Warning for spoilers of 'The Answer'/'Episode Aegis', blood, violence, and mental breakdowns

piece 00. blood

It's all over.

Aegis pulls for shell after shell, bullet after bullet. The human blood splatters and she doesn't enjoy it. She's never really enjoyed it, the smell or sound of blood. She's always thought about it. She has oil, at the most. The failure of the mission is always eclipsing her concern in that regard.

The arrow is suddenly close to her nose and she snaps it from the air. Her eyes are quietly searching for its wielder. Another fires.

Yukari is really, truly trying to kill her. Which for a human is likely impossible, but congratulations for trying at any rate.

It's insulting and ironic, in its own way.

She mouths her sister's name. Metis' response is swift and rough, smacking into Yukari with such awful, painful force.

Fuuka cries out her surprise, pain, and reproach.

Is this the end of them?

Is this how we really are without you? Is this how disgusting we are without you?

Minato-san… I want to see you.

But she doesn't really want to admit it.

Yukari's honesty is truly envy worthy, when she thinks about it.

But Aegis can't think anymore. She has to win. Has to discover the answer. If she doesn't, then everything will be meaningless.

If it already isn't anyway.

A/N: So... I'm insane, proud of it, and this is me finally getting my butt into Persona 3 again. Pairings are currently undecided, because of plot thing. Also this is told in a similar way to the chapters of the Persona 3 manga, with varying lengths depending on who or what i'm writing about. This is based on an alternate ending of 'The Answer' but of course, things can never be that simple. I hope we all know where this is going. Please read and review! Any pairing suggestions are welcome, for the most part.
