Rehabilitation begins

"About time you've come to," said Caroline. "On your feet, inmate!"

Caroline smacked her baton against the bars of the cell.

"Oh no." I said, turning my head to see I was back in the Velvet Room.

"Our master wishes to speak with you," Justine spoke in her typical monotone. "It's for your own sake that you take his words to heart."

"First off, let us celebrate our reunion," Igor said politely, his voice a low rumble.

"Likewise." I responded, unsurely.

"Oh? You've awakened to your powers and special ones at that. Your rehabilitation can finally begin."

"My powers?" I asked.

"There is no need to understand it all for the time being. You will be training the power of Persona, which you have awakened to."

"Persona? Is that the name of power?" I asked, wanting to know more.

"Indeed," Igor nodded as he explained. "A Persona are, in other words, a mask, an armour of the heart when confronting world matters. I have high expectations for you."

"That's not my concern." is what I wanted to say but I did not have the guts to say that.

"You have **** but to tone your strength," said Justine. "It's not because we're forcing you but because this is your fate. Neglect it and you will."

"By the by, have you come to appreciate the Metaverse navigator?" asked Igor. "Using it will allow you to come and go between reality and Palaces."

"Metaverse Navigator?" I asked.

"I bestowed to you as a means to train you as a thief."

"The Metaverse Navigator is a gift from our master!" said Caroline. "You better take car win using it, inmate!"

"Devote yourself to your training so that you may become a fine thief." said Justine.

"It must be disheartening to make sure of the Metaverse Navigator alone," said Igor. "Should there be others who would proof beneficial to you, I will grant it to them as well. This is all for you to grow as a most excellent thief."

"You're telling to get others involved as well? Wouldn't that be dangerous?" I couldn't help but ask, not wanting anyone I knew to get hurt.

"That is the risk one takes if they are willing to join your cause," Igor stated before the alarm started going off.

"Hmph, it's time," said Caroline. "Go back and enjoy whatever rest you might have."
