[P5] After Awakening a Persona

[The conspicuous odd one out in a small group]

[An honor student who refuses to submit but can barely protect himself]

[A gentle, taciturn do-gooder]

These were the labels once pinned on Kitahara Izumi. Under the pressure of the shadows cast by twisted desires, a defiant soul was born within this body, tearing apart the nightmare that had kept him from finding himself.

Kitahara Izumi thought that the journey ahead would be as lonely and bland as his lost sense of taste.

Everything changed during the start of the school year, amid showers of cherry blossoms and the scent of red bean paste.

Amamiya Ren shook his head and peeled the labels off him. "Izumi is an incredibly kind and reliable companion."

The gray-haired boy lowered his head obediently, wanting to take off the glasses that concealed those captivating eyes.

"And..."
