Akihiko looked down at the complicated-looking diagrams in the book. On the one hand? If there was a chance of figuring all that out so that fewer of them needed an Evoker...but on the other, that stuff looked like the physics homework assignment from hell. He wasn't a bad student, but, well, Mitsuru was the top student in their grade, their leader always managed top exam scores, and Ken was just plain bright for his age. Any of the three of them would probably be able to manage that kind of thing with less work than it would take for him.

That's if it was even possible to summon a Persona with that kind of array, he realized. It did take a certain amount of psychological shock to awaken one in the first place, and to summon them after that. "Wow. That's some impressive-looking work, Leon. How long did it take to make all those arrays and things? I guess, too, it'd take a long time to study that much. I was just, well, curious."

Yeah. Curious. Not trying to figure out how we can all use our powers with only one magical device - and did I mention that using it requires us to shoot ourselves? Yeah.

"It's normal for it to look kind of yellow sometimes, yeah, and I think you're right about folks calling that a harvest moon - at least I've heard the term. But, well...a lot more changes during the Dark Hour than just the moon. The world around you - the normal world, I should say - looks a lot like this place does at night. I still don't think the two are related, though," he said, scratching his chin.

"For one, night here lasts a lot longer than the Dark Hour does. For another...yeah, I haven't seen the moon change. And...you're right. It couldn't have affected anyone's timeline from any time before the accident. Especially not if they're from that far back."
