The next day, inside a train…

Ann is staring out the window at the passing tunnel scenery from inside the train with the other passengers before she heard them talking about Shido and Junko.

"I've actually been paying attention to the news lately! Aren't you proud of me?" said a uniformed girlfriend to her boyfriend.

"Don't you leave it on hoping that you're see another news story from Sakurai? Well, not amithat I blame you-she's a fine journalist. I think Masayoshi Shido is even more amazing though. He's the first politician I've ever believed in." said the trendy boyfriend to his uniformed girlfriend.

"Oh, I know Shido-san too! Sounds like he really wants to improve the country!" said the uniformed girlfriend happily to her trendy boyfriend.

"Can't they see they're being lied to? We've to do something!" said Ann with an annoy look on her face at the gossiping couple.

Meanwhile, inside an apartment…

"Thanks for the breakfast and I'll be going to school now, Takuto nii-san." said Akira thankfully and blandly to his older half-brother named Doctor Takuto Maruki (a slightly tan-skinned, short unkempt dark brown-haired, brown-eyed bespectacled tall man wearing a long sleeve white-ribbed sweater over a short sleeve dark blue dress shirt with a long sleeve light brown open jacket over it, long dark blue jeans and tan shoes with laces on them on his feet) as he stood up from his seat after he had his breakfast.

"You're welcome and… I hope that you'll be able to…" said Doctor Maruki sadly and gently to Akira about his still captive girlfriend Mallory Caelum.

"I know." said Akira as he slowly nodded at Doctor Maruki before he turned and left the dining room, grab his school bag and left the apartment and went to the subway station to take the train ride to Shujin.

Meanwhile, inside an attic room in Leblanc…

After Keiko (and Morgana) woke up, tidy up her futon, pillow and blanket and do her usual morning routine of bathing and putting on her clothes before she and Morgana sat down on the couch, Keiko heard and felt her phone vibrating with messages and Keiko take out her phone to see it.

SO: It's not true that the Phantom Thieves's leader died, right!?

KA: Yeah, it's not and don't worry, I'm fine, Shinya-kun.

SO: Thank goodness! There's no way the Phantom Thieves could be defeated! Man, it's such a relief to hear that you're alright and that things are OK. Well, if you need anything, I'll be at the arcade, big sis Keiko.

After Keiko's done in messaging with Shinya on her phone, she turned off and put her phone back into her blazer right pocket, pick up Morgana and went downstairs to meet and greet Sojiro (who greeted back to her and Morgana) before Keiko sat down and began eating the usual curry breakfast that Sojiro cook and prepare for and halfway through her curry breakfast, Keiko heard and felt her phone vibrating with another message and she stop eating and take out her phone to see the new messages.

TY: The Phantom Thieves have been on the news recently, so… I was wondering how you're doing. Are you going to give up without accomplishing your goal?

KA: I'm fine and of course I'm not giving up, Toranosuke-san.

TY: So you're okay, that's a relief. I'm expecting great things from the Phantom Thieves. If you need anything, I'm happy to help, miss Amamiya.

KA: Thanks, Toranosuke-san.

"It feels pretty weird seeing you around on a weekday and without your friend too… You're taking off tonight to meet your boyfriend and friends, right?" asked Sojiro.

"Yes, I am." replied Keiko as she nodded at Sojiro.

"Sheesh, you're suck a risk-taken… Listen, make sure nobody notices you, okay?" said Sojiro concernly to Keiko.

"Yeah, I'll be careful, Sojiro-san." said Keiko as she nodded at Sojiro while turning off and putting her phone back into her jacket pocket.

"We've to do something about the keyword this time, Madame Keiko…" said Morgana.

"Yeah, I know, Morgana." said Keiko as she glance and nodded at Morgana before she resumed eating her plate of curry.

Meanwhile, in Inokashira Park…

Mallory/Lythalia is currently crouching down to stared and healed some of the wilted flowers on the ground before a rude-looking business man suddenly walk past Mallory/Lythalia and step on and flatten the flowers, which pissed Mallory/Lythalia off before she stood up to confront and argued at the business man for what he did to the flowers, which the business man snorted and dismiss the matter aside and pissed Mallory/Lythalia even more at the business man before she use her power to transform a nearby bush into a huge yellow carnivorous plant that open it's mouth to shot out and wrap it's green tentacles around the business man arms, waist and legs, swiftly yank the business man into it's mouth before it close it's mouth around the business man and began eating and swallowing the business man (who screamed out loud in fear, pain and agony as he was chewed and crushed to a mushy and bloody pulp inside the plant's mouth) while Mallory/Lythalia watched the gory scene with a sadistic look on her face.
