[ Rise looks almost like she's about to cry. She can feel Kanzeon even now, even if she can't access her, and by all rights, her Shadow shouldn't be here like this. She never wanted her friends to see this, either. ]

When I acknowledged her, she turned into my Persona. I don't know why-- but--

[ she's trembling, but slowly stepping forward. She can't look at Sora right now, far too frightened to verify what he must be thinking about her. Instead, she locks eyes with her Shadow, brown meeting gold.

... And she holds out her arms. ]

I get it. It's like I told you before, you - Risette, too - all of those parts are me, and if I deny any of that, it's as good as running away. And that hurts more than me, it hurt you, too.

[ a pause. ]

I'm... I'm scared. I'm scared to show everybody who I really am, instead of the Risette they know. But I can't turn back now, and I won't. Trust me... they'll know you exist, too.

But I'm also not going to let any part of me hurt Sora. Is that really what you want to show him?
