Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

You mean like the people who can still do some of the shit from back home? I don't think I can learn magic and stuff, though, so I'll stick with the Persona I guess.

Wont bother the Seven with anything like this though, since I don't trust them and I doubt they have the time to be bothered by me.

Probably a busy bunch doing seemingly nothing of importance, right?

Ohhh, so that's his name!  Okay, thanks!  If you see Phil again before I do, thank him for me, will ya?

This is The Universe, signing off!

Yes.

[There's a pause, before...]

Someone showed me that sometimes it only takes a few people to clear the fog of lies and see the truth. Perhaps those that would bring "evil" are part of that fog.

Gods and demons, good and evil - those are all ideas created by mankind, which then take the form of Personas when drawn from the soul. As they are ideas, they lurk within the subconscious mind and take the form one's subconscious believes would be the form of that god or demon.

In the end, a man cannot become a god no more than a god can truly exist outside a man's mind.

Persona are a reflection of your inner self, the demons and gods that you harbor.

In a way, you might say we all are Gods and Goddesses.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. It depends on a lot of factors and you will find this city changes many of the rules assumed.

It depends what your meaning of importance is.

I would save the child. And as such, I must fight those that wallow in ignorance, to bring them illumination. Not out of cruelty or spite, but because I want to help.

Then, Mister Narukami, I would suggest you continue down on this path that you already walk on.

[Wait how did they know it was you?]

And what would you call yourself in this equation as a former resident of the Velvet Room, Miss Elizabeth?

[...what in the hell? Yeah, not bothering with anon anymore, but he does make it private.]

...who is this?

[Oh, someone knows her personal details! Well -- it wasn't as if she was keeping her ~~ex-~~occupation under wraps.]

One who once stood idly by to watch the growth of humanity, but has taken her will into her own hands.

[There's a long, long pause before she finally replies.]

I don't know.

[Another long pause, a little bit shorter than the previous]

I know what I want to be.

I did. He and I have... history.

Someone who helps run the system, and has access to the files.

You mean that weird guy with the mask? Yeah. I figured he had something to do with the Reapers.

[Because he doesn't know what else he can chalk it up to, honestly.]

So you grew out of your servitude to become your own person.

Or perhaps that was Philemon's plan all along.

Just never forget that one man's truth might be its own ignorance. Regardless, I wish you luck.

As a few others, it seems.

What you want to be?

Note quite. This is an entirely different situation.

If it is any comfort, those that I have witnessed were at times questionable. If they were able to form bonds, then there is enough luck for everyone.

It's refreshing, to be honest.

Well no one's told me what the hell's going on yet.

Look, He exists, but I never said he was there; who knows where He ran off to. Point is, He exists whether anyone believes in him or not. ....so if I wanted the point to be an elaborate scheme to come up with a new Devil's Food Cake recipe, that's what it would be?

You're saying that morality is relative. It depends on the society and the culture you grew up in. What they recognize as good is what you know to be good because it's the only example you've got. Some people believe there's an absolute good because it's modeled after an absolute good - a god. Well. I've met the one who's supposed to be Absolutely Good - or... gotten close enough that I know what he's all about, anyway. And I can say, that's a total crock.

So, sure, you're right, to a degree. But who cares? It's just words, and words only mean as much as we let them mean.

I'm not gonna fight for things like 'good' or 'justice' or whatever. I'll fight for us - for people. For people, individually, and for people as a whole. I believe in us - in humanity. I believe we have a future, and I believe that no matter what it is that's trying to destroy us, gods or the God or demons or other humans... we'll make it out alright.
