(This is an alternative version of P3P, female route. The are a few minor changes, but the only major one is the inclusion of the Hunger Acarina.)
The Dark Hour. A hidden part of the night, when humans are locked within coffins and Shadows, the suppressed parts of human psyche, roam free and attack anyone they find.
Anyone hurt by them in the Dark Hour is cursed to experience Apathy Syndrome, left unmoving, and uncaring about everything, including themselves.
Luckily, there were those willing and able to fight off the threat of the Shadows. The Special Extracurricular Execution Squad, or SEES for short, was a group dedicated to dealing with the Shadow threat.
See, not everyone was trapped in a coffin when the Dark Hour came. Those that could move during this time had the power to fight back; they just didn’t know it yet.
They had the power of a Persona; ones mask that they used to hide their trues selves away from everyday society, a tamed Shadow. The members of SEES used these Personas to fight back the Shadows.
Backed by the Kirijo Group, a powerful company who wished to eliminate the Shadows as well, SEES attacked the Shadows at their source: a massive twisted tower made from buildings that only showed within the Dark Hour;
Tartarus.
This massive Shadow hive, located on the grounds of at Gekkoukan High School during nighttime, contained millions of Shadows, and 12 powerful Shadows, named after Major Acarina of the Tarot, that (theroitcally) if defeated, would destroy the Dark Hour.
So far, operating out of a dorm building close to (and attending) Gekkoukan, and thus Tartarus, SEES had defeated the Priestess on May 9th, the Emperor and Empress on June 8th, the Hierophant on July 7th, the Lovers, July 7th, and the Chariot and Justice, August 6th. 7 down, 5 to go.
But Tartarus was not a stable place......and there were Shadows deep within that didn’t follow the rules the SEES knew of. Things were about to swell out of control....

At the current moment, a party of 4 SEES agents was making their way up Tartarus. This small but elite group consisted of:
-Kotone Shiomi, nicknamed Minako by her teammates, a brown haired, crimson eyed bubbly girl full of emotion and kindness, an insane hunger, and terrible worries and memories of losing those she loved.
Her Persona was Orpheus, but she had the rare ability to take on multiple Personas, which made her a valuable asset to SEES.
-Junpei Iori, a boisterous fool of a boy with a mean swing, who behind his immaturity and grey eyes, hid self-loathing and feelings of uncertainty for his future and great feelings of uselessness.
His Persona was Hermes, herald of the Roman Gods.
-Ken Amada, a young boy who was rather mature for his age....for a good reason. Though no-one besides him knew, he joined SEES to get revenge for his mother, who was accidentally killed by one of their members, Shinjiro. This quest for revenge was all that he had in mind for his future...
His Persona was Nemesis, Roman God of Revenge.
-Koromaru, a albino Shiba Inu who is very loyal to those he considers friends. His former master was a monk, and Koromaru protected his shrine even after the monk passed away, even from unnatural threats. At times,he displays human levels of intelligence.
His Persona was Cerberus, the three headed Guard Dog of the Underworld.
As the four made their way up the newly opened floors of Tartarus, not much was discussed between them, as the Shadows here were strong, and people occasionally wandered in, so they had to save them. But as they made their way to the next floor......they found a surprise.
