Second Curse

How do you get your persona to shutup

[Action; Cancer District]

[His wonderful plan of letting himself get mauled during the Thirteenth Hour didn't exactly work, so now he's just hanging around the city. He really should get a job; the extra money from the government that had been waiting for his return would pay for food for a little while, but not long. Still, it's hard to be motivated to apply when you can't even really bring yourself to want to socialize at all.

Aah, and his favorite arcade got ransacked recently too. He doesn't even have a good distraction to keep his thoughts at bay and, more importantly...

...The words of his own Persona.

Yaiba Mizushiro remains unsummoned, but his voice rings loud and clear in the back of Hizumi's mind. And if this continues...

He really might lose himself to the curse, age of twenty be damned.]

Yeah, I get that. Even if it's you, you'd just end up going in circles with yourself...I kinda needed outside advice. Or someone else to listen to me, anyway.

...be careful about denying it.

Personas aren't the only part of your mind.

Stop me if im wrong but a persona also has to do with your perception of the persona itself right?

They arent real spirits they just symbolize another representation of your self

Well no, but they are really part of you.

I've just seen bad things happen when people ignore a part of themselves instead of trying to change it.

What kinds of bad things

Madness, death, horrible magic fog...

...that probably won't happen again, but ignoring part of you will still make you miserable.

Well if it's anything you want to talk about, I can stop lecturing you and listen.

And...if you don't want to do that now, you can message me later.

Facing danger with other people is pretty much my life for the last year.

...not without computer hacking skills or you admitting your name, anyway.

Still, there's someone who wants to listen to you and help you. I can't make you, but I am here.
