"...So, where did you guys say you were from?" You ask, walking down the street.
"We're from Inaba." The tallest, Kanji, answers. "So how the hell'd we get here?"
"If anyone knows, it'd be Naoto or Narukami." The one with the knives, Yosuke, states.
"And if Naoto's missing," the bear suited guy, Teddie, begins, "Then that only leaves Sensei!"
The boy known as Yu Narukami looks at everyone, analyzing the party.
"Well, Partner? What's the deal?" Yosuke asks.
"Do you want the long answer, or the short answer?" Yu asks.
"Short, please." Kanji says, turning around to look at Yu.
Yu smiles. "I...!"
"You...?!" Everyone but you asks.
"...Have no clue." Yu finishes.
"What?!" Yosuke shouts. "All that buildup for nothing?!"
"I didn't build up anything. I just didn't finish my sentence."
"What's that?" You point to an alley, with a large pot of...?
The Inaba guys all freeze. "Is that...?!" Yosuke sputters out.
"It is...!" Yu answers, slowly backing away.
"Well, at least we know the girls were here." Even Kanji sounds worried.
"Woah, what's with the visceral reaction?" You ask, moving closer.
"Just stay far away from it...!" Yosuke warns, shivering.
"It's just a pot?"
"It's not about the pot! It's about the contents!" You give Yosuke a strange look.
"Can't be that bad." You shrug, walking closer to the pot.
"No, don't...!" Yosuke calls, but Yu puts his hand on Yosuke's shoulder.
"She's made up her mind. We can't do anything else but pray."
"I'll get ready to cast Samerecarm, Sensei!" Teddie says, determination ebbing into his voice.
"Wait, don't we have to be in the TV World to-" Kanji tries, but to no avail.
You have made it to the pot. You take hold of the serving spoon, and scoop up some of this...
It's purple. That's it's defining characteristic. You'll give it a shot! How bad can it be? You take a-
Death is inevitable. It seems to have come for you.
Heroes rise and fall, and only their legends remain.
Through your actions, you will be-
[ENDURING SOUL!]
You're on your hands and knees, panting. What just happened...?
"She's alive! Help her up!" Kanji rushes to your side, grabbing your arm.
You feel... Cold. Is this what Witching out feels like?
"Yumi, can you hear me?!" Yu asks.
You hear footsteps. "What the hell did you do to Yumi?!" You hear Kyoko shout.
"We didn't do anything! It was Mystery Food X!" Yosuke explains.
"What the hell's you talking about?! That shit over there?" Kyoko begins to walk towards the Unholy Concoction!
"We need to destroy it! Sensei, try your strongest Persona against it!" Teddie suggests.
"You're not wasting food!" Kyoko draws her spear, "I'm gonna finish it if you can't!"
"NOOOOO!" Everyone but you howls.
