A new function has appeared on the communication device for some characters: a strange symbol with an eye, and no obvious use. Do you try to delete it? It might work, for a little while. But it comes back, no matter what lengths you take to get rid of this thing.
If a character chooses to run the app, they'll find that it's called the Metanav, and it speaks to them in a feminine voice: "Please enter a destination." It seems to want a voice command.
Unfortunately, any combination of words you try will result in a gentle error sound and that voice saying, "Conditions have not been met." There's no lock-out or limit to how many attempts you can make, and it will keep rejecting every try.
(As a note of interest, the name Goro Akechi in full, spoken anywhere near a device that carries the Metanav -- a one in a million chance, sure, but coincidences happen -- will earn a victorious chime from the app and a triumphant, "Destination found." But from there it seems to want more keywords...)
A few days after the Metanav appearing for some residents of the station, someone is definitely putting it to use. But Reverie is a close-quarters situation, and not every corner and corridor can be checked before turning on the app. On top of that, some devices are activating the Metanav on their own, without a destination at all -- people are being dragged in left and right.
You feel something strange wash over you, like vertigo. But nothing seems to have happened. You're still in the station, and your surroundings are... mostly normal. Actually, something isn't quite right. It's hard to put your finger on it; the air feels wrong, heavy, and the shadows are darker, the station even more unsettling than usual.
And everyone around you is gone.
You can search for hours, and maybe you'll find one or two other unfortunate souls in the same situation as you, but that's it. The rest of the station's residents have vanished.
If you have the Metanav app on your communication device, you're in luck: using it will bring you right back to the station as normal, like sliding between one plane of reality to another. If you don't have the Metanav... you're stuck. Alone.
Wandering around the strange "other" station is mostly uneventful. Everything about it seems to be unchanged in terms of layout; the same doors are still blocked off, the rooms are in the same locations, the view from the Observation Deck is the vast expanse of space...
But you're not as alone here as you thought.
There are monsters. They come in various shapes and sizes, some of them humanoid and some of them far from it. There don't seem to be a lot of them around, so it's easy to miss them entirely, but if you do run into them, they'll attack without hesitation, and some of them are strong.
If you can fight back: magic is most effective against them in every case. Fighting them physically is a strange case, because if you think it will work, it will, no matter what your weapon. If you don't think it'll work, then it won't.
If you can't fight back, and nobody comes to save you: you're dead. At least you'll wake up in the real world.
There's one more thing populating the "other" station. They come and go at random, sometimes there and sometimes not -- strange, spectral images of other people. Their faces are vague and they don't seem to have any interest in you, seeming to talk to themselves even when you try to get their attention, but they're definitely people. They have enough features to tell them apart, and some of them seem almost familiar.
One of them is you.
It's not a clear image, just enough to be distinguishable, but it is you. Like looking at your own ghost. Its eyes, though -- its eyes are a little bit wrong. Yellowish.
This plot was brought to you by your Persona cast! All players who have signed up can have the Metaverse app appear on their communicators. The Phantom Thieves are here to rescue anyone who wants their heart stolen, and are available to discuss plotting. Once the Metaverse appears on Reverie, it will not disappear.

The only problem being-- his Four Dark Devas of Destruction did not transcend the barrier between the realms with him and he can't seem to penetrate it again to get back to them. It would be distressing for anyone else but! He will not panic! No!]
Emissary of evil hear my--!!
[Gundam's kneeling around the corner of a hallway walk way with an eyeliner pen, drawing the beginnings of a summoning circle on the floor. He looks up hearing Hajime shouting in distress, but doesn't quite see him yet.]
...?

O-Oi, Tanaka!
[Hajime only pauses long enough to grab Gundam's shoulder and try to tug him along with him.]
C'mon, we can outrun it!
[Probably.]

I am in the midst of a summoning ritual! The Four Dark Devas of Destruction have not ascended to this plane of existence with us! It is imperative that I break the seal!
[They could be lonely...]
2/2
...what manner of being is in pursuit of you? Who's done this to you? I shall show them true hell fire!
[Gundam will get up at least, but he's not the type to just run. Especially if they've decided to hurt THE SINGULARITY.]
no subject
[Oh for-- Hajime tugs, a little more insistently at Gundam's shoulder, but it's too late. The flaming jack-o'lantern rounds the corner and lets out an inhuman cackle, spitting another small fireball toward the two of them.
Hajime does his best to tackle Gundam out of the way. They're both slender machos, come on, please move.]

This one though.
It's not cute...]
2/2
D-do not hinder your escape worrying about my well-being, you fool!
