A/N: I've changed Kikuno Saikawa's arcana to Judgement since it would be fitting for her character development. I haven't change much of the story so for now, enjoy this chapter. I've also changed something in the Weapon and Equipment in Depth chapter.

"Man, it feels forever since I've been here... Again." Kaidou said as we walk around in Chinatown.

"I wonder why are we in Chinatown, since we went to Harbor Bay View park. I thought we would be able to get to the Lost Eden through there." I asked while looking around, peeling my eyes out for shadows.

"Ah that, well... Yokohama's Chinatown is actually..."

"The only entrance to the Lost Eden." Touka continued Suzuki's sentence.

"Entrance!? What!?" Kaidou was confused, so was I.

"Then-"

"The Chinatown is the entrance but once in, we are able to explore Yokohama even when we are not near Chinatown." As I was about to ask my question, Ms. Kikuno answered it.

"So... How does one get out?" Kaidou asked.

"Well using the pills. They're called Apathy Pills." Touka says as she scans the area for any shadows.

"Apathy... Pills...? What... A name..." Kaidou took out the pills and looked at them, questioning the name of those pills.

"It's named Apathy because of an incident that happened 9 years ago... The Dark Hour." Ms. Kikuno continued.

"Dark Hour?" I asked, not knowing what it was.

"This phenomenon happened in Iwatodai, a small city where Ms. Mitsuri studied in Gekkoukan High with Mr. Akihiko. Its the same as the phenomenon that happens here, when its twelve midnight, the entire city became another world." Ms. Kikuno said, as she looks at us. So that's the Dark Hour? Its awfully similar. Really similar. I wonder if there is any more phenomenons that happened other than that and this.

"Um... Was there any other phenomenon that happened before this and after they resolved the Dark Hour?" I asked, wanting to know.

"Hmm? Ah yes, there are. There's numerous of them but we shorten it down by two phenomenons only. One was called The Midnight Channel and the other was called Mementos. This two was dealt with other persona-users, that was not associated with S.E.E.S" Ms. Kikuno answered my question, with giving me more information.

"Not associated with S.E.E.S.? Who were they?" Kaidou asked. Ms. Kikuno looked back at us, stared at both us.

"Why do you want this information?" She said, coldly. I could feel my hair strands standing up now.

"Ah... Um... No-Nothing." Kaidou awkwardly laughed at himself, trying to get out of the situation. I believe Ms. Kikuno doesn't trust us yet. I wonder why...

"Well anyway, we should almost be there." Touka said as she scans the area once more. We headed towards the Tree of Souls, to investigate further. It had been awhile and the amount of members in S.S.E.C had became five, so it was a good time to explore it further. Still, a question keep coming out my mind.

"How... Did S.S.E.C lost all of it's other members?" I asked Suzuki, looking down. I felt bad for asking this question. I shouldn't have asked it.

"Raise your head." Suzuki said, as he gave me a sincere smile.

"I already knew you were going to ask that question... Sooner or later. Well no point in hiding it. It all started when the our company had began recruiting more members, during December.... Last year."

25 December, 2017,

Monday.

It was a cold and windy night, there were snow falling from the sky and me and Touka had checked on the new recruits. They were all the same age as us, most of them were older and some of them were younger, so we treated them with care. There was always this one girl who would come up to me and said,"Mister, could I have some of your candy?". I was good at cooking and bakery, that also at making sweets. Today was a bit different. We had received that the "Lost Eden" was having some kind of reaction, or something was going on. We prepared the entire company and headed towards Chinatown.

"Its been awhile since we've been here..." I told Touka, who was covered with layers of cloth.

"It was just three days... Get over it." Touka told me.

"Its Christmas! Why do we need to work!? We only had two days of holiday and now they gave us an emergency announcement!?" I thought, if I said it out loud, I would have been sliced into bits by Touka. She was the acting Leader that time and I was the Vice. It was a lot of work trying to get all the paper work done. Thank god Ms. Kikuno was here.

"Well, you aren't the only one restless here." One of the members walked up to me and said. He was Ken Tomioka, a good Persona-user and a veteran in the field. He's 15 years old, younger than us. He has a sister but... He's quite protective of her, so he doesn't tell us about her that much.

"Well, at least we have some kind of gathering, right?" Another one said. She was Gwen Lycan, another member of S.S.E.C and a rookie. She's quite the playful girl, mostly around Tomioka.

"Yeah, you're right... Well won't you look at the time, it's almost 12. Everyone, get ready!"

"Hurrah!!!" They shouted. We entered the 'Lost Eden' and headed towards the site, which we didn't know what was waiting for us there.

A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't uploaded in awhile but since its been a busy holiday, I had to do some other things to. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
