I was right, after all. Everyone in the dorm, including the Chairman, are in a secret club. Mitsuru's the president, and Ikutsuki's the staff advisor.
Here's the deal, standard disclaimer about how I'm just sticking to what I've heard first-hand:
There's an extra hour each day, that they call the "Dark Hour", which happens at midnight. The light goes green, all the electricity goes out, and shadow monsters like the one I... fought... come out and attack people.
Most people don't experience it; they're in those freaky coffins I saw the first night I got here, that I thought was some kind of art installation. But some people don't get coffined, and they get attacked by the shadows. The shadows eat your brain (or soul, or something) and leave you an empty husk. This is the "Apathy Syndrome" that's been in the news a lot here.
But Mitsuru and co. (including Akihiko, who I finally met. He totally wants to be Batman.) fight back against the shadows, using fake guns like Yukari's to summon "Personas". Just like Igor said, in my dream.
So I'm the newest member of the club now. And there was something else Igor said... there was this voice in my head, saying that it would grow stronger as I strengthened my relationship with SEES.
This is completely surreal.
I guess I know why Yukari's so crazy about self-defense stuff.

PS. Apparently Junpei has a secret that he can't tell me. Neither of us knows anything about the Jomun period that the history teacher was talking about, though...
