Somewhere Not Here
Welcome to the Velvet Room.
It appears you've aptly demonstrated your "wild" power.
I expected no less.
My eyes did not deceive me, it seems.
I am sure that you will soon be able to wield yet another power that has been awakened.
The Chariot Arcana How will this power come to shape your future, I wonder? We will be watching closely.

Go! Right! Who's next?! Chie-chan's all fired up! Hey, Satonaka! I know you're upset, but don't push yourself too hard! Yukiko? Where are you, Yukiko?! She's not listening.
Satonaka! Don't push yourself! I'm fine! This is nothing! I'm the one you should worry about.
She just completely blanked me Yukiko! What happened? It got beary dark all of a sudden! You mean "very" dark.
Yukiko! No, that's! My! We have some surprise guests? How delightfully exciting! Which brings us to this part of the show! Totally Unscripted! Totally Unscripted! Totally Unscripted! Totally Unscripted! Search for a Prince Search for a Prince What the heck was that? Some words just appeared, right? Y-Yeah Who are you?! What's that supposed to mean? I'm Yukiko.
Yukiko's me.
You are not! You Where's the real Yukiko?! Now for the first challenge! I'll be waiting eagerly, my prince! Wait! Damn it! Get out of my way! Come on.
We just want you to hang out with us.
We can do karaoke, go shopping and stuff.
I can't.
I'm too busy Then when are you free? Hey! Quit hassling her, you creeps! It's fine! We're just inviting her out.
Forget it.
Let's go.
Amagi seemed up for it, too Satonaka's pretty scary Thank you, Chie.
It's fine.
I art thou humble servant, madam.
What the heck was that? I don't think you got that quiet right.
You're always doing that Hey, what do you mean "always"? Geez Thank you so much, Chie.
Huh? Isn't this a kind of weird time to be thanking me? No.
I'm saying that to you for all the times in the past.
Whenever I've been in trouble, you've come to help me.
Always, without fail.
Kind Chie.
Chie, who could do anything.
She was always in my corner.
She always protected me.
She always saved me.
Who's there? This is Seriously?! You're getting a part-time job?! Whenever we go out, we run out of money straight away, right? How about we work together? Definitely! If it's a pain, we can just cut work! Right! So you know Yeah? someone called me yesterday.
Who? Do you want to know? Yeah, tell me.
It was just my mum! There was no problem! You got me there! You poor thing This is From back then By the way, that girl back there No doubt about it.
It was her other self! That makes sense.
I thought she was acting weird on Midnight Television.
There's no way Amagi would be trying to pick up guys.
"Pick up guys"? Hey, what does that mean? Ask me later! Yukiko, where are you?! You're just like me, aren't you? You can only live in your cage.
Or at least I thought so, but Perhaps you forgot to lock it? Yuki-chan you were so fond of it.
You must be sad.
I see.
Guess it's no good, huh? I thought we'd definitely be able to eat together today.
I'm so sorry.
You've asked me out so many times.
It's fine! I know this is your inn's busiest season.
It can't be helped.
I'm sorry Quit apologising already! I feel like I'm being mean.
By the way, did something happen to you? You've seemed a little down recently.
It's nothing.
Hey Yukiko, you know Yes? I know you'll be taking over at the inn, so maybe you can't help it, but don't push yourself too hard.
If there's anything I can do, just ask.
I'll do my best to help.
Yukiko? Sorry.
Thanks, Chie.
"It can't be helped", huh? It was back then, wasn't it? That you realised that she couldn't free you from your cage.
That you completely gave up.
Who are you?! Show yourself! Do you want to see? Do you want to know? Who am I? I'm you.
Understanding Basic Diligence Callow Knowledge Aware Courage Reliable Expression Odd Diligence Callow Courage Reliable Expression Odd Knowledge Aware Understanding Basic Do you want to see? Do you want to know? Who am I? I'm you.
Yukiko! Chie! My my my! Three princes all at once.
Two Amagis This is a dilemma.
What's with this tension? I want you to take me away somewhere.
Somewhere far away, where nobody can follow us.
I'm sure one of you fine princes can do that.
Come on, hurry up! "Three princes"? Does that include me?! The third prince is me! Like hell it is.
Chie That's right, you're my prince.
You always led me by the hand.
You're my strong, charming prince! Or you were.
"Were"? But I don't need you anymore.
Dear customer The new bond you formed has awakened the Chariot Arcana within you.
It governs Personae of the "Strength" type.
Ara Mitama! Narukami-kun! Chie was no good to me in the end.
She couldn't free me from my cage.
She couldn't save me! Stop it! Stop it already! Call it back for now! I can't at this distance! Izanagi! Narukami -kun! Hanamura! This is Working as an owner of an old inn? I'm sick of those damn shackles! Damn it! Chie! From the moment I was born, my entire life was set in stone.
I hate it! I hate it! Let's help her! No! It's hot! What's with this?! Damn it, at this rate You're wrong I want to go somewhere far away.
To somewhere that isn't here.
I want someone to free me.
I can't escape on my own! Stop it.
Stop it now I have no hope.
No courage to escape on my own.
So I waited patiently.
For the day when my prince would come to free me.
For him to take me away somewhere.
Please, no more Ancient customs? The pride of the town? What a load of shit! What are you saying?! That's how we really feel.
Right, me? No You're not Yukiko! Don't say it! You're not me! I can feel the power welling up inside me! I feel like I might just I am your shadow.
I am your true self.
Yukiko! Chie! Yukiko! Out of my way! Wait, Yukiko.
I'll fix everything.
Oh really? Then I suppose there's no reason for me to hold back.
Hot! It's hot! Be more careful! Here we go, Hanamura! Go for it, Jiraiya! It's too tough.
What a pain.
Yukiko! I'm coming! Chie! I thought Chie would be able to save me.
But It can't be helped.
She was useless! She wasn't my prince at all! Even though Look out, Satonaka! Even though Come! Even though I waited for so long! Yukiko Satonaka might not be a prince.
But who cares?! What?! Satonaka came this far because she wanted to save Amagi.
Isn't it incredible just to have someone who truly cares about you? Narukami-kun I I We can't even get close like this! Yukiko Chie, run away! I'm not going to run away, Yukiko.
I have something I need to tell you.
I was always jealous of you.
Yamaguchi Shuuhei Satou Yuuji Matsuda Kousuke Murakami Naoya Amagi Yukiko You were really popular with guys and nobody paid any attention to me.
So I was happy that you needed my help.
Thank you so much, Chie.
I wanted to think that you needed me to protect you.
That's right! I can't do anything on my own! Nothing at all! You're wrong! Yukiko you really are a strong person.
You want to be free? Then smash that stupid cage with your own hands, and fly wherever you want! If it's you you should be able to! You're wrong.
I'm not strong Even back then You must be sad.
She was wrong.
I wasn't sad.
I was angry.
That this little bird which was so much like me, had broken free of its cage.
It's true that I forgot to lock it.
But it found the courage to open the door on its own.
I didn't want to acknowledge that.
I I'm not strong! I'm awful I have no courage of my own.
So I was trying to find someone to set me free! And what if you are awful? Chie! It's not like I'm the person you thought I was, either.
I have lots of bad parts too.
But even still, I want to stay with you! Because you're important to me.
Because we're friends! Chie Stop! Stop! What was I so afraid of? There was nothing to fear because I have Chie! Yukiko! Thank you! You're lying! The shadow's weakened! Let's go, partner! Right! Do it, Jack o'Lantern! W-What are you doing? Stubborn little H-Hey! Don't! Begone! Satonaka! Finish it! Get out of here! Chie I'm sorry, Yukiko.
I was so lost within myself that I didn't notice you suffering We're supposed to be friends I didn't think about you, either.
I just kept running away.
Which is why you were born.
I'm sorry for not acknowledging you.
I want to run away.
I want someone to save me.
You're right.
I do feel that way.
You're me, aren't you? Yes.
So this is Amagi's Persona? Hey, Yukiko! Amagi! Are you okay? Yes Just a little tired.
You came to save me, didn't you? Of course! Thank you.
So who was it that brought you in here? Who are you? Or rather what? Kuma is Kuma! I'm sorry, I don't understand.
You confuse people just by existing! Just stay quiet! Don't discriminate against me just because I'm a bear! I'm worried about the culprit too, but let's get out of here already.
Yukiko seems tired, after all.
Right.
Let's go.
Wait! Are you going to leave me behind?! "Leave you behind"? What do you mean? You live here, right? That's true, but I'm sorry, Kuma-san.
I'll come and thank you properly later.
So please wait patiently until then.
W-Wow! Yuki-chan is so kind! I should give her a special present! W-Wha Yukiko?! I see.
So these are what you're all wearing.
How wonderful.
There's a nose guard and everything.
Cut it out.
Plus that isn't going to guard anything.
Don't underestimate the shadows.
What do you think? W-Well I had time, so I made them.
Chie, you should try them too.
I'm pretty good with my hands.
You don't look like it.
It's true! Why do I have to do this? W-Whoa, that's creepy! Here we go again.
Yukiko's endless laugh.
I thought she only did it in front of me.
You don't need to laugh that much, Yukiko.
That was so funny! No time to waste, but make your pace It's okay to remove copy and paste I'm doing my way.
You do it your way Don't just follow your left, find the right way Stereotypes Too many hypes I'm the epitome of new types Having the fear is power to my soul Cuz I overcome them That's how I roll Expose your thoughts Don't be afraid of making mistakes Rules prevailing in That may be your greatest rival Believe in faith and your heart Your true soul Stop being in the shades Come on out in the open sun Beauty of the child of destiny Delightful days are rich with density of love Thorny path, there's no easy way for real bliss So I keep on fighting for beauty of destiny Is this the soccer club? You've got him, right? I have to know.
Girls in love sure are trouble.
I don't know what the heck is going on Would you love me?
It appears you've aptly demonstrated your "wild" power.

I am sure that you will soon be able to wield yet another power that has been awakened.
