are wide.]

I don't understand. What's- my head-

Is someone reading my mind again?

[Then, suddenly, he flies into a rage; it's like night and day, seeing him like this. He's thrashing one arm about, index finger ( Read more... )

You were trying to help me, and it hurt you. You shouldn't be so forgiving to something like me.

I'm going to die.

["Something"? Chie frowns.]

Hey. Can you look at me?

You're not going to die. OK? I won't let it happen. I'll protect you.

Satonaka. Chi-e. [His eyes close.] I'm going to die. Soon, probably. It comes closer every day. I can feel it better than I can feel anything else.

But, I'm not finished here, yet. So, I'll hold out a little longer.

[Chie frowns a little deeper. He sounds so sad.]

Yoite-kun, is it OK if I come sit over there with you? I won't get too close, OK?

You can sit. I won't mind.

OK.

[Chie slowly makes her way over toward Yoite on her knees, holding her side - it's not that far, and standing up is a little more than she can handle, yet. She sits next to him, back against the wall, at what she thinks is a good distance. She's quiet for a minute, then turns to him.]

I'm gonna protect you. It's what I do, back home - protect people.

I don't know how to protect anyone. Not even Miharu. Miharu is important to me.

How do you do it?

I have ...

[She hesitates - she's never told anyone here or anyone in Inaba not directly involved about her Persona. Still, maybe if she opens up to Yoite, he'll understand that she just wants to help him.]

I have a power. And I have friends. We work together. We trust each other and we work together to save people, protect them.

All I do is hurt people. I can't ever shed my heavy mound of corpses.

Well, hey, you didn't hurt me too badly.

[It's ... partially true, anyway. She's trying to make a point.]

And I'm gonna be fine. Takes more than that to knock me down for good!

I don't really want to kill you.

So don't. Simple as that.

[And she smiles at him, the best she can muster, given the circumstances.]

You're bleeding, Chi-e. [It's a little, odd, the way he says her name.]

I am? Where?
