Fourth Strike | Accidental Video/Action | During the Dark Hour

[ One. Two. Three. Four.

The shadows kept coming at him, but the Assassin didn't care. One by one all his enemies started to fall and be completely destroyed by his fists. The aura around feel... It clearly feels different. For those who are acquaintance of Li Shuwen, or even just happened to see him walking around the city of Prospero, know that this pressure is not something that he does normally.

Yet, he's there, slaying the monsters with his fists in a blood rain. He didn't even bothered in the rest, much less he noticed that his device was recording this. The shadows around him start to gather around him once more, specially after the performance he was making in the Dark Hour. His stance didn't hesitate at all, not even showing a sign of tiredness.

However, there is something strange in him. ]

I don't need another weakness. Then why...

[ Another strike, another enemy down. His voice sounds harsh in his words, yet he's focusing his anger in his opponents. ]

That fox... That woman! She is still present in my thoughts! This life was never meant for such thing to happen!

[ He raised his voice, causing more enemies to come to where he was. He frowned, frustrated with himself for this strange thing to happen to him. In a fraction of a second, he was completely surrendered by them.

But, he smirked. ]

You wish for a fight and I shall provide you one. Come---ARRRRRRRGHHHGHHHHHH

[ A growl, and then a familiar sound of a Persona being summoned. A man in an armor, a familiar helmet, a flaming horse and a halberd in his hand. ]

'Thou art I and I art thou,
I am Lu Bu, my name brings terror in the enemy lines,
no other man is stronger than me,
you will do well in remembering it.'

[ Soon the weren't any enemies left. Just a man sitting in the floor, observing the moon in the dark corridors of the night. ]

I'm Li Shuwen, I don't need this... She doesn't deserve this either...

[ And then, a sad laugh is all left in this feed as it ends. ]

...should I come see you?

... How much did this device record, Issei?

From "I don't need another weakness" to "She doesn't deserve this either".

[ oh joy. ]

If you wish to come and talk I'll not stop you.

I'm coming in a few minutes.

Very well. I'll wait for you.

[Issei's sword is sheathed when he comes up to Assassin.]

Having a rough night, I see.

[ Li Shuwen sighs a bit. ]

To think I would end calling up my Persona in such situation.

There's no bad time to first call one, really.

It's rather frustrating. I have talked many times with him and I agreed to summon him when there was an enemy I could not defeat. Yet, I was consumed by the blood lust and anger in the moment to notice what I was doing.

I see. It must be disappointing...

What it's done, it's done. I will have to gain his respect again, but I won't go back in what happened.

[ Though he's still bothered by something else, of course. ]

I see. That's a good attitude, I think.

That's how I always believed in when I was alive, this time is not different at all.

This situation shouldn't change anything.

That much is true.

[ YET HERE HE IS, TROUBLED AND EVENT'D ]

Do you want to talk at all?

Now that I calmed myself, it would be wise.

What about?

Young Monk, what do you think about the dark paths?

Anyone who can take them and remain fundamentally noble has my admiration, for it seems far more likely to take them and fall prey to temptation of losing true character.

Hahaha, you are indeed speaking the truth. The dark paths surely are known for being seductive.

That's all I can say, having not truly taken one.

Unless you do possess a great blood lust, I do not recommend you do walk in them.

I don't, and I have no intention to.

[Oh, so that is a Persona?

Yep, not the right time to talk about them, yet.]

'She'?

[ Sup Bro, this place likes to mess with my head. ]

She's one of the Servants of my Holy War, Kojiro.

[He feels for you, bro.

Except the part where you are madly in love.]

Ah, having an affair with a flower of a Holy War. Absolute. [Read: SCORE, BRO.]

[ he didn't sign up for this. ]

You are mistaken it. Though she was part of the Grail War I took place, she is from a different path that I did not cross with. All I know of her is because this place.

[ Read: BRO WHY ]

[Be happy dude, at least YOU.

AREN'T.

FOREVER ALONE sob.]

Oh, is that so? However, my points about having an affair still stands, isn't it? [Hi I'm insensitive.]

[ CLEARLY.

WE NEED.

TO GET HIM A GIRLFRIEND. ]

You assume too much, my friend. I did not have an affair with her. [ Hi, I don't mind. ]

[Oh how keywords can't be more fitting...]

A platonic relationship, then? The flavors aren't so much different, correct.

Did something happen to her?

[ he just needs to find the correct one... ]

We have spoken a few times, but there is something strange in me. I can't explain yet, perhaps being consumed by my own frustration got the best of me right now.

Not yet, though I pray that nothing happens.

[That itself presents as the hardest challenge for Kojiro...]

I suppose I could support you from the sidelines, whatever the feelings you had in your very heard, Li Shuwen.

[ Here I make the joke of Hassan--- But clearly, we must make this happen now. ]

You have my gratitude for your help, my friend. I need to think carefully about any possible outcomes of this before doing anything.

[God don't even bring Hassan into this kind of topic.]

You're welcome. Either way, I am surprised to see how a Persona manifest, in fact.

[ But think in all the things you two have in common..... ]

During my meditations I found out about him being my Persona, though I agreed that I would summon when there was an enemy I could not defeat. But I was consumed by my anger and end calling out for him.

[He's not a cardboard cut.]

Hmm, critical moment of one... So what I've heard was true, indeed. In some extreme extend, that's not a perfectly good thing. [Like this one, bro. U MAD?]

[ sdnfsldk Hassan either. ]

Heh, I was quite known in my later years for me inner rage canalizing it outside. [ and then he was a Berserker. ] There is no point in thinking so hard about this, what it's done is done, right?

[ How peculiar, look who else is out for midnight shadow thumping. She does catch most of what the Assassin says, however, having turned the corner to follow where this mindless parade of shadows were going. ]

Li.

[ A gentle call, whereupon Caster waves lightly when their eyes meet. ]

[ That voice and this time is not part of his head. Assassin looks to the woman from the spot in the floor. Why was she here...? He wanted to believe she didn't hear his burst of frustration back then. ]

Tamamo.

[ Quick to think Tamamo just bounces next to Li. ]

Iyaaa, you dispatched those shadows like they were made of match sticks! ♥

[ So cheerful, he likes that in contrast with his own personality.

Yet here he is, thinking she deserves better. Let's face it, such an Assassin like him can't taint her path with his presence. Let's blame this to the Event.

BUT I SHIP THIS LIKE BURNING. ]

They do not give a suitable challenge, no matter how many I defeat.
