The entire moment felt like it'd lasted more than just a few seconds. This man had come off as suspicious, and she couldn't help but stare at the skyline. That was when she saw the glint of a rifle, and the growling in her head intensified as Cerberus emerged from her body and mauled the man with the yellow grin. In the next moment, Aera pulled Youhei back to avoid the shot and into the cover of an abandoned shack.

"Shit, sneaky little fucks." she growled before readjusting her grip on her 9mm. She turned her gaze to the man beside her, giving him a once over. "Are you hurt? Sorry about that, had to act quick. That sniper is still out there, and a pistol won't be enough to pick that guy off. Do...you have anything?" she asked awkwardly as her Persona returned to her, his maw and chest dripping with blood as he stepped into the shack with heavy paws. Cerberus let out a content rumble before vanishing, appearing as a glowing mist that returned to Aera's body.
