The bell above Leblanc’s door gives a soft chime, sharp against the heavy quiet. Rain paints slow, silver trails down the glass, reflecting the turmoil churning inside you. Haru and Makoto step aside, revealing a fragile figure trembling on the threshold—eyes hollow, shoulders bowed under a weight only they can feel. Inside, the Phantom Thieves go still. Ryuji’s smirk fades; Morgana’s ears press flat. This isn’t a villain to be broken, but a shattered soul waiting to be pieced together. The air grows dense with unspoken grief as you takes one unsteady step forward, the ghost of their past clinging like a second skin. Ren watches, silent and steady, while Sojiro slides a warm drink across the counter, offering the first thin thread of hope in a world that has long gone cold.
