Unwavering Commitment (Persona 3 Fanfic)

No, I'll Face Reality Head On!! (Part 2)

"Ouch..." I cry out softly."

I've always wondered where Minako got her strength. Does she lift or something? She's unbelievably slim AND fit...

Well, not like all of us aren't fit... We go to Tartarus every night after all.

Ugh, there some dirt on my body.

I hate dirt.

I rub off the dirt and stains off in the bath.

I change into regular clothes and head to the living room.

Minako was cooking bacon... When did she buy it though?

She was also humming something...

It sounds like the theme of the movie I watched before. Coraline.

She looks like Other Mother. I chuckle to myself.

Minako suddenly turned and looked at me. "Oh, Ken!! You smell really good!! Soapy!!" She laughs. "I can smell you all the way from here!! Sit down!! I'm also gonna make some fried rice, fried chicken and omelette rice!! Go call the others. Let's all eat here." Minako smiles.

She looks relatively beautiful today... She looks like she's shining.

"Okay." I smile back and she blushes.

"M-Minako?!" She suddenly fainted but got right back up and continued cooking.

"I should've been more specific." She sighed.

"Don't let her lay a hand on you nor let her make a move. She's a huge happy-go-lucky idiot after all."

"Minato-san..." I mumble the name of the person possessing Minako's body.

"Ken..." he turned off the stove and walked towards me.

He looks like he's suffering. His voice is strained and he looks tired in Minako's body.

"I can't hold on for much longer. I don't think it'll be five months anymore. Maybe even earlier than that. I can't keep this up." He grabs my sleeve for support.

"I... was able to find a choice." He muttered.

"My world won't end but Minako, along with her world, will."

"What...? What'll happen to the other residents? What about me? What if the others will get their memories back?"

"It'll be meaningless. They'll all disappear. Even you. Only the residents who live in my world will live. Minako's world will disintegrate as if it didn't exist in the first place." He sighs. "You only have until tomorrow, midnight."

"I'm giving you a choice. Choose wisely. Repeat history with no other chance of surviving or making a sacrifice. If you choose to repeat history then you'll live your remaining time waiting for your demise to come without any other hope left. Not like the other is any different for you."

"No, wait!!" I try to make him come back but he disappeared.

I catch the fainted Minako in my arms.

"Damn it!! Why do you think I tried to turn back time?!" I curse.

"Just tell her already!! If I tell her then I'll disappear..." my throat feels strained.

*MINAKO*

"You should hurry and tell your feelings as soon as possible. Do the things that you want to do." Pharos smiled.

"Huh? What's with that all of a sudden?" I ask. Pharos is being weirder than normal.

"Nothing, really. You'll never know how the days pass by too quickly."
