"You've always been pretty damn sharp, Hoops-chan."

Junpei nodded, impressed with her but... also sort of hoping her saying that wouldn't bring out a horde of shadows. Just his and her luck, right?

"From what Mitsuru-senpai said, about ten years? Since the big explosion on Port Island... from what I can remember, it all started with her grandfather decided 'welp, the world sucks so instead of using these monsters for timetravel stuff like we planned, we're gonna end the goddamn world!" He gestured broadly with his free hand, before sighing.

"But Yuka-tan's dad... stopped the experiment, but he... didn't make it out. The explosion did something wonky with like... time and space? I guess? And now we have the Dark Hour-- that's what we call it."

He was focusing so much on trying to relay the information to Hoops-chan, he maaay have not been paying much mind to what was going on around them.

"Me an' the rest of the dorm all have a special power though-- our Personas! They're like summons from an RPG and are one of the only things that can stop the monster--Shadoooo----oooooh crap--!"

Watch out Hoops, because you're getting shoved out of the way as Junpei blocks a blow from a Shadow that launched out from behind a car-- gritting his teeth, his sword taking the brunt of the creatures swipes before pushing it back with a hard slash through it--

"Damnit! Hoops-chan, stay behind me!"

Sure, Mikasa was pretty tough, but she wasn't a Persona user!
