[Evening, Kirijo Group]

Kirijo Mitsuru was checking the different contracts and documents when her phone suddenly buzzed. Raising an eye in confusion, she took it out and checked who's calling. "Yamagishi? Why calling all so sudden?"

"Mitsuru-Senpai..." Yamagishi said through the phone, clearly worried and afraid. "Juno just picked up some mysterious presence in Tokyo... And it's similar to how Minato was..."

Widening her eyes in shock, The owner of Kirijo Group couldn't help but shiver. "P-please, don't tell me it's Akira..."

"I don't want it to be true either..." Yamagishi sighed, taking a long while before continuing. "That presence isn't like how Minato and Narukami were... It felt like Nyx all over again."

"That means... it's really him," Clutching the phone in her hand, Mitsuru leaned over to her desk and pinched her nosebridge. "I'll call everyone tomorrow. We can't just sit here and let it happen on its own."

"But... The Shadow Operative wasn't active because of... you know, him."

"The police did force us to be inactive, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything under their nose," She replied, opening a folder called 'SO members' on her laptop. "I have someone neither the police nor Shido was aware of."

"You mean... someone who wasn't disclosed as a member of Shadow Operative?"

"Indeed," Mitsuru nodded. "I only have one name here that they don't know..."

"You're talking about Kamisaki, right?" Yamagishi asked.

"Yes," She nodded again, letting out a heavy sigh. "And we can only rely on him right now..."

[April 15th, morning]

Akira didn't have a great sleep, or any sleep at all. After the whole event with Kamoshida and Shiho, he just kept worrying about Shiho. 'I can save her from Kamoshida, but I can't keep doing this...' He thought bitterly.

Noting the approaching school gate, Akira put down his headphones and overheard two student's conversations.

"I can't believe Suzui-senpai missed such an important meeting. I wonder what happened."

"Mr. Kamoshida asked to see her. I've heard rumors about how the two of them stay late together..."

"Wait, I heard rumors that Ichijo did something to Kamoshida yesterday..."

"Just as usual, huh?" Sighing, Akira decided to put on his headphones again. Maybe he should buy an earbud so that he could listen to music in a lesson too...

The day went on as usual, with boring classes after boring classes. However, just as Mr. Ushimaru's lesson was about to begin, Akira suddenly stood up from his seat and ran out of the classroom.

Even though Ren was confused at his unusual behavior, he decided to let it go and continued in his day.

Until something suddenly moved in his drawer, startling him.

"Have you made up your mind?" It was Morgana, who was still in his 'cat' form. "No matter how much thinking you do, there's only one option. You'd be better off just listening to me."

Hastily glancing around to make sure that no one was looking at his direction, Ren stared at the 'Cat' with a furrowed brow. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Hm?" Before Morgana could give his answer, Mr. Ushimaru suddenly stopped his lecture and asked out loud. "Did I just hear a cat just now?"

The whole class looked around to see if there's a cat here or not. Widening its eyes, Morgana hastily meowed, for some unknown reason.

"Hm... Could that rumored cat be somewhere nearby?" Noting that the chatters started to build up, Mr. Ushimaru quickly cleared his throat with a loud 'Ahem', silencing everyone. "Settle down! we're in the middle of an important lecture!"

Seeing that no one was talking anymore, the Social Studies teacher returned to his lecture. Time passed for a little longer before the teacher turned around and asked again, "Actually, anyone knows where is Ichijo?"

The whole class glanced at each other, but no one came out and reply. "...He's going to face serious consequences when I find him..."

With that said, the class returned into a state of silence again. However, a few more minutes later, someone suddenly stared at the window and shouted.

"Hey... What's that...?!"

Then, another student noticed what's happening outside and widened her eyes in horror. "Wait... she's going to jump...!"

Chatters and whispers started to emerge until the whole class erupted into chaos, while Mr. Ushimaru was struggling to keep the class in order. Mishima looked over slowly, and a look of horror crept onto his face.

"S-Suzui?"

"Shiho...?!" Widening her eyes, Ann couldn't keep her body shivering before getting off her seat and rushed out of the classroom.

Meanwhile, Shiho was standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the abyss below her. Her eyes looked... dead, empty. She held a hand to her chest and clutched it into a fist.

"That's right, just jump, and Kamoshida won't get to you anymore..."

The voice of her own rang inside her head, and she nodded in response.

"Right..."

"This world is full of shits anyway, what's the point to be alive?"

Closing her eyes, Shiho took a step forward and fell, hoping that everything will be alright after this. However, Someone suddenly grabbed her arm and held tight, stopping her from her 'escape'.

"Wha- Who..." Opening her eyes, the volleyball player looked up and saw the one who was keeping her from falling. "I-Ichijo?"

It was Akira.

"U...Urgh..." Grunting, Akira tightened his grip with both of his hands. "G-Gotcha."

"Why... why are you here?"

"I... I was worried about your safety..." He said, using all his strength to pull her back up. "I-I figured it out that saving you from Kamoshida won't be the end..."

"...J-Just let me go..." Shiho murmured, tears started to leak and trailed over her face. "I-I can't take it anymore..."

"...You're scared of what Kamoshida would do to Ann, right?" Akira muttered, clutching his eyes for a split second. "I promise you. I won't let Kamoshida lay his fucking hand on anyone! Just... please, don't do this to yourself."

However, Shiho just looked down into the abyss, letting the tears drop. "I... I just want to die... just let me go... pleas-"

"I WON'T LET YOU DIE!" He exclaimed, interrupting her as his tears started to leak. "I-I... I've seen enough people die in my miserable life!"

"I may not have a future, but you DO!" Akira continued, slowly losing his strength to keep her from falling. "I know something that might able to get Kamoshida's ass out of here. It's not worth it to give up!"

"Y-you know something?"

"Believe in me, please..." Trailing off, he could feel her arms slowly but surely slipping in his grasp. "D-dammit, I'm losing you..."

"SHIHO!"

Suddenly, Ann ran over and gripped Shiho's arms with all her strength. "Ichijo, let's pull together." She said, clutching her eyes as she readied to pull. "One, two, THREE!"

Taking the hint, Akira and Ann pulled together and abled to get Shiho back onto the rooftop. Once she was back to the roof, Ann instantly held the volleyball player into her arms, and the two couldn't help but broke down. However, Akira just wiped his tears with his sleeve, noticing Ren and Ryuji rushing through the door.

"Suzui! You're OK?" Ryuji, being who he was, rushed forward and didn't take the hint that they need to be alone for a little while.

Thankfully, Ren quickly grabbed his arms and stopped him from moving forward. "Ryuji, Just leave them be for now."

"O-Oh... right."

Knowing that they wanted to know why she suddenly wanted to jump, Akira got up from the ground and walked over to them. "I don't think you would want to know what exactly happened..."

"You know?" Ann suddenly asked, causing Akira to shiver. "You know why Shiho suddenly became like this?"

However, just as Akira was about to explain, Shiho suddenly poked her head out and shook her head. "...I-Ichijo... Let me tell them..."

"But..."

"Please... just let me..." She insisted. "You... You've done enough for me..."

Akira pondered for a moment, before sighing in submission and nodded. "Fine... but I'll help you if there are some places too hard for you."

"...Thank you," Nodding, Shiho wiped her tears and choked. "I-It was yesterday... after practice, I was going to pick up my bag and leave when Mishima came up to me..."

"He said Mr. Kamoshida was looking for me..."

Ryuji tightened his fist at the mention of that name, biting his lips to stop himself from rushing down and confront Kamoshida. Ann, on the other hand, only widened her eyes in horror, darting between Ren and Shiho.

"I-I went to the office... and he..." Shiho trailed off, embracing herself as she started to sob uncontrollably. "He..."

Noting that Shiho didn't want to recollect those memories, Akira decided to continue for her. "I think I'll take over from here," He sighed, pulling his phone out from his pocket. "I hate to say it, but Kamoshida almost... raped her."

Silence came down and covered the whole rooftop, and only the sound of Shiho's sobbing was audible. Akira glanced between Ann and the two boys, and they were staring at him with a horrified look. Ann recollected her memories for a second before suddenly grabbed his collar and pushed him to the wall next to the door.

"Is this true?" She muttered with a distinct edge, glaring at him. "Is Kamoshida almost did..."

Akira nodded. "And it's not the first time he did it."

Widening her eyes for a split second, Ann glanced at Shiho with a look of guilt "...It's because of me declining his request..."

"Not the first time..." Ren muttered to himself, shifting his glasses. "...It's Akashi, right?"

"Yes, that fucker admitted that he raped Kimiko too..." He trailed off, grabbing Ann's hand, and got them off of his collars. "And Takamaki, you should be more worried about Suzui than me."

However, Ann didn't get to open her mouth before Ryuji exclaimed in anger, "That fuckin' it! I'm goin' to find Kamoshida!"

With that said, Ryuji ran off with Ren following him in concern, and Ann gave them a worried look before turning to Shiho, leaving Akira standing aside and watched.

"Shiho, let me get you to the nurse's office," She said, giving out a hand for her to get up. "...I have a lot of things I want to apologize... It's my fault that you have to go through all this..."

"No... I'm going through all this because I don't want you to..." Trailing off, tears started to leak from Shiho's eyes again as she buried her face into her palms. "Just... I'm sorry..."

"Shiho..."

Seeing that the two girls weren't going to do anything, Akira lifted him out of the wall and helped Shiho to stand up. "Takamaki, we should get her to the nurse's 'office for some rest. Save the apology for later."

Even though she was hesitant, but Ann nodded and helped him to keep Shiho up, holding one of her arms over the model's shoulder. Meanwhile, Akira opened the door for them and reluctantly followed them.

After all, his life in this shithole as a school was just filled with rumors and whispers, if he were found with them, their life here would only worsen. However, Shiho's well-being was more important now.

After getting her to the nurse's office, Shiho was offered to have a rest here until school ended. Ann was sitting next to the bed while Akira just stood next to her, leaning against the wall behind him.

Shiho stayed silent for a moment, before turning to Ann. "Ann... I think you should check on Sakamoto," She murmured, surprising Ann and Akira.

"B-but-"

"I'm fine..." She trailed off. "But Sakamoto and Amamiya confronted... him, and you know what happened last time Sakamoto..."

"This aside... I want to talk with Ichijo alone."

Opening her mouth and closing again, Ann looked between the two for a second before sighing. "Ichijo, please look after her for me." She said, standing up of her chair and left the nurse's office.

Once the model had left the nurse's office, Shiho tore her eyes from Ann to Akira. "Ichijo... When you say you have something on him, did you mean it?"

Widening his eyes for a split second, Akira nodded without a second thought. "Of course, I won't say something just for the sake of it."

Nodding to herself, the volleyball player looked down for a moment before looking into Akira's eyes. "Then, I want to help you." She said determinately.

And this shocked him.

"W-what?!" He shuttered, widening his eyes at her. "N-no! You've been through enough shit at this point. I don't want you to throw yourself into more danger..."

"But you already did this exact same thing for me, twice!" Shiho exclaimed, tightening her hands into fists. "You threw yourself to save me from Kamo-him, and you just did this today..."

"I don't want you to do this again!"

Akira just stared at her with shock, he tried to come up with a response, but nothing came out. "I... I don't care how many times I did this. If it's for you, I'm fine with that-"

"But I'm not fine," She retorted, shaking her head while clutching her eyes shut. "I feel so... useless. I couldn't do anything when you came in and save me. I just sat there and did nothing!"

"Then I did what? I tried to kill myself, and you threw yourself to save me again!" Practically shouting at this point, Shiho took a few seconds to calm herself. "I couldn't do anything for Ann, or you... So please, let me help you."

"Shiho..." Trailing off, Akira turned around and stared at the window for a long moment. On the one hand, he almost died in that castle. If Shiho, a non-Persona-user, was caught in that place... He didn't know whether he could keep her safe or not.

But he couldn't just ignore her wishes for 'her safety'. What if she insisted or even stalked him to enter that castle? After a few moments of pondering, Akira gave out a huge sigh and faced Shiho again.

"...Fine, just meet me at the front gate after school."

[After school, Courtyard]

After telling Akira to look after Shiho, Ann looked around the school before she found the two boys. And they were furious, for some reason. And a black cat is standing next to them on a table.

Raising an eye, Ann decided to stay behind for a moment to overhear their conversation.

"We gotta hurry up and go to that world and beat the shit outta that asshole!" Ryuji exclaimed in anger, smacking his fist to the vending machine next to him. "Ren, you agree?"

"...We're not beating him up," Morgana said, shaking his head. "We're simply stealing his distorted desires."

"Frankly, I'm fine with beating him up." Ren murmured with an unusual cold tone, pushing his glasses. "Suzui almost died because of that piece of shit, if Ichijo wasn't there in time..."

"So, I take this as you've made up your mind about this?" Morgana asked. "Even though he might suffer a mental shutdown?"

"Suzui almost died because of him!" Ryuji yelled, tightening his fists. "I don't give a rat's ass what happens to him anymore!"

"There's no other way," Ren added, pushing his glasses just enough to reflect the light. "We're putting our life here on the line, Morgana."

Morgana nodded in response. "...Then it's settled then."

Nodding, Ren was about to say something when Ann decided to hop into the conversation. "Is it true that you're getting expelled?" She asked, surprising the two boys and the cat. "Everyone's talking about it..."

Sighing, Ryuji closed his eyes and shook his head. "That asshole's at it again!"

"So you came all this way to tell us that?"

"No," Ann firmly denied, taking a deep breath before continuing. "Shiho almost killed herself because of Kamoshida. If you are going to deal with him, let me in too."

"I can't just stand here and do nothing!"

Ryuji looked at his feet for a moment, pondering for a second before looking up again. "I know what you're feeling, but... it's not something you should be involved with."

"Even though Shiho's alright now, what'll happen if Kamoshida does this again!" The model exclaimed, taking a step forward. "Remember Akashi? I don't want Shiho to walk on her path!"

"We don't want this to happen as well!" The ex-runner retorted with the same volume, clutching his eyes. "That's why we... I can't let you in! You're just getting yourself killed!"

Widening her eyes in surprise, Ann struggled to keep her emotion in check before running off, leaving the three in their places. Once she was gone, Ryuji gave out a heavy sigh.

"...I hate to do this to her," He murmured, glancing at Ren and Morgana. "But for her sake, let's get to the business, alright?"

"Yeah," Ren nodded, and so as Morgana.

[Meanwhile, the front gate]

Once the school ended, Akira instantly stayed at the front gate and waited for Shiho. Thankfully, she arrived after just a few minutes, looking a bit better than earlier today.

"You looked better, Suzui," He commented, a hint of a smile crept to his face.

"I know," Shiho nodded, tightening her grip on her shoulder bag. "Now, what should we do to get Kamoshida out of this place?"

Looking around, Akira spotted a dark valley nearby and led her over there, taking out his phone and opened the Meta-Nav.

"Why are we here?" She asked, her body faintly shivering from her imagination. "D-don't tell me that you're just lying-"

"I need to make sure no one spots us," He explained, opening the navigation history tab and tapped the only destination there. "But, I promise, I'll keep you safe."

"Kamoshida... Shujin Academy... Pervert... Castle..."

"beginning navigation."

Without warning, a sense of nausea suddenly hit Shiho as she saw the world around her distorted with red and purple. Before she could realize, the school was changed into a giant castle.

"W-What the hell?" Exclaiming in surprise, the volleyball player glanced around before landing on Akira. "...I-Ichijo, what are you wearing?"

"Hmm?" Raising an eye under the mask, Akira looked at his outfit for a second before shrugging. "I don't know when did I change into this, but it looked cool, right?"

"Kinda..." Trailing off, Shiho walked over to the front gate of the castle, processing the sheer size of it. "Ichijo, where are we?"

"It's Shujin, in a sense," He said, pointing at the plate with 'Shujin Academy' craved into it. "But if I had to guess, it's somewhere in Kamoshida's heart."

"You guess?" Narrowing her eyes, the volleyball player walked and stopped in front of him. "YOU GUESS?!"

"...Well, I've only been here once," Akira admitted, holding his hands up in a defensive stance. "But this place must be related to Kamoshida, I'm certain of it."

"...I'll let this slip, for once," Giving out a heavy sigh, Shiho walked over to the back of Akira. "Lead the way, Ichijo."

Nodding, Akira led her to the hole on the wall next to the large door, climbing up and entered the castle before holding out a hand for her. "Here, take my hand."

Shiho looked in height for a second before jumping up, taking his hand and he pulled her into the castle as well. Landing on the black and white tiles, they decided to explore the castle together.

['King, Queen, and Slave' plays]

Walking down the hallway of the castle, they couldn't help but notice how luxurious it was. "This place is creeping me out..." Shiho murmured, unaware of her hand, which was gripping on Akira's trench jacket. "Where are we going, exactly?"

"We're more exploring this place than going somewhere," Akira said, noting a lone guard around the corner. "Hide, quick!"

Without a second thought, Akira grabbed Shiho by her arm and dashed to a drawer nearby, hiding from the armored shadow. "...What exactly are we hiding from?" Shiho whispered, peeking out to see the lone guard approaching them. "Ichijo, what is that?"

"Shadow," He answered, taking out his grappling gun from his holster. "Stay here, OK? I'll take care of him."

With no hesitation, Akira fired the grappling gun and attached its back, struggling to keep his balance, he gripped the edge of the shadow's mask. "Let's hope this will work..." Murmuring to himself, he tightened his grip before ripping off the mask.

The lone guard twitched uncontrollably before dissolving into black goo, and two Pixies emerge from the goo. "Intruder! How dare you!"

"Sorry, but I need to get you two out of the way, Persona!" Shrugging, Akira touched his mask and summoned Moriarty, "Eiha!"

Sending two quick bursts of curse energy, the two shadows were knocked down to the ground. Snapping his finger, Akira commanded the Persona again, "Revolver shot."

(Revolver shot: light Gun damage to one foe)

With two more loud 'bang' from Moriarty's revolver, the two Pixies screamed in agony before dissolving into nothing. Returning Moriarty as his mask, Akira quickly walked over to Shiho.

"W-what just happened?" Shiho shuttered, still in shock from the even happened before her. "What's that thing you just summoned?"

"It's a Persona, the only way to fight back those shadows," Akira shrugged again, adjusting his tophat. "Anyway, we should be able to continue."

"R-right."

With a hesitant nod, the two continued on their path in the castle, avoiding as many conflicts as possible and only fight when it's their last resort. However, they quickly encountered a place called 'training hall', with screaming kept leaking out from the door.

Feeling the knot tightened in his stomach, Akira glanced at Shiho next to him. "A-are we going to investigate that place?" He asked, unintentionally gulping.

"I... I don't know-"

However, before she could finish her sentence, the sound of clattering footsteps was heard coming for them. They quickly hid somewhere nearby, just enough to keep them out of sight.

An army of soldiers with rusted silver armor rushed through the whole room. And the shouting from one of them was extremely audible. "We have intruders! It's the thieves from before!"

Raising an eye and looked at each other for a second, the two decided to follow the guards from the shadows. It led them back to the first floor of the West Building, and the two continued their exploration until they found a room that freed them from the heavy feeling.

"I think we can take a break here," Akira suggested, sitting down on one of the chairs and sighed. "Suzui, you're OK?"

Shiho, on the other hand, just stared at nothing for a second before shaking her head. "...We've been this place, and I've done nothing at all..."

"Ichijo, do you think I'm a burden to you?"

Surprised by her question, Akira instantly shook his head in refusal. "No! You're not a burden to me or anyone!"

"But I did nothing..." Trailing off, Shiho held her hands on her chest while clutching her eyes. "I can't help you fight those things. You always have to warn me and kept me safe..."

Noting that Akira said nothing for a reply, Shiho decided to continue. "Let's go back today. I need time to think..."

"Right..." Nodding, Akira opened the door and led her back to the room they came from.

However, just as they crossed the main hall, a group of shadows suddenly emerged from the ground and surrounded them.

"Shit!" Cursing to himself, Akira instantly kept her behind him and took out his scythe changing into a battle stance. "Stay behind me. I'll get us out of here."

"Moriarty! Revolver Shot!"

Akira tried his best to defeat the group of shadows in front of him, but with the sheer number advantage, Akira was knocked down and pinned to the ground. "Urgh... Goddammit!" Grunting, he tried to struggle but failed.

"Suzui! Just run!"

But Shiho just stood still, shivering as she stared at the group of guards. Inside of her mind, it's all her fault that they're now trapped in this situation. If she didn't tell Akira that she wanted to help him, maybe Kamoshida would be already dealt with...

But now, they're here, trapped and surrounded.

Holding her arms with her other hand, Shiho noticed someone behind the shadows. It was someone with the same uniform as her, the same hairstyle as her, a perfect copy of her. The only difference between them was that her eyes were glowing in gold.

Widening her eyes in fear, Shiho took a step back and murmured, "...What can I do?"

"You're just going to stand there and watch?" The doppelganger suddenly said, and it shocked her.

She sounded the exact same as her.

"W-Who are you?"

"Who am I?" the copy laughed, suddenly appeared right in front of Shiho. "I am the part of you who you've been ignoring."

"You can call me your shadow, Suzui Shiho." She smirked, turning around to face the scene in front of her. "Now, are you just going to stand here and watch? Just like that day when he saved you from Kamoshida?"

"I..." Trailing off, Shiho stared and saw Akira being held up by the guards.

"Execute him. Then we'll take her to King Kamoshida."

"You heard that? They're going to kill him," Shiho's shadow plainly said. "You should just run away when I told you to."

"So it's you..." Akira murmured, still trying to get himself free from the guard's grip. "You influence Suzui to kill herself!"

"I never 'influence' her to do it, I'm just letting her know what she truly felt," She said, resting her hands in her pockets. "In the depth of your heart, you see her as a burden-"

"I never see her as a burden or anything!" He interrupted, glaring at the shadow. "Suzui, just run! You're just going to get yourself killed!"

"I..." Clutching her eyes, Shiho took a moment before opening again. "I'm not going anywhere."

"What?!" Exclaiming in shock, Akira finally got himself free before slashing the mask of the guards holding him. "Just go! I'll keep them away from you!"

"I said, I'm not GOING ANYWHERE!" Retorting with the same volume as his, Shiho clutched her hands into fists. "I did nothing when Kamoshida pressured Ann. I did nothing when you saved me... I can't just stand here and run away!"

"If you're not running away, then what are you going to do?" The shadow asked, a hint of a smile crept to her face.

"I'm going to fight!"

"Good," She nodded. "Then, let's form a contract."

"I am thou, thou art I..." Trailing off, the shadow was covered with a bright light before disappearing. And a white swan-like mask suddenly appeared on her face.

"You've strayed away from your true self for far too long..."

"Now, you're going to show who is really in charge!"

"Thou who seek power to fight for those you love, and I shall lend you the strength!"

"A mask..." Widening his eyes in surprise, Akira took a few seconds to process before realized what's happening. "She got one too?"

"Together, we can alter everything! Even fate!"

"Say my name, and my power is yours!"

Taking a deep breath, Shiho gripped the edge of her mask and ripped it off. Blood splattered all over her face, and she screamed in pain. However, it felt like the right thing to do.

She's sick of not able to do anything, and now... she's going to fight!

"Come... LE PUCELLE!"

Blue flame suddenly emerged from the ground and covered her, and a blast of shockwave killed most of the shadows surrounding them. Using his hand to shield himself from the shockwave, Akira saw Shiho stepping out of the flame with a new outfit.

A white dress with a short skirt replaced her Shujin uniform. Her legs were covered with blue stocking-like armor but left her upper thigh exposed between the skirt and the armor. Her lower arms were covered with the same blue armor, but a pair of white gloves covering her hands. Her torso was covered by more armor while she was wearing high heels.

Behind Shiho was her Persona- Le Pucelle, a woman in silver armor and a plain white mask over her face, a white cape blowing with the wind. She was holding a giant sword on her hand and raising a flag with her left hand, and her golden hair was spreading out.

"Well, now we can finally fight side-by-side," Akira smiled, rushing to her side and held up his scythe.

"I'm sick of not able to do anything, running away... but not anymore!" Shiho shouted, pulling the sword from her holster. Swinging down, the blade separated into pieces and turned into a sword whip.

Closing her eyes for a second to recollect herself, Shiho swung the whip up again, and the blade collapsed, returning to its sword form. And she pointed it to the sole guard with golden armor.

"Now, I'm going to fight!"

Free from her old self, Suzui Shiho tore through the shadows with elegance.

However, a sudden scream interrupted their plan.

As their prepare to continue infiltration,Ichijo Akira met up with other people.

New and familiared.

Next Chapter:

"Preparation"

Stay Tuned!

Well, Shiho finally awakened her Persona! If you've read the original version of Another Thief, you'll notice that I redesigned Jeanne (now called Le Pucelle for the third semester) and Shiho's outfit.

The original version of Shiho's outfit was basically a one-to-one copy of Kasumi's costume. Now rewriting this fic, I decided to redo her design to be more unique.

Also, now both members of Le Fool had awakened their Persona, the next chapter will full swing into Kamoshida's infiltration!

In all and all, I hope y'all like the fic so far!

Reviews are welcome!
