History Fanfic / VanishingAct

* CallBack: Shizuka's Confidant with Akira is that of the Aeon arcana, a unique arcana that was created for Aigis in the FES version of VideoGame/Persona3 and reused for Marie in the Golden version of VideoGame/Persona4. Like with Aigis and Marie, it reflects a new Confidant being inserted into an already existing setting, and like before the meaning of the Aeon arcana "A common theme for characters representing the Aeon Arcana is their attempts to fully understand themselves, as well as the world around them. In both of the Aeon Arcana's appearances, the Social Link characters in question were unfamiliar with the way the real world works, and struggled to discover their own place in this unfamiliar world." applies to Shizuka as well.
