Well, someone's salty today

This day was going really weird for Shin. One moment he's rushing after a girl to return her phone, and in the other, he's being threatened by some guy who can apparently summon something that looks like a Persona, sounds like a Persona, but doesn't have the characteristic blue glow Persona have.

'Now's not the time to think about unnecessary things like that!' he thought to himself.

Shin was feeling confident in his own strength. IF this guy was an ordinary human, he could take him down, no questions asked. But the purple-haired teenager standing on the other side of the room clearly wasn't normal. The last thing he needed was dying to some shmuck because he underestimated him. God knows what his weird Persona can do.

'Maybe he can buff other Shadows, or maybe his special thing is rewriting memories and cognition.' thought Shin, sorely remembering the antagonists in the game. 'God, nothing is more frustrating than beating the crap out of Akechi, all by yourself, might I add, only for your friends to say you barely managed to beat him because you 'worked together'. Like, come on. I can turn around and slap Yaldaboi with my dick, and you tell me the only reason I won is because 'friendship power'? Fuck that!'

Shin immediately summoned Arsene, though because of the enclosed space made it so that the Persona's mobility was limited. Nevertheless, it proved to be a great distraction, as the black-haired teen rushed at the other teen's Persona, his trusty dagger in one hand, and his gun in the other. He expected the dagger to slice through the Persona, unless it was immune to physical damage.

When his hand felt no resistance, he grinned, as he created a large gash on the side of the armored knight's abdomen. Shin paused for a second, looking confused at the blood splattered on the ground and on his dagger. That moment of distraction was enough for the bleeding knight to retaliate, and Shin was struck with the sword right on his chest. The strike didn't do much to cut him so much as it shoved him back, impacting Arsene's wings.

As the purple-haired teen quickly assessed the situation, he noticed his red-haired girl friend still standing at the entrance of the room.

"Why are you still here?!" he shouted. "Run!"

He turned his attention back at the fight, where he could see Shin picking himself up off the large winged creature's wings. If he were to be honest, something in that malicious outstretched face scared him. And as he looked deeper into the 'eyes' of the creature, he could see... something. Something great. And awful.

The teenager felt goosebumps all over his body. It was... most definitely holding back. It wasn't just because of the small space of the room, but rather, the creature seemed to have restricted itself to a mere fragment of its true power. He wondered just who was the black-haired teenager who held command over something like that was.

Suddenly, the teen fell on one knee, while at the same time, the knight's wound started to close up. The blood remained on the ground, however, and the purple teen briefly wondered how much time will it take to remove the smell of blood from the room.

By that time, Shin was on his feet, right hand raised up, with his finger firmly placed on the trigger. He aimed at the other teen in the room, but he hesitated between shooting him in the head and just incapacitating him. However, as he saw the teen fall down, he immediately associated that with the knight's wound. His mind was already formulating a new plan, and he didn't even have to put it in words, as Arsene read his intentions clearly and rushed ahead, wings furled behind him. The Persona speared its clawed hand through the knight's neck without any impediment.

Shin thought that was odd. The first time he sliced the knight could've passed as a fluke, but 2 in a row? It's like that armor is made of paper.

"*Gasp*" was the sound made by the teen, as he fell on the ground on all fours, wheezing and panting. A thin sheet of sweat had already covered him.

Not that he was that much of a threat at this point, but Shin drove his foot into the other male's stomach, for good measure. Despite the fact that its owner was currently fading in and out of consciousness, and therefore should've been unable to talk, much less keep the knight summoned, said being continued to fight.

'Keep it busy, Arsene.' thought Shin, and as the Persona gave him a mental nod, he turned his attention back to the poor guy on the ground.

"Now," started Shin, picking up the other male by his head. "you will answer my questions truthfully, or I might have to get rough with you."
