"My friends faced their own Shadows and came out stronger for it, but I never met mine. To make up for it, though, I've had my friends to help me mature. It's my companions that I draw strength from in all of this."
—Yu Narukami

As the train pulls out of the station, returning me to the life I once knew, I watch the shrinking shapes of my dearest friends and newfound family, remembering the past year that has forever changed my life.

When I moved to Inaba, it was just one of those "do what you're told" things. My parents were working abroad and they wanted me to stay with someone responsible. Someone respectable. Someone like Uncle Ryotaro Dojima, a renowned police detective who would see to it I kept my grades up and didn't stay out too late. His daughter Nanako was a sweet kid with a serious love for Junes.

Little did I know that this small town in the countryside would change my entire life.

The murders took the whole town by shock. This was no large city full of criminals. It was a tight-knit community where many people had never felt the need to lock their doors at night. After all, there was nothing much worth stealing. The only technology to speak of was television. Hardly a novel concept.

It was in watching television that I discovered the dark secrets of the Midnight Channel. If it weren't for the Investigation Team, I know I never could have found the serial killer behind these cases. Would justice have prevailed? Perhaps...but not in time to save those victims whose lives were on the line.

"I'm leaving behind the ones who call me a hero...the true heroes in my story." (Go to meet the Investigation Team)

"Wait....how about me?" (Introduce yourself)

"Can I listen "Never More" one more time....?" (Go to credits)

"The "Persona" ability is the power to control one's own heart...And the heart is strengthened through bonds
As you form bonds by becoming involved with others, your own Social Links will gradually develop.
The power of these Social Links is what determines your Persona's abilities" —Bizarre-looking man (Igor)

A Persona is a manifestation of user's personality, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship.

Sometimes when a person doesn't accept a part of his/her self, a shadow self appears, representing repressed negative thoughts by their real life counterparts. But this only appears just before someone is thrown into the Midnight Channel.

The good news about shadow selves; if the person accepts them after being rescued by the investigation team, this shadow disappears or takes a new form...a Persona.

You can use your Persona to fight against shadows but using them weighs on the user's mind and spirit, and will eventually draining the user's strength and stamina.
