Same Velvet room like before, but this time, there's Green book and Red book in the table which belongs to Soseki and Izumi

Soseki sits in the chair in front of the green book, while Izumi sits in front of the red one

After they sit, Igor opening the conversation

"looks like one of you already awaken a persona" says Igor, and Soseki replies with "Persona? do you mean pan and mandrake?" Igor nods to the Soseki statement

"alright nose, i have some question, first what's that book that suck us?" Soseki asks Igor

"wait, i want to ask too, what is persona?" Izumi adds another question

"what book?" Christina answer Soseki

"Persona is a manifestation of a User's personality and dream" while Hans answering Izumi question

"....the book, it has same covers as this, it suddenly sucks me, another person and a dog, inside the book there's some monster, that's where i can call pan, from what you say you call it persona" Soseki adds more explanation

"so..that means Soseki-kun has two personalities? i only hear the story, but he has 2 persona" and Izumi asks more question

"there's no such thing as that book, the book you have in front of you are the personification of your dream, with this, you can record your dream, make it a reality and use it as a weapon to fight against shadow" Christina gives an answer in monotone voice

"kukuku.. that's what makes you two so special, when other people only have 1 Persona, you two can have many personas!! think of it like a parade~" Hans answering Izumi while dancing on top of his chair

"you're lying, i get pan while I'm inside that book, and i can't use it on the normal world, if you're saying that those books are personification of a dream, it means i enter someone dream?" Soseki answer Christina with another question

"if we can have as many personas as we can, does that mean it will changes our personality?" Izumi asking a question again

"yes that's true" Christina answering Soseki question vaguely

"don't worry dear~, a fool arcana already has many personalities after all" Hans spinning around while saying this

"so that's mean you know something about the book that sucks me right? , geez you just make this thing going in a circle" Soseki not satisfied with Christina answer, asking for a clarification

"then, that means the more personalities we have, the more persona we can get?" Izumi asking another question

"now, now you two, the night is still long, you two can relax and start asking question one by one" Igor, mediating both of them and he continues to talk "now, for Soseki, indeed the power you have let you enter someone dreams, but the method isn't supposed to be like that... this is interesting"

After this Igor replies Izumi question "Ku, Ku, Ku that's not wrong, but you don't need to have many personalities, they already exist within you, what you need right now is making a bond with another person and another persona"

Izumi, taking a sip of her tea and start to speak again "then, what is a shadow that Christina-san told before?", Soseki looks at her and notices something

"hey..Kyouka, are you sleep with clothes like that?" Soseki asks something to Kyouka, her figures right now is wearing the school uniform, like the time he meets her today

"....you're right I'm sure that i change my clothes, ah! this place is a rift between dreams and reality right? i guess we just wear clothes that make us comfortable, i mean, Soseki-kun itself wears school uniform" Izumi says this, and Soseki take a look at his clothes and say "You're right"

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"now, now if you two are done, ah right the shadow, shadow is Suppressed human thoughts given physical form, think of it like a dream that you can't control" Igor explains

"a dream that can't be controlled? ....aren't every dream can't be controlled?" Soseki ask Igor, but the one that answers this time

".....Soseki-kun, i think what he means by that is a nightmare, and by physical form means..." Izumi says this while smiling to Soseki and shifting her gaze back to Igor

"ding dong! 100 for you~, you're right, having a nightmare for a long time, and they will manifest and gain a form" but the one that answering this time is Hans

"oh, the one that sits on that boy's neck? and I'm the only one that can see shadow?" Soseki ask back

"you can see a shadow on reality? non-sense" Christina is the one that answers him, somehow she's more talk active tonight, and Hans seems more talk active than before too

"...whatever if this place is really a part of my subconscious, you should know that what i say is true" Soseki gives up talks to her, since Christina just denied everything he says

Izumi that watches them, feels that both of Soseki and Christina have the same personality, two stubborn peas in the same skin, she gives a wry smile and continues to ask "... Igor-san, you said before that the method isn't supposed to suck up by the book, what kind of another method do you mean?"

"ku..ku.. this is supposed to be something that you learn by fate, by it looks like fate has brought it to me, the only method to enter someone dream is when they are having a dream" Igor replies Izumi question

"......i see, "spirited away" " Izumi, hold her chin with her hand and starts to lost in thought, on the other hand, Soseki talk " nose! ... this is only hypothetical, but on this island, people sometimes missing only to be found in the sleeping state, is this related to the book that sucks us? and shadow that gets shown on the real world?

Igor stays silent and not answering Soseki word. Soseki gives up pursuing this matter any further, and change his question

"Nose, if both of persona and shadow are created from the dream, is that means both of them are the same creature?, but what happens if a shadow exists on someone dream from a long time?" Says Soseki

Christina answering his question "If that's the case, they will lose their mind, and remember that shadow is an uncontrollable dream, and too manifest something, some kind of energy required, unlike persona a dream that you can control, shadow is uncontrollable and thus eat the host energy without it realizing it"

Soseki, holding his right forehead, think for a moment and says "dream, shadow, nightmare, physical form, losing mind.... hallucination? no...paranoia? ... wait what do you mean by energy?"

Izumi on the other hand, realize something and talk "Soseki-kun! the student in front of me, i just remember that he is a victim of spirited away incident! i see... when he is in a sleeping state he must be having a shadow clings to him"

"Correct, now fu..fu..fu this is interesting matter indeed, a shadow that gets manifest into reality, enters someone dream through a book" Igor put both of his hand, covering his mouth while says this

"...hey, nose, if that's not the method to enter someone dream, what is the method then?" Soseki asks Igor

"dream is telling you about the things you have been longed for, therefore, finds their dream and you can enter someone dream" Igor explains to Soseki

"how?" Izumi asks

"of course by your book, by writing someone name and the thing they longed for, you can travel to someone dream~" Hans explain

Soseki glared at him, he thinks the people in Velvet room is inconsistent (before Christina says she denied something about the book that able to suck someone and she clearly says that the book function is to record dream and summoning persona, and now Hans telling that our book can deliver us to someone dream)

"....sorry, but something is not right, Christina-san said there's no book that can suck people into someone dream, but now Hans-san says that the book can be used to enter someone dream" Izumi says this, telling what Soseki think inside his mind

"yes, there's no book that can suck a person into someone dream, your book only helps you two to travel into someone dream" Christina close her eyes, and starts to stand up

"ho~ i think i get it, to travel into someone dream, we need to dreaming by ourselves right?" Soseki looks to the roof while saying this, and puts his legs on the table, Igor nods toward Soseki statement, Izumi on the other hand, says something to him "Soseki-kun that's rude..." she continues with another question "...what will happen if by chances we die on someone else dream?" but after she asks this, the sound of bell can be heard

*cring*

"of course you'll be sleeping forever" Hans replies to her

*cring* *cring*

"................fuck, so being suck in a book, and see a shadow in reality, is still a mystery in the end" Soseki speaks by himself, he gets up and walk to the main house, inside it once again his mother and grandfather already go to the field, but this time Shina already wake up, and sitting in dining room, eats her breakfast, Grandma prepare egg roll and rice this time, they talks a little and Soseki walk to the school

".......hn..." Izumi wakes up and rubs her eyes, different from last night she doesn't feel tired or have a lot of sweat, she straightens her body while says "....so they don't know anything about spirited away incident... and what is Christina-san means by energy?" after she says this, a figure of maid can be seen and talks to her "Good morning, Izumi-sama"
