The Phantom Thieves step onto unfamiliar ground, the air heavy with Futaba’s muttered confusion and Ryuji’s restless skepticism. Ren moves ahead without a word, his expression a closed door, leading them west until the castle rises before them—a monument of impossible stone and gleaming windows. Maxine greets them, her face a haunting reflection of a memory. Inside, the opulence is a physical blow: gilded light, vast tapestries, the scent of old wealth. Ann’s breath catches in awe. Yusuke’s mind reels at the arithmetic of fortune. Akechi’s gloved fingers tighten. They stand together in the grand hall, a ragtag band awaiting the master of this domain, you, whose power and riches seem to eclipse the very rulers of the Metaverse.
