This is going to take place right after the True Ending of the game, but there's going to be one change- Akira Kurusu (The Protagonist, the name is from the Anime) doesn't leave and instead stays for his 3rd year at Shujin Academy.
Setting:
The Metaverse is gone and everyone in the Phantom Thieves of Hearts lost their ability to use a Persona... For now.
Contrary to how the game works, the Social stats aren't going to change. Since the protagonist is essentially a blank slate for the player I've decided to base his personality off of these stats instead of make him some kind of 5 star superman.

Sae Niijima let out a sigh and placed her clipboard down onto her desk. She was currently sitting in her office reviewing the information that the Meta-Bureau knew about. Its been about two months since Akira was let out of juvy and just like she promised Him- she made sure that their everyday lives would be untouched by their Phantom Thieves days. However there were some issues that had to be accounted for.
Even though it would never hold in a court of law, information about the Metaverse came to light. All of Shido Masayoshis assistants and close allies knew about it and certain precautions had to be made. There was a new department created in secret, called the Meta-Bureau. It was simply a group assigned to research the existence of the Metaverse. Though it was gone, now that the idea that such a place could exist- certain past cases and crimes could be explained. Due to Sae having the most experience in the subject she was assigned a leading position in the Meta-Bureau. She would look into past unnatural cases and after weeks of research decide if signs of the Metaverse were there. It was actually very tedious and extremely hard to come to a solid conclusion in most cases.
Though things began to shake up recently.
The research done by Isshiki Wakaba, Futabas mother, was believed to be lost. And it was. However Shido Masayoshis scientists were able to absorb much of the information before getting rid of it. When Shido confessed his crimes and his inner circle came to light, all of the advances in the Psyentific field were taken by police and now are used by the Meta-Bureau. They had medicine that could effect ones mind, research on 'shadows' and 'personas' that were considered confidential to anyone but the higher ups. There were even machines that could find highly active spots in the Metaverse. Though they usually just collected dust due to the Metaverse itself had its 'Heart Stolen'.
But just a week ago, it caught something. It was thought to just be a error or something else but ever since then the machines would find... 'Something' almost daily. It was stressful for Sae. She promised the kids that they'll be able to live their lives normally and that she'd handle all this dirty work, but here she was not even knowing what was happening.
"Tch" Sae scoffed and spun her desk chair to the side and stood up. Biting her thumb nail with a grim expression on her face she began to consider her options. "I can't ask the kids for help... No matter what they can't get involved in this kind of stuff again..." But she was against a wall here and needed something to break through it. Even if it was just information it would help greatly. Just then she remembered something useful. "The cat... Morgana." She looked down at her desk to see Morgana was labeled as 'Deceased'. That was a lie. Though she wasn't too proud of it, Sae purposefully made sure that the Meta-Bureau thought the cat was dead. She did so to protect him from... Certain scientists and the like. "If I can get information from Morgana then maybe..." she let out another sigh and shook her head. "I can't understand him though, plus it would be tough to get him when he's around Akira most of the time..." Sae stood there and tried to think of another way but came up with nothing more. She simply slumped her shoulders down and started walking towards her office door. "I can't believe I'm about to try and talk to a cat..."
