Persona 5 released was better than Akira expected.

Walking through Atlus Headquarters, Akira Kurusu never thought about how good Persona 5 sells would be. Being the protagonist of Persona 5 was exhausting, but seeing the joy on the faces of long and new Persona's fans, it was worth it.

Akira finally reached the room he was looking for. The room was a lounge with a few sofas and tables. On the corner, Akira could see a small kitchen with various utensils.

It was a normal looking lounge, but what made that particular lounge special was the people in it.

You see..., this the room where the Persona's protagonist gather.

Being new into the franchise, Akira admitted that his knowledge of the Persona's series isn't much, but he could easily identify the only person inside the room.

Grey hair and eyes, a Yasogami uniform, and a short sword not far from he was sitting on one of sofa. There were no way Akira could mistaking him, remembering that his faces was on the many posters adorning Atlus HQ's walls.

Yu Narukami, the protagonist of Persona 4.

Akira walk forward to sit on a sofa across from Yu. Even though they're technically the same age, Akira couldn't help but to set a good first impression for his Senpai.

"You must be Yu Narukami, the Persona 4 protagonist." Akira said, trying to tone down the exicitement in his voices, "I'm Akira Kurusu, the Persona 5 protagonist."

"Yeah, I heard about you. Congratulations, for finishing Persona 5." Yu replied, amused.

Akira laughed nervously, "Ah.. yeah! Thank you! It was a lot of work, but I'm glad it turned out well."

Yu sinister chuckle was his first warning.

"Right now you're free right? Want a drink?" Yu offered, holding a glass of some kind alcohol.

"Ah, no thanks. I don't drink."

Yu snorted, "For now."

That was his second warning.

"So.., what's your plan after Persona 5?" Yu asked. The dark exicitement in his eyes pops up warning sign inside his head, but Akira shrug it off, trying to think positive.

Akira smiled at the question. "Well, me and the rest of the Phantom Thieves actually planning to go to a road trip or something." He was about to elaborate more about his plan, but stopped when he saw his Senpai face.

Yu grinned, not a friendly grin, it's far from it. He started to cackled, radiating an air of some kind sick amusement. It's remind Akira of a supervillain laugh on TV. Instead this was really real.

Akira suddenly felt really afraid.

"Oh God Kid, You really are stupid."

"E-Excuse me?"

Yu grinned madly, "Persona 5 is a massive success! Do you really think that Atlus will just let you have a vacation? NO! Atlus will milk you dried to the bone, until their nothing you could offer them."

Akira widened his eyes, it's all made sense now.

The many Persona's spin-off, the non-existent acknowledgement that Persona 3 isn't the first Persona game, and the terrified scream he heard on the way here.

No...

Yu laughed.

"Welcome... to the spin-off hell."

OoOoOo

My first attempt of crack! BTW this is going to be a series because why not.
