Minato shook his head, unsure of how to explain the concept of personas to someone who seemed to be from a more magical side of the supernatural than he was. He stopped eating to sip at his own drink, some kind of fruit juice, and he sat back a little as he mulled his next answer.
"What you would call a familiar, what this place would call a familiar, was not unlike what we had back home," He started. "But they were called Personas and unlike Kuro, mine were me, and I am them. Kuro is not me, he is his own person. Personas are our personality given physical form. In psychological terms, a persona is one of many masks we wear to get through our daily lives. How we act and speak to one person is different to another. What I and my friends could do was bring that to life, but it was only during a hidden 25th hour of the day between midnight and the next day. We called it the Dark Hour."
Kuro sat up, looking at Minato intently. The familiar knew a bit of this already, being bonded of course, but it was the first to hear the details.
"Everyone has a persona, even you," He said. "But only a select few have the potential to summon it. Those with the potential could see the Dark Hour, but then you were also susceptible to the shadows that roamed during this time. You won't need to worry about it, though. The Dark Hour is gone now."
