[ The strength to fight back... Whatever circumstances surround Akira's being granted the power of Personas, it feels so much different than Minato's own. But even then he can relate to parts of it— he had first harnessed the power when he needed it the most, but rather than something he had wanted to fight for a very long time, it felt like the first time in his life that he'd stood up against death and fate and swore to protect those he could with his own hands. Rather than granting him strength, the Persona felt like courage, guiding him towards the strength that was already there. ]

[ He says nothing more about sharing his own story for now, but he crouches down and plays with Koromaru's paws, and thinks he could share his. ]

For Koromaru, too, I think it came when he needed it. It came when he needed to protect his shrine— his home- and I guess it's something like that for me too.
