Persona: I can’t become a burden to you. Now go, by yourself, to Natsume…
Page 2
Mikan: Ah…
Persona: Go quickly… I’ll stop for a while too… and recover. We’ve stopped the enemy’s steps for a while, so take advantage of this time and go immediately to meet with Natsume…
Mikan (thinking): I’ve… only spent a little time with him, but I feel so hard hit by separating with Persona now… Leaving him alone, in this state. I don’t know when I started to rely so much on Persona.
Page 3
Mikan (thinking): Going forward alone, I don’t know when that became so lonely and unsettling…
Persona: Go stop Natsume…
Page 4
Mikan: Persona, when this war ends, will you… will you still meet with us? That tiny unsettling thing I felt in my heart right now, will you promise me that it won’t happen…?
Page 5
Mikan: I will try hard too, like just now. Can you keep your promise too…? We’ll go see Nobara together, and let her see that we’re both safe…
Page 6
Mikan: And then Nobara can rest easy… Persona, who’s always shouldered that sort of power, who uses it to protect others, who’s stronger and gentler than anyone else, I want not only me but Nobara and the rest to know about it.
Text: Rei… There will be a day when you start to like your Alice. No matter how painful it is right now, these tests will no doubt

Text: Borrow one’s strength, become one’s strength, and defeat all obstacles
Mikan: That way, daddy and the rest in heaven will see it too…
Persona: …Don’t worry.

Persona: Thank you. I promise you that I will definitely
Page 9
Persona: Continue to live and never let go of your feelings for the rest of my life. They will be the force that moves me, along with Sensei’s and Nobara’s feelings as well… I will never forget them.
Page 10
Persona: I am fine… Go quickly. Natsume is waiting for you.
Mikan: You
Student: Ah… Hey, that’s… Sakura Mikan… Hyuuga Natsume’s partner.
Mikan: Eh…
Student: Hyuuga right now, isn’t well.
Page 11
Student: Everyone is escaping from that building right now, but… he’s still fighting on alone… He’s clearly reached his limits. Because of me… I… was saved by him, therefore, I want to return the favor. If there’s anything I can do, if you want to go to where Hyuuga is, then I’ll take you there with my Alice.

Persona: Mikan
Text: (pushes)
Mikan: Thank you Persona.
Page 13
Discipline Team: Hey that’s… lying there…
Page 14
Discipline Team: Persona… Hey, that’s him for real, be careful. Even if he’s injured, his Alice is incredibly powerful… Don’t worry, isn’t he already half dead. But… we were supposed to go save the ESP as soon as possible... We need to catch this guy at least… But are you happy with just catching him? He’s with Sakura Mikan, and harmed quite a lot of us. We need to let him get a taste of the dungeon.
Text: Persona… Promise, to never use your Alice to harm anyone… And let yourself…

Text: Begin to start liking your Alice… From the bottom of your heart
Discipline Team: Aaaah!
Page 16
Rui: Persona, are you okay?!
Text: And to those important people who extend a hand, face them openly…
Page 17
Rui: We heard it all from Hotaru-chan.
Hotaru’s Note: Dangerous Ability Class, Persona’s life in danger, move immediately. (Stamped Hotaru)
Hayate: Hey, he’s still alive.
Rui: Trying so hard to do things that you’re not used to doing… You shouldn’t let Nobara-chan worry.
Hajime: Clearly you’re worried as well…
Hayate: Looks like you really can’t be without us, Persona.
Page 18
Hayate: Eh? Persona fell asleep…?
Rui: Idiot. His life is clearly in danger. Yakumo, use your healing insects!
Page 19
Natsume: Has the barrier protecting the ESP lost to my flames, or have I used all my strength. There’s no way back, I have to end this…
Page 20
Natsume: I will not let your fangs reach those who come after us, not even a little bit. If my strength is used up… Then when this Alice disappears, so will my life’s light
Kaoru: I’m sorry, Natsume…
Page 21
Kaoru: Letting you inherit your mother’s life-shortening Alice type…
Natsume: Even so, all the days after meeting Ruka and everyone else, I don’t regret them one bit…
Page 22
Natsume: I wanted to preserve everyone’s happiness… This dream slowly grew stronger and stronger. If it can become true, then I should have no regrets. Even though I should have no regrets, Mikan, your

Natsume: Smile, became my hope to continue living, the moment before the light… (T/N: This was a bit confusing in Chinese. I think he’s referring to the last moment before his life’s light disappears.)
Mikan: Natsume…
