Oh my God, I LEFT THE STOVE ON AT HOME!

Seiichi had been waiting for six goddamn hours for the retests to come back. He didn't have his laptop, his tablets, his smartphones or handhelds.

He was without any of his devices. And he was bored shitless.

Seiichi grabbed the remote for the bed, tipping the head of the hospital bed back so he could try to relax. But it was to no avail- the boredom was causing his thoughts to run around in circles.
I wish someone would visit me...heh, that's actually kinda funny. I usually hate being around people.

WHERE THE FUCK IS MARIO
Treo hadn't been allowed to carry his gun into the hospital. It bared repeating that the boy had even considered the idea. He had finally narrowed down his search. Every clue was important and slowly but surely the truth came into view. He knocked on the hospital door and walked in. He was silent until he sat down by his bed, turning the chair around to lean on the back.

"So. We meet at last, Masquerade. Or should I say Seiichi." He paused for a moment. "I'm Treo Ashdown. Otherwise known as EnterTheDragon." That wasn't enough. He wanted to do something, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Why? Why... all of it?"

Seiichi laughed. "A scrawny geek like me, Masquerade?! Hahahaha! Oh, that's rich! Where's your proof, your smoking gun?"

Treo gave a grin. "Ahahaha. You think its that easy to worm out of it? I've searched the other Seiichis. I've found your real name. You fit the psych profile. You want to create a new world order because of how downtrodden you are now. You want someone else to stand on top of the mountain." He leant against the seat of the chair.

"You're in hospital now and will at this rate, probably die. You don't want me to prove anything. So why don't you just admit it."

Seiichi grinned. "Because you're wrong. I am not Masquerade."

In a sense, he was telling the truth. Rei was the new Masquerade, Seiichi had given up the alias.

Treo grinned back in reply. "I suppose I'll cancel the hooker coming out of a cake then. No surprise here. You couldn't be Masquerade. You're just a kid, a kid who doesn't know anything." But then he started to nod. "But change the perspective. I'll prove why you have to be Masquerade."

He held his hand out. "Number 1. You've been identified as the killer by numerous people. You can claim that you're not Masquerade, or they are lying. But then I ask, why would you lie? What is your gain. Number 2. Upon searching your location we found the same drugs used to sedate patients. Even if you aren't the killer, that's theft and not only that, what's a kid like you doing with narcotics? That's an easy 10 years right there."

He grinned. "But these two facts could go away. If you answer one question. Why. Give me your why and I'll leave. I already closed the book on you. I just want to know why you did it."

"Like I said before, I'm NOT Masquerade, and I have never killed anyone." said Seiichi. Another half-truth. The Shadows did the dirty work for him- all he did was bring them their meal. He gave Treo a smug grin. "But I could make a guess as to Masquerade's motives: I suppose he-or she, Masquerade might be a girl- would've seen how vicious the non-Persona-users could get after being mugged by gun-toting anti-Persona-user thugs and shot. Barely making it out of there alive, I'd guess that Masquerade began to envision a world where the Persona users wouldn't fear being lynched at the hands of those who despised them because of their gift."

"Whatever you say Masquerade."

He nodded. "Very perceptive work Akamatsu-san. But you know what they say. Those who know the story clearly are the ones who fabricated it." He leaned against the chair. "So there's the why. Masquerade felt... threatened by Anti Persona user mobs. A simple origin and one I had guessed. The act of taking his victims somewhere by tranquilizing them... a logical place would be the ruins."

He crossed his arms. "Which is where the victims would vanish. A subtle riposte to their violence. 'What we protect you from will kill you'. Very apt."

"Not Masquerade." insisted Seiichi, now just being facetious. "I have a theory- perhaps the ability to use Persona is genetic? Think about how many Persona users there are that have Persona users in their family: The Montos, The Nakagawa twins, the Itoi Brothers, the Susakis..."

He decided to let the boy think whatever he wanted as he moved on. "Genetic? That's a strange theory, but you've caught my interest. Perhaps it is more psychological?" He held a finger in the air. "I propose this. If a persona is a replication of your own mental state, the why, why us? Why Nagashima? I believe its quite like the ruins."

He sat up from the chair. "I propose Philemon IS an experiment. This may not be the Philemon that is implied to be involved with the other events, perhaps this Philemon gives Persona like a person gives roles in a play. Giving them to siblings would make sense in that regard. What better conflict than the conflict of brother against brother, against sister? It is where it began, with Cain and Abel."

He smiled to Seiichi. "A theory's a theory though. Good job on changing the subject. Wouldn't want your mask to fall off."
