"So, do I sit here?"
"Yes. Make yourself comfortable."

"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"*sigh* I'm not going to beat around the bush. Answer me, do you know who the Phantom Thieves are?"
"W-what are you saying? There is no way that anyone let alone I knew who the Phantom Thieves are. It is a very mysterious group."
"I know you're lying."
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you do. You do that hair twirling when you lie."
"Oh, sorry."
"And besides, I have my suspicions on some of them. I just need your statement to confirm it."
"Why do you want to know about the identities of the Phantom Thieves?"
"Who wouldn't want to uncover the mystery of the Phantom Thieves? It is one of the sought out answers in today's society. Them stealing people's hearts goes beyond any logic and comprehension."
"And what will you do with the information? Feature it on the school newspaper? I know you want to promote the Newspaper Club but I don't think this is a good idea."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know them personally. But I know that they are afraid and careful right now. I mean, I don't fully agree with their methods but I know they're doing what they think is right. They may be Phantom Thieves but they are still teenagers like us. Leaking their identities would have a great impact on them not just on their lives but how the society views them."
"..."
"So please, don't do it."
"..."
"..."
"Here."
"Why are you giving me your phone and notebook?"
"To prove it to you that I am not recording this. This is just between you and me. In truth, I do have my doubts that they are the one behind the recent events. I cannot talk about it freely knowing their reputation nowadays so it is nice to finally have someone to talk to about it."
"Alright, I believe you. You are my friend, after all."
"So Ruri-chan, how did you know who the Phantom Thieves are?"
"Well Maho-chan, it might be best to start from the beginning."
