Unfortunately, Mako seemed to see through his little white lie and went straight to the point. Rui didn't seem to be here yet, so Sato leaned his shoulder against the wall next to the door and started explaining. "You're correct. We're the ones that saved you, but you don't know the others. And you're right about the kidnapping... All of us are the past victims of the cultist kidnappings, and they all went the same way: abduction, almost commit a form of suicide, and then face yourself." Sato smiled to himself, glad that Mako would never get to know what he'd went through. His shadow... was less than nice. "If you recall, after you accepted your shadow-- the 'other you', I mean--, you saw a figure, correct? That means you've gained the persona ability, and you can use a persona. It's a bit complicated, so I'll let our leader talk to you about it, but know that you now have a power only us few have. I won't force you, but you'd be a great help on our team if you'd like to join." "As for the others," Sato continued, stopping to remember their faces as if to check if they were really alive. "You don't have to worry. They're fine, but they also went through the same thing you went through. I haven't talked to them yet, so I don't know what they said about any of this. So, umm... I guess you should wait for a guy named Shinichi Rui, our leader. I'm not really prepared to explain everything, but he's done it enough that he's probably memorized what to say by now." Sato pushed off from the wall, smoothing off his uniform as he stood up-right. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any of the notes you missed today. We're in different years after all. Hopefully someone will come by and get those to you soon." This was going... awkwardly. Usually Rui showed up first and he could just saw hi and stand to the side. It was oddly suffocating being alone with a patient. That was probably something he'd have to get used to, later on... Mako wasn't a patient though, but was he a friend? Their relationship was so weird that is was hard to decipher where they stood. Either way, Sato found himself without much else to say, and that meant the only thing left was cheesy garbage. "I'm really glad you're okay. You guys, I mean. I'd like to hope nobody else will get hurt, and I hate to be negative, but that's probably just wishful thinking. This is just the start of whatever those cultists are plotting... Foiling this plan only means they're going to try again or try something new, and I'm not sure which is more frightening."
