Chapter 23: Justice For All. (Part Two)

Despite their heavy school work, the Persona-users managed to make time for Nanako’s party preparations. Souji and Shinjiro have already decided what to cook for the main course and finished up their grocery shopping. The same goes for Minako and her small team, where the female leader will bake the cake the night before and finish the final touches at the last minute. As far as entertainment was concerned, Yosuke and Junpei had a huge argument over the appropriateness of Teddie’s choices. Luckily, Minato had it resolved by a simple solution – scrap all of the bear’s ideas and replace it with something more child-friendly. In short, the dorm was noisier than usual. They made sure to cancel any plans they had on the tragic-turned-special day.

 

On the big day...

 

Ken made his way to Yasoinaba Elementary School. He was told by Souji that Nanako would be late because it was her turn on the duty roster today.

 

“Why me of all people? I know what Souji-san said, but couldn’t he send Minako-san or any of the girls instead?” the pre-teen grumbled as he made his way to the front school gate. “I hope it’s not the ‘adult stuff’ crap that grown-ups keep spouting...”

 

Just then, the school bell rang, and the courtyard became filled with a mass of noisy children. Some of them had their parents pick them up, while the rest walked home, most of them in groups. Ken waited patiently, but began feeling uncomfortable as girls from his school who were passing by, giggled and pointed at him. He tried turning his back to them, but it only made him look weird and suspicious. Even from afar, he could hear them whispering his name, fawning over him with hearts in their eyes (not that he noticed). Some of them swooned when he accidentally made eye contact. He sighed. ‘So this is what Akihiko-san goes through every day. Junpei-san says that he’s lucky to have girls pay attention to him all the time...it’s nothing but a huge headache...’

 

A girl wearing his school’s uniform, whom he didn’t recognize, approached him. “You’re Amada-kun, right?” she asked.

 

“Yes. What of it?”

 

“I saw you during soccer practice the other day. You’re so cool and awesome!” she squealed.

 

“It was nothing special...” Ken mumbled. As she started to shower him with praise, more girls surrounded him. He felt extremely uncomfortable that tuning out their high-pitched voices became more and more difficult.

 

“Ah! It’s Ken-kun!”

 

Recognizing the voice, the young brunette pushed his way out of the crowd, coming face-to-face with the girl he was waiting for. “Nanako-chan!”

 

“What are you doing here?” Nanako asked curiously. She noticed the group of middle school girls. “Are they your friends?” she asked, oblivious to the jealousy building up inside them.

 

“I don’t know their names, but never mind them,” he said, brushing them off. “Anyway, your brother asked me to pick you up today. Want to stop by somewhere?”

 

“Amada-kun, who’s this?!” one of the fangirls demanded.

 

“Hi, I’m Nanako Dojima! Nice to meet you!” The little girl held out her hand for a handshake. She deflated when it wasn’t returned, only to be met with audible whispers.

 

“Dojima...isn’t that the detective’s daughter?” a girl from the back sneered.

 

“That’s right. Her dad worked on the mysterious serial killings last year...”

 

“So this is the brat who got the award from that visiting politician...” another girl sniffed.

 

“Haven’t you heard? She’s the one who infected everyone in the hospital with that nasty fog disease...”

 

Ken clenched his fists, especially at the last part. ‘Even though these people don’t know the real story behind Nanako-chan’s sickness, it doesn’t give them the right to spread rumors like that!’ he thought angrily.

 

Nanako pulled on his jacket sleeve. “Ken-kun, let’s go...” she whimpered softly.

 

“You’re right. We have better things to do than spread false rumors,” he said the final part a little too sharply, clearly aiming at the gossiping girls. He gave them one last glare before heading off.

 

They made a quick stop at Madam Shiroku’s shop for before Ken suggested they stop by the shrine, to buy more time for the others at the dorm. They sat together in front of the offertory box to enjoy their snacks.

 

Ken scratched the back of his head apologetically, still feeling guilty. “I’m really sorry about those girls back there...”

 

Nanako shook her head. “It’s okay. People say mean things all the time. I try to not let it get to me.” She handed him half of her sweet bun. “The shrine is so peaceful today. Usually it’s filled with boys trying to catch bugs.”

 

“Bugs? Aren’t girls usually afraid of bugs?”

 

“I think they’re cute! Don’t you?”

 

“Yeah...if you say so...” was all he could say. ‘This is so awkward...why must talking with girls be so difficult?’

 

It finally hit Nanako that she was alone...with her crush. She quickly turned away so Ken couldn’t see her red face. Awkward indeed. “Umm... Ken-kun?”

 

“Yes, Nanako-chan?”

 

“Ah...umm...how...h-how did you get so t-tall?” she blurted out of the blue. She turned a little so she could see his reaction.

 

Ken stared at her. ‘Cute...’ He blinked, cheeks heating up. ‘Huh? Where did that come from?!’ He looked in another direction, scratching the back of his head. “W-Well...I did drink a lot of milk when I was in elementary school...”

 

Nanako's expression brightened up. “Really? So, if I drink milk every day I'll be big and strong like you and Big Bro?”

 

“Just don't drink too much at once. Trust me, it can give you one bad tummy ache.” He forced out a small laugh, recalling the upset stomachs just so he could (what he believed back then) grow taller in a short time span. Nanako giggled, her laughter echoing through the empty shrine. However, it didn't last long when the awkward silence befell them once again. Ken groaned inwardly. ‘Ugh...why didn't I bring Koromaru with me? He’s always helped me with this kind of situation.’ The Shiba Inu always knew what to do to liven up conversations. ‘Talking to a girl younger than me...feels really weird...’

 

A soft thug on his sleeve snapped him out of his thoughts. “Ken-kun? You okay?” Nanako asked, confused. “You've been really quiet...”

 

“I-I'm okay! Really!” Ken flustered. “It's just...” He then let out a huge sigh. “I'm sorry, Nanako-chan. I just got a lot on my mind lately.”

 

“Do you wanna talk about it?” she asked softly. “Sometimes it helps.”

 

“Can I...can I tell you something?” The older brunette twiddled his thumbs. “The guys at the dorm already know this, but...can you keep it a secret from everyone else?”

 

At Nanako’s nod. Ken continued. “Today...is my mom’s death anniversary. I just found out from Souji-san that today is also your birthday. I feel confused...on how to feel about it.”

 

“Oh...umm...” Not knowing what to say, Nanako munched on her bun.

 

“I was eight when my mom was killed. The police reports said that it was an accident, but I witnessed the whole thing. They didn’t believe my story. By luck, two years later I found out who the culprit was...I was so mad...mad enough that I wanted to kill him just as he killed her. I wanted justice for Mom, so she could finally rest in peace.” He clenched his fists. “But it didn’t go as planned. Shinjiro-san ended up in a coma because of my mistake...I made Minako-san cry...Minato-san looked like he wanted to kick me off the team...I screwed up big time.” He covered his face, arms on his knees.

 

“You...you sounded a lot like my dad,” Nanako said sadly.

 

“Huh? What do you mean?”

 

A downcast frown formed on her lips. “When my mom died, I thought that it was my fault because she got hit by a car while picking me up from school. Dad really wanted to catch the guy who did it. Even when he got home, he would work. He never spent any time with me, always coming back late. I felt that he cared more about his work than me, and he never talked about her. Big Bro said that he’s just protecting me, but it didn’t feel that way. They even fought about it. If it wasn’t for Big Bro, I think I might have hated my dad forever.”

 

“I see. You’re very lucky to have a brother like Souji-san, Nanako-chan.”

 

“Mhm! Even if I’m sad that my mom is gone, I still have Dad. And I’m not lonely anymore because I got a big brother and lots of friends.” She looked up at Ken with shining eyes. “I think you’re lucky, too. You still have a family, even if they’re not related by blood. Big Bro taught me that even if you’re not related by blood doesn’t mean that you can’t become a ‘real’ family. Isn’t that a reason not to be sad anymore?”

 

“You’re right...” For the first time in a while, Ken smiled. “I think...I think my mom can finally rest in peace, knowing that I finally realized her death was just an accident, and it was no one’s fault. I feel happy as well, knowing that there are still people who care about me, supporting me no matter what. They’re my family now.” He thought about the twin leaders, Yukari, Junpei and Fuuka, the siblings he never had; Mitsuru, the matronly sister who worries about everything; Shinjiro and Akihiko, who will always have his back and interests at heart; Aigis and Metis, the girls he could confide in; and Koromaru, his partner and companion. Not to forget the friends he made here in Inaba, the new additions to his family.

 

“Dad is still trying to catch the bad guy that hit my mom. Not just because that’s his job, it’s also because he’s my dad. Someday, he’s gonna catch them. And when he does, we’ll be able to gain more peace than what we already have,” Nanako concluded.

 

Just then, Ken realized something. ‘Souji-san, I understand now. It’s not just about remembering our losses. It’s also about cherishing what we have, and what we gained. I can still be sad that Mom isn’t with me anymore, because if it wasn’t for her I’d have never awoken to my Persona.’ A ruby red dragonfly flew past them got Nanako excited and gave chase. ‘But I can’t grieve forever. I have things to do, and people I want to protect.’ He looked up to the sky. ‘Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be a man that you can be proud of. Just you watch.’ His heart felt light, as if the emotional burden leftover from his past has been lifted off his shoulders, and smiled as he watched Nanako run around the shrine, trying to catch the flying insect. ‘And maybe...take some time to be happy in the process.’

 

Suddenly, he remembered what he was supposed to do and glanced at his watch. ‘Oh no! The party is supposed to start soon. I should bring her to the dorm ASAP!’

 

Meanwhile back at the dorm, everyone scrambled to finish wrapping their presents at the last minute. Koromaru hid under the dining table to prevent his tail from getting stepped on as the others piled their gifts on the coffee table.

 

Teddie was assigned as lookout, vigilantly watching the horizon for any signs of brown hair. When he finally sees them, he ran to the dining room, flailing his arms. “They’re here! They’re here!”

 

“Quick, everyone hide!” Minato ordered. Some dived under the tables, hid in the utility closet, under the stairs, and any nook and cranny they could fit themselves into.

 

Everything was silent until the door creaked open, revealing their youngest member and the birthday girl.

 

“SURPRISE!!!”

 

Party whistles blew and poppers exploded, showering the two with confetti and streamers. Nanako was shocked at first, but then squealed with laughter.

 

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANAKO-CHAN!!!” everyone chorused.

 

The little girl’s eyes shined as she took in her surroundings. Her cousin, his surrogate siblings and friends were all wearing party hats and huge smiles. The walls and ceiling were decorated with streamers, balloons and bright-colored paper cut into various shapes, and a banner hung from the lounge ceiling that read: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANAKO!” in glitter and gold. The table was laden with onigiri, dumplings, all sorts of sweets, a three-tiered decorated chocolate cake and her favourite – omelette fried rice! Each platter had everyone’s name written in ketchup.

 

“Wow, everything looks so good!” Nanako exclaimed, clapping her hands. She looked up at Souji. “Big Bro, you remembered!”

 

He knelt down to her level. “How could I forget?” he said, ruffling her hair. “I wanted to make it extra special, since we didn’t celebrate last year.”

 

Nanako made a beeline to the table. “Cake, cake!” she exclaimed, admiring the rainbow frosting.

 

“For a special occasion such as this, I’d say it’s fair to start with desserts, don’tcha think?” Yosuke said, pulling out small, pink candles from his pocket. He handed them to Souji, who stuck the candles on top of the cake and lit them. Minato lifted Nanako onto a chair, so she was high enough to reach the candles.

 

“Take your time and make a wish, Nanako-chan,” Minako told her after they finished singing her the birthday song.

 

Nanako closed her eyes, her face scrunching adorably. When she finally made up her mind, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles in one go.

 

The sounds of cheers, poppers and plastic whistles filled the air once more.

 

“Let’s eat!” Junpei exclaimed.

 

After the meal, it was time for fun. They played word games given weird twists by Junpei and Teddie, and Nanako’s favourite quiz game complete with electronic buzzers, courtesy of Naoto. They had a blast with the three-legged race combined with egg-in-a-spoon. Minato didn’t miss any embarrassing moments to be caught on photo.

 

When it was time to open presents, Nanako got even more excited. She humored Koromaru by letting him sniff the packages and envelopes she was about to open. Story books, board games, a flashing detective badge, Junes shopping vouchers, fashion accessories, a bottle of perfume, a few dresses and a fairy princess doll. She read through every card attached with the gift (a few of them were joint presents) and had trouble choosing a favourite. “I love them all!”

 

“The best is yet to come,” Minako said, hiding something behind her back. “Aniki, Souji-kun and I had a real tough time choosing your present, Nanako-chan. But we finally came up with a good one.” She handed her a pink envelope. “Go on, open it.”

 

Nanako carefully opened the envelope, and pulled out an invitation card. She opened it and read its content. “Supplementary piano lessons by Minako Arisato. Instrumental coaching by Minato Arisato and Souji Seta. Classes will be held during Nanako Dojima’s free time. Membership: For life.” At the bottom left were the Wild Cards’ signatures. Her eyes shined with excitement. “How did you know?”

 

“Souji-kun told us. It was his idea,” Minato said, pleased with her reaction. “Your dad also said your mom was a piano teacher, and you’re taking lessons so you can be just like her.”

 

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Nanako glomped all three of them. At that moment, the front door opened, revealing Dojima with a gift box in his hand. “Dad?!”

 

“Sorry I’m late. Damn rookies made me run around in circles finding files when it’s right under their damn noses...” the older man grumbled as Nanako hugged him tightly. “I hope I didn’t miss anything.”

 

“Not a lot,” Souji chuckled. “Just the embarrassing parts. We’re about to get to the good stuff.”

 

“Nanako-chan’s mini-concert is just starting. It’s only fair we play something for you before lessons can start, right?” Minako grinned. She took the little girl’s hand and headed for the piano. “Aniki and I will play a song just for you.”

 

“YAY!!!”

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The party was finally over. Dojima took a sleeping Nanako (full of happiness and satisfaction) home. Everyone helped with the cleaning before the Inaba team left for their own houses.

 

After the dorm residents went to their rooms, Minako crept downstairs in her pyjamas and turned on the lounge lights. After getting herself a glass of water, she waited patiently at the piano, fingers gently tapping on the keys without pressing them.

 

Her patience paid off as she heard the shuffling of footsteps descending the stairs.

 

“The heck did you want me to come down at this hour anyway?” the gruff voice of Shinjiro grumbled.

 

“Sorry, Shinji. I know there’s school tomorrow, but I have something I wanted to give you before I forget again.” She patted the seat beside her, silently asking him to join her at the piano.

 

He complied. “So, what is it?” Minako only gave him a sweet smile. His heart beat picked up the pace. ‘Damn...she’s looks so cute right now...’ he thought.

 

She leaned her head on his shoulder. “I just wanted some time alone with you,” she said, lacing their fingers together, “and to give you a present.”

 

“A present? What for?”

 

“Celebrating Nanako-chan’s birthday today reminded me that we didn’t celebrate yours yet.”

 

Shinjiro snorted. “It’s already passed.”

 

“I know,” Minako said, snuggling closer to him. “We didn’t celebrate it back then too, before...” A few stray tears escaped her eyelids, soaking his t-shirt sleeve.

 

“Hey...” He gently held her chin, tilting her face upwards. “What did I say about crying?”

 

“Sorry. You’re here now...” But the tears still fell. “It’s not easy to forget something like that.”

 

Shinjiro tightened his grip on her hand. “I know. I still have the proof.” He touched his chest with the other hand, feeling the bumps of scar tissue under his thin shirt. “Ken may have forgiven me...doesn’t mean I forgive myself yet...”

 

“Then I want to make a promise.”

 

“What kind of promise?”

 

“Every year, on this day, I’ll play a song just for you.”

 

He shyly scratched his beanie-less head. “I’d...love that.”

 

“Oh, and Shinji...” Minako lurched upwards, and gave him a kiss. “Happy belated birthday.”

 

Shinjiro blushed. He may have gotten used to her pouncing on him and showing public displays of affection, but random kissing was still something new.

 

She giggled at his embarrassment. “I’ve been practicing this one for a while now. I hope you like it.” She started to play, pressing the piano keys in rhythmic succession.

 

The tall brunette watched her slim fingers dance gracefully on the keys. As she played, the soft light reflecting in her eyes mesmerized him. Despite not being partial to music, it was a lovely song. His heart overflowed with love for her.

 

When she was done, he pulled her into a hug, tucking her head under his chin. “Thank you,” he whispered. He finally found the answer to his earlier dilemma. “I love you.”

 

Minako inhaled his natural scent, which she loved very much; a masculine woodsy smell, mixed with warm spices and smoke. “I love you too.”

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Yasogami High...

 

Early Monday morning, the headmaster announced through the P.A. system that all students were to gather in the gym for an assembly. The reason wasn’t mentioned. After a brief reminder of the final exam and culture festival dates by the secretary, the headmaster took the stage for one final announcement. “I’m afraid that due to unprecedented circumstances, the school trip will be postponed to the following week of the original date. Further details will be provided by your homeroom teachers by the end of the month. That is all. Assembly dismissed.”

 

“All rise!” Sofue commanded from the stage. “And bow. Thank you very much!”

 

“THANK YOU VERY MUCH!” the students chorused and bowed to the headmaster.

 

There was a mix of excited chatter and dissatisfied grunts from the students as they exited, heading to class. The transfer students however, had something else in mind.

 

The senior SPIES were hanging out in their class during self-study period, gathering around Souji and Chie’s desks. It was supposed to be English period, but Kondo-sensei had a fever that day and was not available to teach.

 

“So, you guys are going back to Port Island next week?” Yosuke asked, a pocky stick hanging out of his mouth. “What for?”

 

“It’s Mitsuru-senpai’s dad’s death anniversary,” Minato answered solemnly, looking out the window. “We kinda owe him big time, so we’re going to pay our respects and give her our support.”

 

Minako looked at the ground, the cheerfulness not in her eyes today. “I’m sure Ken-kun will want to visit his mother’s grave as well. It’s been ages since we visited ours.”

 

“And I want to visit Miki,” Shinjiro said. When the Inaba Persona-users looked at him with a questioning stare, he sighed. “She’s Aki’s little sister. During the night of the explosion, the orphanage we were living in got destroyed. She was the only casualty of the fire.”

 

That only worsened the depressing mood. The rain made the temperature colder, and the sun was sure not to come out on such a gloomy day.

 

“And I’ll be going with them,” Souji told his friends. “I want to collect some of my belongings at my parents’ apartment. Besides…” he trailed off with some hesitance, “I want to see for myself the place where we had our accident. That whole thing started this chain of events, and I want to find any clues there, something which was overlooked by the police.”

 

“We can help,” Chie offered. “I’m sure Mitsuru-san can write a perfectly good excuse letter for all of us to go. I mean, twenty heads are better than one…right?” She looked around nervously, hoping her little joke would lighten up the mood.

 

Souji shook his head. “As much as I’d like to take you guys with us, you need to stay here and keep an eye on the town and the TV World. If we all go, there won’t be anyone left to fight Shadows when the Dark Hour hits.”

 

Yukiko looked at her boyfriend uneasily, but she agreed to what he said. ‘He needs this,’ she thought to herself. ‘If he could stop blaming himself for the accident, then he should go.’

 

“We’ll be leaving tomorrow morning, so I’m putting Yosuke in charge of the team for a while,” Souji said. “Don’t hesitate to contact me if you guys notice something amiss. If Rise has any trouble with Shadow analysis, she can contact Fuuka-san. We’ll be returning the day after tomorrow.”

 

They continued to talk about trivialities after Chie changed the topic. When Nakamura-sensei, their math teacher, entered the class, the students went back to their seats and the lessons continued.

 

Rain continued to pour outside.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It was still raining and a bit misty when they boarded the train at Yasoinaba Station the next morning. It was so cold that anyone who needed to head outside had to bundle up.

 

The Inaba Persona-users, Dojima and Nanako waved them goodbye from the platform. They couldn’t help but feel worried that something bad will happen to Souji when he’s there, but comforted knowing that he was in good hands. Unknown to seven of them, they were being watched.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The trip to Port Island was uneventful, and they reached their destination at noon. Despite the reason of their return, all of them were happy to be home. They stopped by Iwatodai dorm to drop off their stuff and take a short break. They took some time to wonder around Iwatodai and Port Island, revisiting old memories.

 

For Souji and the twins, they stopped by the apartment that the silverette lived with his parents before their disappearance.

 

“Ever since we started moving around, we only owned a minimum amount of stuff,” Souji told them as they entered the apartment. Everything was neatly organized and proper, except for a thin layer of dust that settled.

 

Minako was surprised at the lack of personal touches, such as family photos and mementos. ‘Perhaps they never had time to properly settle in?’ she thought.

 

“Do you think your parents would mind if we went through some of this stuff?” Minato asked, pointing at the storage closet.

 

“Since they’re not here, I don’t think it’ll matter,” Souji said. “Besides, we’re looking for clues so we’re gonna have to do it anyway.”

 

After Souji put aside the stuff he wanted to take back to Inaba, the trio went through every nook and cranny inside the small apartment, looking for anything out of the ordinary. They were surprised to find boxes that looked like it hadn’t been opened for a very long time, containing items which held a lot of memories.

 

“I had no idea they still kept these...” Souji said as he flipped the old photo books open; their parents in their youth, baby pictures and holiday photos spent together being the most prominent.

 

“Look, they even kept their old music collection in here!” Minako said, taking out tape casings and vinyl discs. “Even Mom’s piano recordings and composition sheets...I thought I’d never see them again...”

 

Minato dug deep into the closet, and took out another box. What he found inside wrapped in a bunch of newspapers caused him to tear up. “I can’t believe it...” He opened the casing. “Dad’s violin...”

 

They decided they would take the boxes back to Inaba after the service tomorrow, and made their way to the Moonlight Bridge while there was still daylight. A short bus ride later, they finally made it. Luckily, there wasn’t a lot of foot traffic around with exception of a few cyclists, so they could look around without being bothered.

 

“It looks different in the day...” Minako commented. “It’s weird that we also had an accident here so many years ago...”

 

Souji led them to the area where he and his parents had their accident. “This is it...” he told them. “The police told me this is where I was found, and our car hit that barricade over there.” He pointed to a concrete border five feet away. “They concluded that my parents were thrown into the sea, but found no evidence.”

 

They poked around every crevice, even any sidewalk cracks they could find, but got nothing. They searched until it was dark, and finally gave up for the day. Feeling parched, they rested and ordered drinks at a nearby cafe.

 

“I’m beat...” Minako whined, pressing her cheek against her glass of iced lemon tea.

 

Souji stared at his reflection in his cup of coffee. “And we still got nothing. I called Officer Kurosawa earlier, and he said there wasn’t any progress.”

 

Minato said nothing, staring out at the sky, his juice untouched. “Hmmm...”

 

“What is it, Aniki?” Souji asked.

 

“Perhaps we’re looking at this from the wrong angle. It’s not what the police found...it’s what they don’t see that we should be focusing on.”

 

“Like what?” Minako wondered. They discussed a little more before calling it a night. They needed to get back or face Mitsuru-senpai’s punishment.

 

The Wild Cards looked at the bridge one last time. The night was still early, but the sky was darker and cloudier than usual. It wasn’t until some of the clouds dispersed, that had them gasping.

 

Hanging in the sky like an ominous orb, was the moon. But it was glowing a murderous red, tainting the clouds like red dye seeping through cotton.

 

A Blood Moon...

I just imagined Shinjiro with a party hat XD! Your story is really awesome, keep it up :3
