One by one, familiar voices called out to Souji as the fog of Yomi seemed to drain his strength. Their encouragement felt as though it was canceling out the fog’s - no, Izanami’s - efforts. He can’t fall here, they seem to be saying. He can’t let the goddess take him. Not today.

The more the voices encouraged him, the more he felt stronger. Eventually, he was able to open his eyes and watch as his friends each appeared to him and said their piece.

And then an unfamiliar voice drifted into the fog.

“I never thought you would give up. Not after we’ve been through. Do you remember the labyrinths?”

“Why?” Souji found himself saying, surprised he can speak now.

The boy was about to reply but he started to fade away instead.

“I’m running out of time,” said the boy, “I can’t explain. You’ll have to ask Margaret about Arisato Minato.”

He vanished, leaving confusion in his wake.

A child’s voice drifted in, “Big Bro…”

Sighing, he heads over to the shopping district and enters the Velvet Room one last time.

Margaret looks up at him.

“Who is Arisato Minato?” he asks.

Margaret looks down at the Compendium in her lap for a moment before she looks back at Souji.

“Let me tell you a story of a boy who became the Great Seal to save humanity and the woman who wishes to save him from that fate…”
