An Unknown Variable
[I think it is best to send him back, but he seemed interested in following another person through their exit... He wishes to find a new city.]
Sataki had listened to Quintus's words, his fear slowly ebbing away into regret, then finally settling on... calmness, something that didn't fit the teens normally wide smile.
"Didn't think my inner self hated me enough to torture me... but I did force it to sleep for ages... about what you said Quintus, thanks, I've lived alone all my live, so suddenly having someone say what you said makes me feel as if I can accept a small part of mys- gurk..."
[Oh? Does he have you at a loss for wo-]
A cry, in an instant, screams of pain echoed around the Velvet Room, the flames wavering ever so slightly despite being a loop as Sataki fell to the ground gripping his head as his mind and body shook with pain, it felt as though his entire being was being torn apart as something echoed within his mind, something only he could hear, Igor understood the moment the cry left his lips, the table he normally sat at disappeared and he backed away a few paces.
{A poor soul... Seen to the world as evil, having been wronged by your own kind, thy name bares a black mark seen only by you upon the red dashes set upon you by others with false acclaim, tell me, do you wish to heal? Do you wish to find yourself whole? While also leading others to the truth?}
"M-Me? Heal others? Such a role does not befit me..."
{Incorrect, you are worthy of the healer, a man who can be wounded, but heals others, yet you are stronger, I can sense it, much like others you may meet... One of my kind is not enough, now please, I beg of you, speak my name.}
"I-I... TITANIA!"
{I am Thou, Thou art I, you who has been painted in black and wish for nothing but to heal, I grant you your wish and allow you to bring me forth at your behest, for present and future, I will be your first of many, your Empress.}
In a moment the flames around the house blew away and from the females body on the floor emerged an Elven Queen, her green dress embroiled with golden cloth fit well with her unearthly looks, long pointed ears peeked out from beneath beautiful golden hair while soft green eyes looked around the room, focusing on Sataki as he spoke before moving to Quintus.
{Finally, you have gained the strength to move on, I pray you can keep your words child, you gave him this will, so you must see to it that he doesn't lose it.}
[Welcome to the Velvet Room, Empress.]
"Huh? W-What?'
{I must leave for now, the impish man will explain.}
[Welcome, despite your inner world, your crimes are present, so I guess your parole starts from here, absolve yourself of false sins from here on, I pray you pick a decent name like those other brats, Joker was a good choice after all.]
The world once again became a Prison, this symbolized the most simple thing, moving on, especially for someone willing to pay the price and move forward, something Sataki, after so many years was willing to do for once.
An Unknown Variable
"Glowing? My eyes Glow? Huh... that's a new one."
[I had no plans on telling him what a Persona was until the awakened.]
There was no possibility of arguing in Igor's tone, well, it wouldn't have been argued if Aoi hadn't gone about explaining it, his wish to allow the new potential to find out about his new strength when it Awoke rather than explain it to him outright was now gone, as he had seen, some of the strongest Persona users had been the ones thrusted into the field with no prior knowledge, it seemed sudden fear breeds true talent in some cases.
"Come on man, Summoning? Representation of Myself? You are talking as if we were anime characters!"
[You will find out soon enough, also from myself, I am inclined to believe his eye color and glowing are affected by the same thing as a Shadow, yet he lacks the drastic personality change and has the capabilities of possibly awakening a persona. The fact it is currently night time supports this idea as his eyes had not been glowing earlier, but such a thing is unheard of.]
