[Action]

[One moment she was wearing a (admittedly silly) pair of cat ears while shooting a tranquilizer at a Blade Child. The next, she was somewhere else completely.

Hiyono can't help but be surprised. The switch seemed almost instantaneous; the school setting changed to a cityscape, and one with a strange green sky to boot. It was all so impossible, she seriously wondered if she hadn't fallen asleep on her feet and started dreaming.

Still, she keeps her guard up, gripping the tranquilizer gun in her hands like it was her last lifeline. And in her condition, it really could be. She is only too aware of how weak her body is, having lost so much blood so recently. The wound may have been treated, but she would need a blood transfusion if she wanted to recover anytime soon. Even now, she couldn't help but lean heavily against a nearby wall for support, her legs wobbling beneath her.

It's as she is slowly making her way forward when she first sees it. A shadowy blob, approaching her menacingly. Her mind racing, she gives a short scream as she points her gun at it.]

YEEEEK!

[The airgun is fired, producing a relatively slight sound. Although the shadow takes the hit, it continues sluggishly towards her. It doesn't take a genius to realize she probably can't take this thing down on her own- whatever it is.]

H-help! Someone, help!

[Oho.]

Magic? Like that... spell you used earlier?

[It's weird to say, but if it's magic, that surely could be the only suitable word.]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Real, bonafide magic, huh?]

Are there different types, or...?

All kinds of different types! Mine's wind-elemental, but some people have fire types and lightning types and all kinds of things.

...I see.

[Wind, lightning, and fire? Those don't match with any classical elements she's familiar with.]

And how are you able to summon it? Do you just learn when you get it?

[Injured she may be, but it's not stopping her from asking away in the slightest.]

Yeah, you just kind of... do it. I just knew how. It felt pretty natural, so I didn't even notice.

Hmm... I still don't quite understand it all, but maybe it will make more sense when I get my own.

[Because she will definitely be looking into that at some point when she isn't struggling to walk.]

Thanks for all the information...?

[She leaves it hanging, waiting for a name to address the girl by.]

Yeah, you'll get it, it's not that hard.

Oh! It's Sakurako.

Thank you for all of the help, Sakurako. I don't know where I'd be without you.

[Besides dead, but. Y'know.]

No problem! I can come out with you at night after you've gotten your Persona if you want, too.

Really? That would be so helpful!

[She's sincerely grateful for this. Even when she's got some kind of guardian... spirit... thing... it'd be a comfort to have someone more experienced backing her up.]
