Day # 88 – July 7/6th – Wednesday
More waiting to be going on and the young shogi player Hifumi Togo to be good at it from the students talk to each other at Shujin Academy for lots of rumors to be going around, for Keiko and Morgana to hear about her to see more of Hifumi later for Keiko Amamiya to be doing real soon...Once school was over, Keiko goes out to see Ann to do stuff while chatting about things like girl friends do at the Shibuya Underground Shopping Mall to then eating at the Shibuya's Wilton Buffet.
Morgana: Good food here as always.
Ann: You said it, Morgana. Let just not overdo it on ourselves, Keiko. We girls got to stay fit, no matter how good the food is.
For the two girls there they will and Morgana knows of his limit. You know that Keiko will now ask Ann about how she'll tell Ryuji on how he feels about her.
Keiko: I'll be careful...Hey, Ann, tell me. How will you tell Ryuji that you love him? If you don't mind me asking you...
Ann: Me...? Ah, well...I'm not so sure. Maybe when you come with me with Ryuji to see Shiho when she finally gets out of the hospital, then we can talk to talk to him like we always do, and I'll try to say it.
Keiko: Hey, you can say it, Ann. I know you can do it. You just have to admit it well from the bottom of your heart. It'll guide your love. It does for me with Akechi-Cun to end up in love for one another...
It was a plan that cannot fail for Ann to trust in Keiko's words to make it all happen soon enough.
Ann: I never thought about it too much, until I think about it a bit more...Yeah, I can try that. And you'll be there for me, right Keiko?
Keiko: That's what friends are for. Anyways, after we eat this nice meal...let's have this special pudding.
From dinner and desert to share the last sweet together with two spoon.
Ann: Aw, Keiko, you're the best. We'll share this for me to still watch weight. As well as fight on as Phantom Thieves
Keiko: That's right. (Ann, you're cool. A very good friend of the first girl that I've made since I came here. So let's make more of it count.)
A nice night to return back to the Cafe Leblanc place on a rainy day it was for Keiko and Morgana to see Sojiro running the place again, while Keiko cleans up for a bit...to then helping out Kawa once again as Becky to some costumers to go to to get money, and for Keiko to pay up, and then she gives her student/friend the other half. While Kawa/Becky has a break, she had to tell Keiko to truth about her second job that wasn't about paying for her sister's medical bills.
Kawa: Another job well done. But still, Keiko, I have to come clean...The story about my sick sister to pay the hospital bills for is a lie. To be use for money while we're working together, you're only being used. And yet you still want to request me?
Keiko: (Figures she would confess to me.) I kind of knew. Please don't ask me how, Becky, I just have a strange feeling about these type of things. And why I ask for you to come over since I help you out, well...it's because
Now the teacher knows of her student/friend is good to understanding Kawa a lot more.
Kawa: Well, I guess I'm thankful, but still...You're a strange girl. You're the complete opposite of me...Okay, Keiko, I'll tell you the real reason. Please let me sit down.
The teacher/maid of Keiko's sits next to her a girl talk to hear the real truth of Kawa's reasoning for Keiko and Morgana to hear.
Keiko: Just tell me what's on your mind, Becky.
Saying the nickname, Keiko hears Kawa out.
Kawa: The money is actually...An "apology".
Keiko: A apology for what...?
What this teacher/maid says next to one of his student/co-worker who's young about Kawa's past on one costumer master that something bad happened to him a while back...
Kawa: There was a student named Takase at the school I taught before Shujin. Takase-kun was considered a problem child, since he had the lowest grades and skipped school a lot. So I was put in charge of guiding him...or rather, pushing him to transfer to another school. But when I got to know him, I realized that he wasn't a problem child after all...In fact, he was working several part-time jobs just so he could cover his living expenses. His relatives took him in when his parents died, so he had to make money to support himself. He couldn't attend school every day, but he was motivated to study. That's why I decided to tutor him. After I started working with him, his grades started to improve, slowly but surely. But I was told that it was wrong to only help certain students and not others...Then a strange rumor about him being a juvenile delinquent began to circulate. And on top of that, I got called into the principal's office...He threatened me...saying that I'd be dismissed if I continued to tutor Takase-kun.
And that's the story, sad huh?
Morgana: (No wonder why she's so miserable...)
Keiko: How awful...I'm sorry, Becky.
A very sad one for Kawa to go through so much crap because of it from one student's life to end suddenly.
Kawa: Yeah...But you can say the same about me. I got scared...of losing my job, and of having rumors spread about me. So...I canceled our upcoming tutoring sessions...Takase-kun was on his way to one of his part-time jobs when I told him...Out of all days, it was New Year's Eve, and it had been pouring rain all day...And...he died in a car crash.
Yep, and here's how the rest of the boy's fate went through there.
Keiko: (She's telling me about the sad fate ended of this Takase person...Oh, no.)
Kawa: He sounded so depressed when I was told him that I couldn't tutor him anymore...But then he said that it was no big deal because he had to work anyway, so I wouldn't feel bad. If only I kept my promise to him...
Keiko: Hey, it wasn't you or his fault. It was no one's fault.
Kawa: Takase-kun was exhausted from the tutoring sessions and working at all his part time jobs...His guardians blamed me for the accident, saying it was all my fault that he was so tired...They said that they were going to sue me and take the issue to the media and Board of Education. I wouldn't have been accused of a crime, but if word had gotten out, the school would've been done for...I wanted to continue teaching, no matter what. So I ended up paying them the "apology" money so they wouldn't sue me or say anything.
So that's why Kawa has to do this, a whole lot to be bad for Keiko felt sorry.
Keiko: Those two are very rude to make you do all of this work...! Some guardians they are...And you're OK by doing all of this?
Doesn't seem like it to her...
Kawa: It was my indecisiveness that backed him into a corner, and I blame myself every day. I know paying them isn't going to bring him back, but it's the only way I can atone for my sins. It seems like his guardians are satisfied with our arrangement, so...See? Nothing good ever comes from getting involved with me. I have to keep my distance to avoid hurting others, so I don't meddle in my students' lives. Even for you too, Keiko. I've been coming here because pf a random twist of fate, but we should say goodbye as well.
Call it quits to let Keiko go and for Kawa to no bother with her other than school to skip it at times...? Really?
Keiko: But wait! Becky...! I want to still help you out, this isn't goodbye.
Kawa: Keiko...You're one of those types to be helping out others to never give up on, are you? Haha...I guess we're in this together to make more money as a team both you and I, now that I told you the whole story, right? ...Yeah.
Keiko: Yeah, I'll help you get through this somehow, Becky. (And more to change the two people of their hearts later.)
That will take some time to do, but it will happen for Keiko and the others to take care of.
Kawa: I'll see what I can do about the other teachers so you get free periods with them, too...I look forward to continuing our relationship as co-workers.
Keiko: I will help you get through this, Becky. (I feel like my friendship with Ms. Kawakami has deepened...)
With a lot more to fix for Kawa, Keiko will make it happen to never do something like this again.
Kawa: All righty, time to clean. I'm going to put more energy into it than usual today! So you just relax, Keiko, and leave the rest to me.
From feeling happy and cheerful, Kawa starts to cough a lot to be so dusty sometimes in Keiko's room for her to dust the best she can.
Keiko: Sorry, I'm doing my best on the dusty part...
Kawa: Oh my, this room is so dusty! Even though I wipe the place squeaky clean every visit...Well, I guess it's all for your. I'll work hard to earn my keep! And some for you too, Keiko, we are in this together to help me out.
She does it fast like how Keiko worked in seconds to avoid the dust to not inhale so much...
Keiko: That's fast...! Like how I did it.
Kawa: Oh, uh, woooow! It's so dusty! If my cough is already this bad...Maybe we'd be better off tearing this place down than trying to clean it? Well, the shabbi – I mean, chicness of this room is truly its charm, so let's keep it as-is!
Keiko: You got it!
Kawa: All right, I have to go. I'll be eagerly awaiting for your help in my next request to serve the other men, Keiko!
Saying that in the sweet thought for Kawa to trust in Keiko, things will have to be changed for this teacher/maid for the better later on. For Keiko and Morgana rest for a new day to happen the next morning once the sun rises...
Year 20xx
Day # 89 – July 7/7th – Thursday
Another day down to head to the train to get the school for Keiko and Morgana, for it was still a hot Summer to feel out, even for Makoto to see her friend to take the same train with her.
Morgana: It's Makoto.
The two see her...
Keiko: Hi, Makoto.
Makoto: Good morning, Keiko. Man, it's hot today...Also Kaneshiro's line is drawing near and we still have to wait and see what happens next for the rest of us. But it'll all work out.
That it will, for the two girls headed to school together and to their own classrooms for Keiko to do well once again in Kawa's class. Smart and well studying a lot...Kawa seems to be feeling fine after talking with her student/friend from last night, to pull through this mess on Kawa somehow. Once school was over for today, Keiko goes to see how Yusuke was doing to see him around the Shibuya Station Underground Walkway to go on a boat together in the lake of the Inokashira Park.
Morgana: Rowing on a boat in a nice park like this one...I like it.
Nice water, beautiful day to do it, other people doing the same thing, Morgana relaxes, and for Keiko and Yusuke to be on the same boat as well just hanging out with each other.
Yusuke: Ms. Keiko, I really want to thank you for coming here with me today. To ease my mind on other things from my art work.
Keiko: If that what makes you happy for me to support you, then that's good to hear, Yusuke. Aw, cute! Ducks!
Looking at the family of ducks were swimming around the lake for Keiko to see and to love the cuteness for Yusuke to sees the other cute from her to love a lot more.
Yusuke: Not as cute as you are, Ms. Keiko.
Keiko: Huh?
Yusuke: From the nice art work to do of people on another boat, others who are couple in love, the scene of the waters filled with life, and so much to hang out with the friend I love very much...Like you.
Still on that, huh? Oh, boy...So much so as Yusuke lies on top of Keiko to show that he means well for her 'without causing too much of a scene'.
Keiko: Hey! Yusuke...!
Morgana: Not this again!
Before causing some trouble, Keiko stops Morgana just in the nick of time...
Keiko: Wait, Morgana, I got this.
But why?
Morgana: But, Madame Keiko!
Yusuke: I'm sorry, Morgana, but you have to understand. I love Ms. Keiko so much who help me to be who I really am to see the truth right before my eyes. I wouldn't be part of the Phantom Thieves if it wasn't for her, you, Ann, Ryuji, and Makoto. But for you to love me a friend to not be in love with me but Akechi...I wish to know a few things, you will still care about me as a friend for me to see you as someone I truly care for?
Well, Keiko does love each of her friends to be with and will be in love with Akechi a while lot more.
Keiko: I meant every word, Yusuke, that'll never change between us.
Yusuke: Even if you love someone else for me to still love you a lot more? Will I ever find true love...?
Keiko: Hey, I know you will, Yusuke, I mean doing something like this won't do any good..
He gets off of Keiko to help her sit back up.
Yusuke: Sorry! Again, you know I would never hurt you.
After that little event, Keiko places her hand on Yusuke's face to make him feel a bit better.
Keiko: Don't worry about it, I know. If you ever want to come here to do some art work on a boat, then we'll do it. Morgana and I can help you out draw...Ducks, the land, water, fishes, other people on boats, and couples ones who are in love...Not this one, they're brother and sister.
Point taken for Yusuke to remember to still have feelings for Keiko and still care for her as a dear friend like Ryuji does, for someone seems to care about her more than a friend already.
Morgana: Anything's better than forcing a woman on you...
Yusuke: Yes, I'll do just that. It's nice to talk things through at one another, Keiko. So much so it does make me feel a bit better. I'll try not to...
Keiko: Again, Yusuke, it's fine. Why don't we row this boat around some more while you keep drawing and then we'll get off.
A few more minutes for Yusuke to be done in a bit from his amazing skills.
Yusuke: Very well. I can add in a few more things from my art. And thanks, Ms. Keiko. Remember that we'll be friends, I'll always be there to protect you.
Keiko: A true friend you are, Yusuke.
Kissing him on the cheek a little has made Yusuke's day for Keiko to help a friend like him.
Yusuke: Such beauty she is...
After doing all of that, Keiko and Morgana go help out Chihaya on a few costumers to try changing their fates of fortune telling once again tonight; little by little from Chihaya's powers and Keiko's words does help out a lot to change some fates to be good ones little by little like the man who's nervous of getting married to a girl he likes. But it'll be fine to be ready very slowly to make a good change in the future.
Chihaya: Another path to be good and he didn't leave her. True love does everything like you and your Akechi, huh Keiko-Chan? I'm so happy for you...I hope that one day I'll find a man to love me one day.
Keiko: Thanks, Chihaya. And you will find a man who'll love you back, I just know it.
Another day done to go home and get some sleep for tomorrow...
Year 20xx
Day # 90 – July 7/8th – Friday
Reading a book on the way to school for Keiko and Morgana to do and getting more answers right in Mr. Hiruta's class...After school was over until Monday again, Keiko goes to help out Chihaya again for today for another costumer and to read her fortunes to be doing well.
Chihaya: Your luck's looking well, Keiko-Chan.
And then both Keiko and Morgana headed to read from the picnic area around town, studying too, and then uses the bath house for them to relax and get cleaned.
Keiko: Tomorrow's it, Morgana, I hope all goes well about Kaneshiro's change of heart to happen for us to hear about it.
Morgana: And we will, Madame Keiko. To soon find our next target afterwards. Just a little more time...
Only one way to find out in a bit tomorrow once they see and hear the news of Junya's confessions...Also more break downs have been happening a lot in the area for the cops to get to it and others to be seeing and hearing it all over the area, to only get worse for the two enemies to be behind it all, for Witch tries to do something, same thing with Jackie, and more...with Junko around to get something? Huh, it's not journalist related. What was going on with her? But other good news was this – the Phan-Site ratings were going way up to believe in from 35 something percent now to be very good and still going.
Year 20xx
Day # 91 – July 7/9th – Saturday
From people talking about Junya who has been caught by the cops and Akechi to be stopped 'by luck' to be going around on the train and others to be walking by the area from teenagers who are no longer paying for that man anymore. Well, what about the news other than have Junya's heart to change to confess? Sae gets the news to read it from her laptop while learning more about the Phantom Thieves.
Sae: No matter how hard they looked, even our organized-crime department couldn't catch Junya Kaneshiro...And yet he simply turned himself in-even confessed all his crimes...Naked! The Phantom Thieves...
From a flashback of Sae remembering Makoto saying about is it bad to manipulate people's hearts as a question...Sae says yes even to those who admit their evil deeds to change somehow for Makoto to as her older sister the next question about it. This has the lawyer herself to worry about it all for the Phantom Thieves has done some good.
Sae: I hope she hasn't fallen under their influence...
And she wasn't the only one, Akechi was starting to get the whole thing himself to learn more on the other night of them stopping someone 'being a Shadow'.
Akechi: The Phantom Thieves...Damn it!
And of course the same thing can be said about Junko to learn more about them from their latest updates since Junya's arrest.
Junko: Phantom Thieves...? Oooo, now this is a story I must learn more about...
OK? Weird...Since Usami's class from school yesterday for Keiko to do so well studying for to pass yesterday, it was break time to be something else on a Friday there. A nice way to make a through a nice day for everyone can finally gather at the hideout of theirs for Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, and Makoto meet up there in the late afternoon after hearing the news about Junya's heart has changed to be arrested for good. Another victory has been done.
Keiko: Well, you guys...we did it. Again!
Another victory for them!
Ryuji: Hell yeah! Kaneshiro finally confessed! People've been makin' a huge deal of it since the police announcement.
Yusuke: It's difficult to accept that the authorities are taking all of the credit for his arrest.
Keiko: Well, we just help out to bring people courage and hope. The cops owe a lot more on their work, but we make it big.
A huge difference between to two? Sounds like it...
Ann: People are going nuts about the Phantom Thieves online though. Look!
Lots to see on their cell phones with a little Jackie icon dancing with joy as well. All was good to make the Phantom Thieves a big hit.
Ryuji: It's all comin' together for us!
Yusuke: This is quite the turnaround. All of a sudden, people are expressing their long-standing belief in us.
And with many reasons why too thanks to Makoto herself.
Ann: So this is why Makoto told us to post the calling card anywhere that might stand out.
Ryuji: Pretty smart move on her part.
Keiko: And it worked! This is great!
This has Keiko all excited of this whole thing.
Morgana: Yep. I knew Kaneshiro's heart would change in no time, and it did. We rule, and he drools.
Just one thing, where was Makoto if she wasn't able to meet with the others to celebrate...?
Ryuji: Oh...where is our amazing Miss President?
Speaking of Makoto Nijima, a phone call was ringing for Keiko to listen in and put it on speaker phone for the others to hear being Queen herself to tells the others about something.
Makoto: Hello? It's Makoto. My apologies, but I won't be able to join with you guys today. I've been called into a meeting with the principal. There's no need to worry though. More importantly, there is a special on TV about the Phantom Thieves!
More and ore good news! Besides Makoto dealing with Koba in a bit on her own 'to be done', the show talking about the Phantom Thieves could be something else to hear about next.
Keiko: There was...?
Ann: Huh? What did it say?!
Makoto: They were talking about our calling cards.
From Makoto herself that helped them out with everything on their third target.
Ann: For real?!
Makoto: Anyway, my apologies about today. I'll have to see you all another time.
Afterwards, Makoto hangs up to take care of other business alone to be tough this time. You go, girl!
Yusuke: Who was that?
For Ann and Keiko to hear the news – Keiko then tells the three boys about it on what Makoto told them.
Ryuji: Really?! That's freakin' crazy!
Yusuke: I hope all this excitement doesn't place us on the police's radar.
Not unless they're very careful about it all...
Ryuji: It'll be fine! No way they'd find out about that weirdo other world!
Yusuke: True, but...Do you remember what the fake Kaneshiro said towards the end?
How can any of them forget about that part? Two enemies of a fallen god who's in love with Keiko to haunt her and Akechi's dreams with Queen Lilith and the Fallen One, and another one saying of a user like them causing people's break downs.
Keiko: From enemies and another user in the Metaverse world...I clearly remember, Yusuke.
They all do.
Ann: Yeah, he did said we're not the only ones who are doing it...
Ryuji: Eh, not gonna let it bother me. Far as we know, he was just pullin' that shit out of his ass...Besides the two monsters in your dreams, Keiko...! I know you're telling the truth about it and Akechi for some damn reason to be dreaming the same you're dreaming. That shit doesn't make any sense.
Keiko: He was just born differently like me to have something we both got.
That still needs to be solved soon enough.
Morgana: Still, we'll be ready for it when it happens again. And the more Keiko sees and helps you guys and other she helps out, the stronger you'll all get like Ryuji has surprisingly. From power upgrades, attacks, and your Personas to be their selves still with new looks as well for the stones to give us the boost to wear around your necks, so use them well.
At least that part covers it for the others will get their as Keiko will have hers done and so on.
Keiko: That's one part solved so far. Thanks for that, Morgana.
Yusuke: I hope that other part's the case...
Ryuji: Anyways, in your face, Akechi!
He was only playing around to prove one thing right for Keiko to understand for her boyfriend to get more and more.
Keiko: Okay, Ryuji, he gets it. Be nice.
Ryuji: I am...Now whaddya wanna do about our next target?!
One thing at a time first...Remember, first to relax to then be alerted for more to do next time when they know when and where at.
Ann: Don't get ahead of yourself. Still, people might expect a lot from our next move considering how excited they're getting.
Ryuji: We can't just pick any old schmo now.
Keiko: We'll know who'll be when the time's right. (And we'll be ready for them to find out on other things while we're at it.)
And there will be one again for them sooner than any of them think so.
Yusuke: There is no need to hurry though. Counting Kamoshida, we've claimed three consecutive victories, right? We should just lay low and wait for all this excitement to blow over.
Good move there, and we all know what happens next with another job has been done, right...?
Ann: In that case, how about we have another celebration?
Ryuji: Good idea! We can make it a welcomin' party for Miss President too. By the way, that briefcase? It's pretty damn expensive! Let's sell it and drop the cash on our party!
A fun idea to do and for them to have fun besides not laying low on some of the people.
Morgana: Wow...Seems like the "lay low and wait" idea has gone completely out the window.
Keiko: It just something to do for fun is all.
Nothing bad about it...
Ann: So we can count you out then, Morgana?
They were only playing around with Morgana there, he's still in.
Morgana: Uh, what are you talking about? I was just saying we should try and keep our party on the down low.
Ann: Hahaha, that's the spirit. Well, I'm gonna let Makoto know!
She calls Makoto to say something to her real quick on her phone this time.
Keiko: This is going to be fun for all of us.
Ann: ...Hi, Makoto? There's something we forgot to tell you! So-Oh...
Something happen to make Ann make an odd sound.
Yusuke: What's wrong?
Yeah, there's something going on with another school finals to be happening for Makoto to let Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann to be ready to study for it soon 'except for Yusuke' for she reminds the three and herself to be ready for to leave this message for them to hear 'on speaker phone again'.
Makoto: Hello? I hope you remember we have finals next week. Yusuke and Morgana excluded of course. If you wish not to stand out, you had best not get bad grades, OK? That is something I simply would not be able to overlook as student council president! For now, behave and concentrate on your studies. We can have fun once finals are over...Understood?
So...First they do the thing tomorrow then they can study? Knowing Makoto to remind people on these things who go to the same school as her, has to get it over and done with slowly.
Ryuji: Urrrrgh...
Keiko: Hey, hey. It's fine. Let's hang out to do it once the briefcase is sold for the money to use the stuff carefully, study for finals, and then hang out a lot more. We'll be fine, you guys. Makoto's making sure we still pass school and such.
And she's right, they will too. Back at the school for Makoto to finish with a few things to promise to go see Koba in his office to hear why she wasn't telling him about her new friends anymore. She was done with this principal.
Koba: Care to explain?
Makoto: I believe in what I wrote... "The Phantom Thieves are just."
Koba: Have you figured out who they are?
Like she'll be working with the likes of this guys ever again after today.
Makoto: No, I'm nowhere close. However, after considering all the facts. I concluded there are no errors in their acts or principles. Thus, upon deeming them to be on the side of justice, I have decided to end my investigation.
Since she was one of them as Queen.
Koba: But that's impossible!
Makoto: Impossible? May I see the evidence you have that leads you to believe so?
Koba: I was speaking to the director of a prestigious college about your letter of commendation too...
Not this time, loser! For you see...Makoto already had one to set up with Sae's help to go to long ago.
Makoto: There will be no need for that. I intend on getting into a good college by my own merit. Please excuse me.
She bows to the principal and leaves his office.
Koba: Hey, we're not done here!
But Makoto was, for Koba let out a big sigh after she leaves the room to be a lot more on his mind to know more of the Phantom Thieves. He then calls up a certain someone he knows of to tell this guy the bad news.
Koba: Sir, it's me. I apologize for bothering you like this...About that...Yes, I am making progress. However, I have stumbled upon some difficulties...Still, why would someone as important as you be interested in a petty case like this...? N-No! That's not what I meant...! I will investigate with all the resources available to me. Of course! Um, I should be able to let you know relatively soon. Yes, I will bring good news...Well then, thank you for your-
The person then hangs up on Koba to look worry to be doing all of this.
Koba: Dammit...
He's in trouble now besides to keep on going...As night falls for Makoto watches TV back at her place on Junya's arrest on the news for Sae to return from work today; to see and tell about Junya's arrest to have the older sister to be confused to not have things to change to still keep up Makoto's school work, and for the little sister to worry more about Sae who has changed a lot. For this woman wants to keep on going, and Makoto wants to find a place where she really belongs with and that's with the Phantom Thieves group. Later back the Cafe Leblanc for Keiko finishes cleaning up and getting some money from Kawa 'as Becky' for them doing a fine job today...
Kawa: See you next time, Keiko friend.
Being another person in that maid outfit of her to be cheerful and working hard, it was some day that was and for Sojiro to close up the place until the next day.
Sojiro: Night, Keiko.
Once he leaves next, Keiko and Morgana hang out for a bit to look happy on another job well done until next time to make another move.
Morgana: Man, what a good day this turn out to be, huh Madame Keiko? It just makes you want to dance and sing...Huh? Madame Keiko? What are you doing...?
Feeling bored, Keiko gets her cell phone to record something to dress up, have lights on, a radio on to play a certain type of music, and for her to sing with a microphone to give it her all to just let all out for the fun of it.
Keiko: It's show time...
Morgana: Wait...Are you going to sing?
That she was from the famous song from Shoji Meguro from this video game, it's - Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There. And here's the lyrics of it.
Keiko 'singing': Who am I?
Am I not unique?
Maybe I'm not here at all
Look, the fakers
Blinding us with lies
The breakers of us all
Oh, it's useless
What could it mean that we're here?
Can we make a difference
If we don't break outta here?
Wake up, get up, get out there
Raise your voice against liars
Feed your anger like fire
Why does nobody want change?
Just imagine you're out there
Swatting lies in the making
Can't move fast without breaking
If you hold on life won't change
The fakers
Are all sick at heart
Their faces hiding their fear
They look down on
All the rest of us
Like they're some special breed
Who's the high lord
Who thinks he's better than us?
Ain't it a crime, that?
Is there a mission for us?
Who is that high lord ...
Who'd kill a million of us?
And as the bell tolls
Is there no remission for us?
Wake up, get up, get out there
There's more to life than their way
If you'd live you can not stay
Why does nobody want change?
Let your voices ring out, yeah
Take the mask off and be free
Find yourself in the debris
If you hold on life won't change
Wake up, get up, get out there
Raise your voice against liars
Feed your anger like fire
Why does nobody want change?
Just imagine you're out there
Swatting lies in the making
Can't move fast without breaking
If you hold on life won't change
From such a good singing voice that Keiko had on her journey so far to have friends, others to aid, a Persona friend, the mysterious Morgana to help out, true love with Akechi, her powers to use for good, the Phantom Thieves themselves and her as leader, and changing the world with their help from the Metaverse world. Doing so much more to cleaning, doing part time jobs, getting good people on the right path, stopping Shadows, and so on...Lots to be going on to have other guys to hit on her too, so much to take in.
Morgana: Ah...What was that all about? Madame Keiko...
Keiko: Ah...Oh, you were watching me, Morgana...? I...Did it for fun? (I don't know why I did it...)
And later to get clean up and head to bed next for the two to sleep well and Keiko the most to call up Akechi to be doing fine to seeing her later to visit again and such while also helping her study a lot, and...another part to going back to the present day happens again for Sae to hear more from Keiko on what she tries to remember her past more and more...But this time, another slot was open with this lawyer to have next of Confidant.
Sae: Don't be ridiculous! This new ally you gained was Makoto?! Just tell me the truth!
Feeling weak, tired, drugged up, and trying to speak for the weak Keiko to explain herself to Sae. For her little sister was part of the Phantom Thieves for her to not know about until right now to learn more about all of this.
Keiko: I told you the truth...You already knew it yourself.
Sae: Makoto...That's preposterous. If what you're saying is true, Keiko...Was Makoto also running from the police when you were arrested...?!
Keiko: Ask her yourself, I...can feel her...she escaped...that's all I can tell you right now so far...
She wasn't lying either.
Sae: Now that I think about it...she did start talking a lot about the investigation from summer onward...Makoto aside, you mentioned one other important detail. Did Kaneshiro really say they was someone using the Metaverse besides the Phantom Thieves? Even two monsters to hurt you and Goro Akechi, the man you love for one of them is in love...? So there's three with this other one like the rest of you works solo name Witch who's aiding all of you and this Persona creature name Jackie the Jack Frost to find its human host with no other details that those things. So is it all true?
Keiko: It is, Sae...
Sae: Those words could jut be taken as you shifting blame to this other person, or persons, you know.
All is being true for Keiko to say to Sae. She maybe shy and brave to do other dangerous things to aid others, but she wasn't a liar.
Keiko: It's all true.
Sae: ….But why would you fabricate such an elaborate story and then shift the blame elsewhere...? There are two possibilities: either you, Keiko, have simply been trying to confuse me with your lies...Or everything you've stated is true. Have you been telling me the truth from the very start...?
All of it was all true...For Keiko to tell Sae about everything so far to keep on going.
Keiko: I have no reason to lie to you ever...
Sae: Does that mean you're placing your trust in me? …
Keiko: All of it.
She meant every word...
Sae: ...Then again, I am investigating a "thief who steals hearts." Very well. No matter how absurd it may seem, I'll reevaluate my stance on believing you for now. In return, speak the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's a fair deal. ...Is that acceptable? It's a fair deal...Is that acceptable?
They shake on it for Keiko takes it easy for her to go with her words with Sae's to keep on telling the whole truth still.
Keiko: You have my word, Sae... (And I've made a deal with Makoto's older sister and who's one of the top lawyers in Japan, Sae Nijima.)
Now during the talk, Keiko's last slot of Confident happens 'for you'll know of the other ones in a while'...
I am thou, thou art I...Thou hast acquired a new vow.
It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the birth of the Judgement Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...
Tayla: Judgement Arcana #15 - Sae Nijima
The Judgement Arcana, in tarot, is associated with realizing one's calling, gaining a deep understanding of life and a feeling of acceptance and absolution. In game play, the Judgement Arcana is commonly associated with a balance of Light and Darkness. Figures of the Judgment Arcana are usually related to Judgment Day myths or are gods tied directly to the judgment of humankind. Characters of the Judgement Arcana are well-aware, quite intelligent and view the world with infinite possibilities. Most powerful when combining their intuition with their smarts, their thought process is among the most vast and realistic. It is often associated with reborn organizations of Persona users that were being given new objectives or other characters associated with turning points of the game.
Although the traditional British spelling of "judgment" is considered less common than the American spelling of "judgment" today, "Judgement" (capitalized as a proper name) is exclusively applied while referencing the tarot arcana.
Now we continue on with the story, for Sae gets to tell Keiko about the next target of theirs. Well, this one target at them first...Showing Keiko a green card to have no identity or pictures of it for Sae to find for this one was lost and scared for Keiko and the others to help out for this person was in danger to have this person's heart change because it wanted them to do it.
Sae: We're running out of time. Let's move on to your next target...I stand corrected. It was they who targeted your group first, wasn't it? The identity of your opponent...is this. We have no pictures. Even their names and identities are unknown. If what you told me is true, then this "Nav" thing you've mentioned wouldn't have worked in this case. How did you target them, Keiko? Tell me everything.
Sae hears Keiko out to tell her all about this special one for Witch was almost killed in this type of Metaverse Palace of a good Shadow there. Going back to the past to hear the rest as Keiko and Morgana both sleep away...
Year 20xx
Day # 92 – July 7/10th – Sunday
With a lot of good things to be going around the next morning, for good news was told all over the streets of town to talk about the Phantom Thieves a lot. So much so for others to love their work...With Keiko getting up to eating her breakfast and helping out Sojiro in the kitchen while working on a weekend since she and her friends will hang out later.
Sojiro: Make sure you check the fridge for me when you're cooking with the food, Keiko. I need to work more on the coffee.
She was on it right away to be really good.
Keiko: Yeah, I just need to make sure this doesn't over cook first, Mr. Sakura. I'll get right to it in a second!
While that was going on, Sojiro gets another call from someone he really cares for to be a problem with a printer this person didn't wanted...Weird...But Sojiro helps this person out to leave the store for a bit to leave Keiko in charge for the time being.
Sojiro: Say, Keiko, I need to run out for a bit. I counting on you to run the store for me. You got it?
Keiko: You got it. I know how to do the rest. Leave it to me.
Sojiro: I'm counting on you. Thanks a bunch.
He leaves for Keiko takes care of the place without any trouble...As she hears the elderly couple see the TV news about Junya's arrest and about the people seeing the Phantom Thieves, some love them a lot and others do not, and some...not much to not hate them in the whole world type of thing. For they see how good the Phantom Thieves do for the couples to be fine with it 'nice costumers to come around the Cafe Leblanc a lot'. So, yeah. Another good comment there as Keiko takes care of the rest all day until closing time to celebrate with her friends in a bit. Elsewhere...the SIU Director was still on to the Phantom Thieves to tell a certain person who was on the phone, to try to put an end to them soon enough some how. Hearing about the Metaverse, Junya being stopped, and such for this guy's behind it all so far; to come up with another dirty idea to set up with some help on other enemies to have something to do with Witch's human younger sister.
SIU Director: We'll set things up so that those mental shutdowns occurrences are their doing...Ah, I thought as much. I had a feeling that it was too brutal for it to be his own idea. Still, to think you'd go through such elaborate detail to crush them...Their actions must be that much of an eyesore for you. I sympathize with what you're going through. Well then, we'll clean this up quickly and put it behind us. Yes. A grand undertaking like social reform is beyond a group such as the Phantom Thieves. Only a few people are entitled to change the world...like you "future" Prime Minister.
Shido, huh? So that's who SIU Director was talking with, for this guy to be up to no good to do something with a few help of two more enemies who were working for him.
Shido: You, get to your lover to do whatever. Anyone else in the Phantom Thieves and anyone else who are standing in the way, destroy them. And you...Care to use your Shadow to test something out on the people for me? Just for a little test run for me.
It would seem that Shido was talking to do the Fallen God 'or the Fallen One' to make his move on Keiko again to hurt Akechi again and the others...as well as Lilith Queen to take female human form to be smiling in the evil way 'to take form in the real world and out of the Metaverse on what she really looks like', was ready to make a scene to watch the show from there...along with Jackie and Witch to try to do something about those two 'to be in disguise to hide their true forms in hoodies they're both wearing'. What will happen next besides Keiko and the others having a party to celebrate in a bit?
