[ Minato isn't too sure, knowing what he does about how Aigis got her Persona, or all those involved with Strega, but however the power came to them, it doesn't change the fact that they were all a form of strength, whether it's out of a need to protect or fight back. ]

I dunno. I guess that's something I could've asked Igor, but it's a little late for that.

[ He lets Koromaru's paws go, so the dog can sit up straight and lean into the scratch. ]

As for now, though, protecting people... I want to be able to do what I can with my own two hands. I don't need my Persona for that. So that's what I mean by "until I have a good reason to," I guess.
