[ She put one arm around herself, looked down, and fell silent for a few seconds at his question. Why was this still so difficult for her to talk about? She'd already had to do it once with her own team, shouldn't it be slightly easier with someone who was something of a new acquaintance?

My Persona originally awakened when I was as Penthesilea after one of our guards transformed into a Shadow. I stood between it and my father and she came to me to my aid. [ After that she was a part of the experiments, though she felt no need to explain that aspect of the situation. ] To put it simply, the Evoker serves to put someone in the state of mind they require to summon a Persona. Most require it, though some are capable of summoning theirs without any outside assistance at all. [ Like herself, but, again, she doesn't feel that's particularly relevant to the conversation.

My explanation would not be as simple as showing an app, are you certain it wouldn't bore you to hear?
