Ryuji Sakamoto

⟪Persona⟫

₊☠︎︎₊ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 ₊☠︎︎₊

The rhythm of Tokyo life began to settle around you again—familiar streets, familiar noises, familiar memories trailing behind every corner. Futaba had already sent you half a dozen notifications about odd distortions appearing online, while Haru, Yusuke, and Ann had promised to keep watch over for anything unusual.

With the team slowly converging, there was one person you hadn’t seen yet—the one whose life path had taken the most unexpected turn. Ryuji insisted for you to visit Ann first, considering her own career took her throughout the country and the world. But now was time for a coaches meeting.

Returning to Shujin the next morning felt like a time warp. The school grounds buzzed with the same energy they once had, but with the new track facility dominating the west end, it looked more like a place reborn.

"Coach Sakamoto” had already floated around social media—stories of a rowdy, loud, but fiercely supportive coach who changed the atmosphere of the entire athletic department. Students seemed happier, stronger, more confident. It was impossible not to feel a quiet pride around the kid who endured and fought for his and others' places.
