Feburary 14
Chapter 1: Morning
Amid Valentine's Day gossip in her homeroom class with Yosuke Hanamura as the teacher, Nanako Dojima's life is missing something. Ten years after the events of Persona 4, her life seems ideal: she's beautiful, smart, kind, and a respected student council member. Her father Ryotaro, ever the diligent cop, loves her dearly. Her stepmother Kaho has been everything she could have wished for over the past seven years. Her cousin/big bro Yu Narukami visits often, and the rest of his friends, her family, were as reliable as ever. But she's yet to find true friends among her own peers, and as her first year of high school nears its end, she's anxious to change that.
Chapter 2: Lunch Time
Two girls from another class report to Nanako that a boy named Sadao Okura had peeped on them and taken pictures while they were changing clothes. Nanako is somewhat familiar with the quiet boy and goes looking for him, finally finding him on the roof. Okura insists that he was framed by Daizo Ueno, the son of a wealthy local politician and a known womanizer and bully. Nanako believes Okura and takes his phone, resolving that they'll explain matters to the principal.
Chapter 3: After School
The principal states that they'll have to contemplate expelling Okura, despite Nanako's offers and explanations. Furious, she goes looking for Ueno, who's as smug as ever and doesn't budge an inch. Nanako realizes that his father's influence is in play here, influencing the principal and ensuring that Ueno faces no punishment.
Disgusted, Nanako wanders Inaba until she comes to the shrine, and makes a wish for Okura to be spared the unjust fate cast upon him. A voice behind her asks how serious she is about that wish, and she looks to see the shrine fox, who pads off, and the speaker, Ren Amamiya. His graceful, dark and mysterious nature had made him a middle school crush for her, and though his erstwhile prankster ways subsided the crush, he still makes her nervous. He reiterates the question, saying that he witnessed Ueno's actions, but his testimony won't mean anything if the principal ignored the ironclad evidence of Okura's phone.
Ren says he can get the phone for Nanako by breaking into the school and picking the locks, but he'll need to disable the alarm, which is only possible with the police's universal alarm code. Nanako is horrified, and Ren repeats that she needs to be serious about her wish; he can help her, but only if she's willing to do her part. Nanako asks for time to think, and Ren remarks that she has a couple of days at most before putting his glasses back on and walking off.
Nanako, shaking off the dizziness of familiarity of someone putting on glasses, asks the fox for advice. The fox points to an ema beside Nanako's wishing that evil hearts would change.
Chapter 4: Evening
Kaho gives Nanako Valentine's chocolate but notices her distraction. Nanako asks Ryotaro about what to do when people in power above him do the wrong thing, and Dojima explains that it depends, and people in power can interpret the laws in a way that isn't beneficial to the general public. When Nanako asks about breaking a law to do the right thing, her mother expresses support for the idea. Her father says that as a police officer, he'd be obligated to stop them; while laws are imperfect and fallible, they're needed to avoid a society where Might Makes Right, and the right thing to do in the face of a faulty law is change it. But as a person, in the face of naked injustice, he'd privately cheer them on.
