I've been a Persona user for over three years, and I have other powers as well. I wouldn't try to fight it, but I might be one of the best people to make sure nobody else gets badly hurt.
[Especially if...he uses Loki's shields. He doesn't like the idea of using that Persona anymore, though. It's the side of him that's hurt so many people, and it's hard to imagine anything good coming of it. But if it's the only way...]
[Guilt and dread and, more than anything, fear break through his emotional walls. His breathing quickens as he thinks back to the nightmare. He stares into the cold dregs of coffee in his cup in silence for a moment.
He can't let that come to pass. He doesn't want....things are different now. And god, he was doing it again, and....he squirms, then shakes the thought away. Of course it's not gone. But it's no one's problem but his own.]
Hasn't appeared with more than one other person around. Please, just run.
["I don't leave friends and allies behind!" Akira would... Minato squeezes his eyes shut. No. Stop thinking about the dream.]
It does matter. Whether or not you get hurt is important, too. But if it's not hostile to you, aside from a painful method of appearance, I won't hesitate to escape if I'm the only one in potential danger.
Don't think it is... [If what happened to Orpheus is some kind of omen or expression that it does mean him harm and just hasn't had the chance....he doesn't care. It doesn't matter.
He hates that he might be the only person it won't hurt. That....he shudders and shakes off the thought again. He...he'll figure something out. If it comes down to it. It can't be that hard to disappear.]
Given the fact that it's only appeared when you were in mortal danger, it seems unlikely that it would be. If it meant you harm, it would be easier to just not to anything.
I don't have any intention of getting destroyed to protect most of the people here. You can be sure of that.
Would prefer it... Don't want to... [He's been ready to die for a long time. He's never really expected to live very long. And he was pretty sure the world wouldn't even notice if he did, until recently.

Just don't want it to hurt anyone else.
