It was lunchtime at Windian High School... Frank had just taken his sister to the Principal's office so that Jess could get her registered for school on Monday morning. The Persona User stopped in front of the auditorium as he passed it and took a look at the double doors.

"Frank?"

The Persona User turned and saw Lucy, Ray, and Janet watching him. Frank noticed a look of concern on Janet's face, but just dismissed it completely.

"Hey guys... what's up?"

"Nothing, really." Janet replied as she continued to watch the Persona User. "What about you? What's on your mind?"

The question obviously surprised Frank, since it caused the Persona User to raise an eyebrow. "Well... just the dance tonight... We've been practicing all week... I'd like to sing a song just for fun..."

"Go ahead then." Lucy said to the Persona User.

"I was thinking about it, actually... I think I will... right before I head outside..." Frank said before entering the auditorium. Ray, Lucy, and Janet looked at each other before following him in.

"So... what song are you going to sing?" Ray asked as he slipped an arm around Lucy's waist.

"Something that's obviously not dance material..." The Persona User said as he unbuckled his guitar case. Frank removed his white and black guitar and slung it over his shoulders.

Lucy, Ray, and Janet just looked at one another curiously before taking a seat in front of the stage.

"This song..." Frank said as he sat on the edge of the stage and strummed a few chords on his guitar to make sure it was in tune. "Is one that's been on my mind for awhile..." The Persona User looked at his friends before speaking once more. "It's called Heroes." With that, Frank began to play a tune on his guitar. After a few moments, his voice joined in, flooding the auditorium.

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever

We can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day.

I, I remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever

Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day

Frank slowly came to a stop and looked at his friends. Ray, Lucy, and Janet just had shocked looks on their faces.

"That was one of my favorite songs back home..." The Persona User said as he thought about his current life. Hero... That's what I've been labeled... with all I've been through... SEBEC... The Snow Queen... Frank was starting to get that glossy, lost look again, but managed to shake it off. Before he could, Lucy and Janet just managed to catch it.

"Hey... I'll see you three at lunch..." Frank said as he packed up his guitar and made his way out of the auditorium, leaving three of his friends in bewilderment.
