Sae: ......Are you okay there?
Makoto: Y-yeah...

Sae: From what I can tell. Did you receive a letter?
Makoto: ......
(Makoto clicks the message.)
Makoto: *gulp*
Sae: Hm?
(Makoto reads the message.)
Makoto: "Dear Ms. Niijima, After careful data examination and review based on your tests with background checks. We at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are happy to inform you that you have passed on becoming a Detective for the Criminal Investigation Bureau "
........YES!
(Makoto excitingly stands up and pumps her arms upwards.)
(Sae makes a surprising look.)
Sae: You...did it....?
Makoto: YES!
(The sisters hug each other.)
Makoto: I can't believe I did!
(Makoto continues reading the message.)
"You have also shown above average remarks to your tests, In which you have been assigned to Division 1. You will report on "June 14 2020 at 9:00 AM"
Makoto: Division 1......That's the general crimes unit!
Sae: All those 2 years of being a police officer have really been paid off.
Makoto: Hehe, yeah. I still honestly can't believe I make it.
Sae: You did good, You proved yourself against those men. Dad would be proud.
Makoto: Thanks.
(Makoto sits back down.)
Makoto: *relief sigh* Wow, I'll be reporting by tomorrow. It's so quick!

Ann: "I'm so proud of you ＼(^ω^)／"
Haru: "Go get 'em Detective!"
Ren: "Don't forget about Kaneshiro, I believe he has something up his sleeve about Sumire."
Makoto: "I'm not sure if they'll allow me right off the bat, But I'll deal with him."
(Makoto closes her phone.)
Makoto: *sigh* (Well.....here comes the start of my new life.)
(Makoto goes to sleep.)

[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]
[Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda City, Tokyo]
(Makoto is in the elevator, She is holding her box of full of her stuff for her new work desk .)
Makoto: (First day as a Detective......I have to report to the chief named "Hoshino".)
(The elevator has arrived to the police floor.)
Makoto: *gulp*
(She steps out of the elevator.)
Makoto: *determined exhale*
(Makoto walks in, and everyone looks at her as silence flows through the air.)
"Who is she?"
"She's the newly appointed detective."
"Wow she looks....amazing-"
"Get your ass back to work!"
Makoto: ......
(Makoto finds an empty work desk and placed her box.)
(The Chief of this bureau "Junji Hoshino" steps out from his office.)
[Junji Hoshino, Age 62 served as Division 1's Chief. He has a fat build who seems to be eating donuts in a daily basis. His hair is also happen to be naturally grayed out.]
Chief Hoshino: Ah! You must be Niijima-san, correct?
Makoto: Yes Sir!
Chief Hoshino: Welcome! Please come right in.
(Makoto nods her head as she heads into the chief's office.)
......
(Both sit down.)
Chief Hoshino: so....
(The Chief reads Makoto's biographical report on a folder.)
Makoto: (From what I can tell......he is around his late 50's? early 60's?)
Chief Hoshino: Hmm, you're currently studying for college?
Makoto: Yes sir.
Chief Hoshino: What course?
Makoto: Mathematics.
(The Chief gives an impressed look.)
Chief Hoshino: .....you happen to have an older sister who works as a defense attorney.
....
You excel a lot in combat and firearms, very impressive for someone on your age.
Makoto: (I have to thank myself for being in the Phantom Thieves, I wouldn't make it here without them.)
Chief Hoshino: Interesting.....You're also the daughter of Officer Niijima himself.
I never thought a girl like you would uphold him up. Sorry to hear about him.
Makoto: It's fine. I put that behind me, I think he wouldn't like to see me and my sister down. That's why I have to keep moving on for both his sake and for being better than myself.
(He nods in being impressed by her.)
Chief Hoshino: Well....
(The Chief closes the folder.)
Chief Hoshino: You look trustworthy enough. I'm happy to say that you're welcome to Division 1, Niijima. We are glad to have you here. Don't disappoint me and this division.
Makoto: Thank you and yes sir I won't!
(She stands up and bows.)
.....
(Makoto walks back to her desk, she then sets it up.)
[9:20 AM]
(Makoto is about to finish placing her stuffs on the desk.)
Makoto: .....
(She picks up a picture frame.)
Makoto: !
(It's Ren's selfie when they were in Hawaii, 2016 [https://img.wattpad.com/1c8b2081c93def8710a0322ee614356f2944017c/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4478653348786e444b78786f47513d3d2d313131333436323332352e313639636436303862663664376435353232303431363434363639312e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
(It's Ren's selfie when they were in Hawaii, 2016.)
Makoto: *sigh* (I look awkward there, It's been a while since when we got together......)
(Makoto places her picture frame.)
Makoto: Right, all set!
(Makoto opens up her work laptop and the monitors.)
Makoto: (First day as a Detective.....computer work.)
[11:30 AM]
Makoto: *yaaaaaawn*
(Makoto is filling in some documents.)
(Meanwhile, the fellow officers and employees talk about Makoto.)
"I heard she made a lot of quick arrests during her time as an officer, She's upholding her father's legacy."
"Wow, really? I wonder how much of a fight she can put up against Sanada-san."
"Who?"
"Sanada? Never heard of him? He's a detective too in Iwatodai."
"Really?"
"I've heard a lot of convicts say that he hits like a truck!"
"The hell does he eat? Protein?"
(The elevator door opens.)
Makoto: .....hm?
(It's Sae, she came to visit Makoto.)
"Woah, who is she?"
"Ain't that Sae Niijima? That hot defense attorney?"
Makoto: S-sis! What are you doing here?
Sae: You forgot your coffee.
Makoto: O-oh!....Thanks.
"I knew it! They're related!"
(Sae hands Makoto her coffee filled in a stainless-steel tumbler.)
Sae: So, How's the Detective work holding up?
Makoto: Nothing much really, It's just some document works for now.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Sae: I see. Well, I have to head off now, My break is almost up.
Makoto: Ah okay, Bye!
(Sae left the building.)
[2:20 PM]
Makoto: *yaaawn*
(Makoto is sitting by.)
Makoto: *sigh* (The good old waiting game....)
(Chief Hoshino exits his office.)
Chief Hoshino: Niijima!
(Makoto's eyes widened as she quickly looks back at Hoshino.)
Makoto: Y-yes Sir?!
Chief Hoshino: We have a case of homicide in Minato City, Get a move on!
Makoto: Right away Sir!
(Makoto leaves the building.)
[Somewhere Around Minato City]
[2:42 PM]
(Makoto arrives at the crime scene.)
Makoto: *gulp*
(It's a dead man placed near a brick wall. With his face drawn with a mark of a Fox mask.)
Makoto: (His face....)
(Makoto walks near the scene, but is stopped by a female police officer.)
Police Officer: Stop, this is a police line.
(Makoto pulls out her badge and I.D.)
Makoto: Detective Niijima of Division 1.
(The Officer nods her head and lets her through.)
(Makoto gets through the police line and observes the body.)
Makoto: Hm.....
(Makoto pulls out her notepad and pen.)
Makoto: (There's a big stab wound right around the stomach......A deep one too, reaching all the way to his back. Did the murderer use a sword? How did it even do it in broad daylight?)
(It's a clean cut too.....The murderer obviously used this man's blood to draw that......mark on his face.)
.....
(Wait.....Why does this look similar to the mask of a Fox? Specifically, Yusuke's?)
(Makoto has finished writing down her notes.)
Makoto: Best if I take a picture.
(Makoto pulls out her phone and takes a picture of the dead body.)
Makoto: Alright.
(Makoto steps out of the crime scene.)
Makoto: I better look if there are any second eyes around.
(Makoto looks for any nearby CCTV cameras.)
Makoto: Nope.....nothing....
(Makoto walks back to the station.)
Makoto: I better send over the details to the forensics.
Radio: *tch* Attention any nearby units at Shiba, We have a robbery in progress at a convenience store. I repeat, we have a robbery in progress at a convenience store.
Makoto: Shiba.....Wait that's not far from here!
(Makoto runs to the convenience store.)
[Convenience Store]
[Shiba, Minato City]
[2:50 PM]
(The robbers are holding the cashier at gunpoint.)
(Makoto steps in.)
Makoto: Hey!
Robber A (in a demonic-like voice): Tch!
(Robber A noticed Makoto's badge.)
Robber B: You goddamn pigs don't have to be here!
(Robber B aims his gun to Makoto.)
Robber B (in a demonic-like voice): You stay the fuck back!
Makoto: Tch!
(Makoto walks towards the robbers.)
Robber B: Damn you!
(Robber B tries to pull the trigger, but before he can do it.....)
Makoto: Hmph!
(Makoto goes for Robber B. She quickly hits his elbow with her open palm, Snapping his arm. The robber is forced to drop his gun due to the pain.)
Robber B: GAH!-....AGGGGGH!
Robber A: Gotcha!
(Robber A grabs Makoto from behind.)
Makoto: Darn!...
Robber A: Quick man! I got her tied up-
(Robber B tries to get back up as he takes on the pain of his dislocated arm.)
Robber B: Uuuuhh......YooooOOUUU!
Makoto: HMPH!
(Makoto sweeps her foot to Robber A's foot on behind, making him lose footing.)
Robber A: WOAH!-
(As he about to lose footing, Makoto grabs his arm and goes for a frontal supplex throw.)
Makoto: Nnnyyeeh!
(He throws Robber A into Robber B.)
Robber A & B: UGAAH!-
(Other police officers have arrived.)
Police Officer A: STOP RIGHT-......there?
(The Officer sees Makoto with the downed robbers.)
Police Officer B: Niijima-San?
Makoto: MM!
(Makoto puts Robber B's arm back into place.)
Robber B: GAA-haaack!-
(She stands back up and notices the two male officers.)
Makoto: Oh- Hey boys, I got what you needed!
Police Officer A: Thank you for the help, Niijima!
Makoto: Greatly appreciated!
(Makoto smiles, Both the officers put on the handcuffs to the two robbers.)
(She goes outside the store.)
Makoto: *phew* Alright, back to where I was going.
[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]
[3:30 PM]
(Makoto is analyzing the dead body.)
Makoto: (Hmm so far.....This is all what I can get. A man around his late 20's to early 30's, Everything else is what I see. A big stab wound which must be a sword, and blood drawn into his face.)
....
(Makoto's eyes slowly go left and right.)
(Wait a second....)
(Makoto goes to a search engine, she searches for a similar case that she recalls yesterday.)
Makoto: (Where is it....where is it....
.....There!)
(She finds a news article from yesterday about the death of "Kosuke Shinpachi".)
Makoto: (If I remember, he also had that same drawing on his face.)
(Makoto compares Shinpachi's dead body with the recent one. Both share similarities.)
Makoto: (Oh god.....It has the exact same pattern, Down to detail!)
....
(Does Yusuke know about this?, I better check him up.)
(Makoto opens her phone and goes into a private message with Yusuke.)
.......
(Yusuke has made no response.)
Makoto: H-huh? I'll try bugging him.
(Makoto repeatedly sends messages to Yusuke......but he still didn't make any response.)
Makoto: Damn.
[4:59 PM]
Makoto: *sigh*
(Makoto has finished some paperwork.)
Makoto: That's all of them.....
(She stands up and stretches, The Chief steps outside his office.)
Makoto: That's about the end of my shift. See ya, everyone!
Chief Hoshino: Take care!
(She walks to the elevator, heading back home.)
"Dude, you think I got a shot on her?"
"I really don't know man, you look out of her league, Try her sister."
Chief Hoshino: I can hear you two!
[8:00 PM]
[Niijima Household]
(The door of their house unlocks and opens.)
Sae: I'm home.
(She enters in.)
Sae: ?
(Sae notices Makoto asleep on the couch.)
Sae: .......*sigh*...
(She smiles, she then goes to put her briefcase on the dining chairs.)
Sae: Hey....
(Sae wakes up Makoto.)
Makoto: huh?......oh.....hey...
Sae: Must be a tiring day at work, Do you mind moving to your bed?
Makoto: Oh-...no...I'm fine.
(Makoto gets up and stretches as she yawns.)
Sae: So, How was it?
Makoto: Oh it's samey-samey, But with less patrolling and more investigating. Well.....more computer work.
Sae: I see, expected for a detective.
Makoto: How about you?
Sae: Nothing much, same old paperworks like yesterday and the day before. It's just it's been a bit rougher lately with the increase in murder rates.
(Sae opens the TV.)
News Reporter: "-plane crash on the mountains of Hiroshima, So far there are only 10 confirmed survivors-"
(Sae changes channels.)
News Reporter: "-murdered right on the city of Minato."
Makoto: Hm?
(Makoto looks at the TV.)
News Reporter: "It appears that he has a drawing on his face with blood."
Makoto: Hey, that's the case that I'm working on.
Sae: Really? Now I could see why your day was tiring.
Makoto: *yaaawn*
(Makoto goes to her room.)
[June 15 2020, Monday]
[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]
[3:20 PM]
(Makoto slams the table.)
Makoto: I am not messing around!
(Makoto is interrogating Junya Kaneshiro.)
Kaneshiro: .....
Makoto: Where are you hiding Yoshizawa!?
Kaneshiro: I told you! I don't know who she is!
Makoto: Then what was about Kamurocho on the 11th!?
Kaneshiro: Why? What about it?
(Makoto opens her laptop, she plays a CCTV footage of Ren's fight with his men back in Kamurocho.)
Makoto: About 10 to 15 of your men attacked her boyfriend "Ren Amamiya" who's a Phantom Thief.
Kaneshiro: .....
Makoto: She has gone missing for days now and this event right there shows that you've got something about her.
(Kaneshiro looks closer to the video.)
Kaneshiro: These are not my men!
Makoto: Are you sure about that?
(Makoto fast forward the video to the end of the battle.)
Thug member: "Y......you..."
"You're that fucker who put Kaneshiro behind bars! You're the Phantom Thieves of Heart!"
"You're gonna fucking pay for incarcerating our boss!"
Joker: "What?-"
(Makoto pauses the video.)
Kaneshiro: I-I don't even know this guy!
Makoto: What do you mean by that!?
Kaneshiro: My men were disbanded months after I got arrested, I quit this gang life right after the Thieves changed my heart!
Makoto: Hmph....
Kaneshiro: I'm telling you again! I have nothing associated with this-......thing!
(Makoto gives a frustrated look.)
Makoto: Fine, you wait right here.
(Makoto exits the interrogation room.)
Makoto: *frustrated sigh*
(If these were not Kaneshiro's men, Why they would be associated with him?)
....
....
(Wait....I do recall Ren saying that the shadows have possessed the humans. Kaneshiro is unaware of the Metaverse, and if these men were shadows.....)
......!
(It makes sense! These shadows originated from Kaneshiro's castle and their boss is obviously the Shadow version of Kaneshiro.)
(Makoto walks back into the room.)
Makoto: Alright, I believe you.
Kaneshiro: ........Thank you.
[9:20 PM]
[Shibuya Station Underground Mall]
(Makoto is walking with Ann and Haru.)
Ann: So you got nothing on Kaneshiro?
Makoto: In a way no, but I have an idea.
Haru: I'm sorry- Who's Kaneshiro again?
Ann: You weren't around when we encountered him.
Makoto: But he threatened to leak a picture of us in his club to Shujin High if we don't pay him.
Haru: Ahh, I see.
Ann: So what gives you the idea?
Makoto: Remember when Ren said that the shadows have possessed the humans? Well on that time he fought his men in Kamurocho, Those men weren't Kaneshiro's.
Ann: Huh?
Makoto: But they happen to be possessed by the same shadows from Kaneshiro's palace.
Haru: Wait, Is Kaneshiro unaware of his shadow self?
Makoto: Yes, which is why he told me that those men don't belong with him
Ann: Huh, It makes sense....
Haru: So the shadows are holding Sumire captive then...
Makoto: That's currently the only possibility right now.
(Ann continues eating her crepe.)
Makoto: Anybody know where Ren is?
Haru: Yeah....He hasn't responded today.
Ann: *munch* *munch*.....*gulp* I heard he is busy gearing himself up or something.
Makoto: Considering about the situation with Sumire....
Haru: We gotta give it to him, Ren is really determined to protect someone close to him whenever they get threatened.
Ann: This is why we're still breathing. He makes a good Phantom leader.
Makoto: But considering who he is, He won't stop until he finds Sumire. After all....you know.
Ann: Yeah I get you, that's a really good type of man if you ask me.
Haru: Agreed!
(Makoto's hears a report on her radio earpiece.)
Makoto: !
(Makoto stops for a bit to listen, Ann and Haru stopped too as they notice her.)
Radio: "Attention units, we have received information from Kamurocho about a dead body, I repeat a dead body found in Kamurocho. Any nearby officers please respond."
Ann: What's wrong?
Makoto: .....
(The call ends.)
Makoto: I received a call about a dead body.
Haru: Oh!
Makoto: Kamurocho.....that's way far.
Ann: You're planning to go?
Makoto: Eh.....no. I'll look it over by tomorrow.
Haru: I think the Detective Queen needs her rest.
Makoto: H-hey, I'm not even at that level!
(Makoto spends the rest of her day with the two.)
[June 16 2020, Tuesday]
[10:00 AM]
(Makoto checks the latest reports.)
Makoto: (If I remember, there was a Kamurocho incident last night.)
(Makoto clicks the Kamurocho event.)
Makoto: (Knew it!)
(It shows a dead woman who happens to also have his face blood-drawn with the Fox design.)
Makoto: (Everything checks out, Big stab would on the stomach, drawn with victim's own blood.)
(Makoto lets out a frustrated exhale.)
Makoto: (What is the perpetrator's motive?.....What's with that drawing? Some kind of signature? This isn't even the first time and why they fail to catch the killer? He's even just repeating the same methods as last time!)
.....
(I'm gonna need to take it out to the board.)
[1:28 PM]
(Makoto finishes projecting her assumptions and analyzations onto the bulletin board.)
Makoto: .....
(Makoto looks at the picture of Shinpachi.)
(She then looks at another photo of the dead man in Shiba.)
....
(Followed by the recent one in Kamurocho.)
Makoto: hmmm....
(She then steps a bit back, looks at all 3 pictures that all connect into a picture of a Fox's mask.)
Makoto: Hmm......I need to gather in more clues.
(Makoto heads out from the building.)

(Makoto interviews the people about the murder last night.)
Makoto: Have you seen the murder that took place?
Middle-aged Lady: Oh, no I wasn't even aware of it!
Salaryman: I just saw the dead body, that's already filled with cops as I pass by
High-Schooler: Not a clue ma'am
Middle-aged Man: *tsk* It's always the same! There's always murders here in this place.
Makoto: *sigh* Not a thing!
[2:41 PM]
[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]
Makoto: *sigh*
(Makoto is looking at her bulletin board.)
"Perpetrator's appearance: ????"
Makoto: Nothing about how the perpetrator looks, Is he an escape artist?
???: Yo, Niijima
Makoto: Hmm?
(Makoto turns around, It's one of the officers working with her.)
Officer: This is the autopsy report from the forensics you asked 2 days ago.
Makoto: Oh! Thank you.
(He hands over Makoto the report.)
(Makoto sits back down to her desk. She opens the folder and reads it.)
Makoto: ......
"Victim is shown to have been stabbed on the stomach reaching through the back. Possibly a sword was used."
Makoto: (I knew it!)
(Makoto spends the rest of her time investigating about this incident.)
[6:00 PM]
Makoto: *yaaaaaawn*
(Makoto checks the time.)
Makoto: Shift's over? I guess I'll have to keep thinking about it
(Makoto exits the building.)
[Convenience Store]
(Makoto buys herself a can of iced tea and exits the store.)
Makoto: Better head home next.
(Makoto walks back home.)
Makoto: ......
......
......
(Something instantly appeared on Makoto.)
Makoto: !
???: HMMPH!
(An unknown man punches Makoto.)
Makoto: GAH!-
(Makoto is unconscious and about to fall to the ground, But the unknown man catches her.)
???: Hmph....
(He quickly disappears alongside Makoto.)
[9:20 PM]
[An Alley]
....
....
....
....
(Makoto wakes up.)
Makoto: Uuuuhh......
(She looks around.)
Makoto: Where......am....I?
(She continues to look around, the alley is dark with only one light pole.)
Makoto: Tch!
(She exits the alley.)
???: HMPH!
(But before she can do......she's pushed away.)
Makoto: GAH!-......
(She tumbles to the ground.....then stops. Makoto stands back up.)
Makoto: What the!?
(A slow clap is heard.)
???: Good job~, Detective.
Makoto: W-w-Who are you!?
???: I'd rather not say at the moment, perhaps I don't do introductions in my line of work.
Makoto: W-.....What?......What do you want from me!?
???: To add you into my count~, and perhaps....
(The unknown man slowly reveals himself by the light pole.)
Makoto: !!!
(It's the darkly dressed man who's wearing a Fox mask.)
Fox-Masked Killer: Send a message to the force.
Makoto: Tch! You!-
Fox-Masked Killer: Yes yes, I'm the man who you're looking for.
(The Killer snaps his fingers, and disappears.)
Makoto: !?
(Makoto looks around.)
Fox-Masked Killer: It was difficult to find me, no? I guess I put up a good show for you.
(The Killer is behind Makoto.)
Makoto: Tsk!
(Makoto makes a backhand punch.)
(But the Killer disappears.)
Fox-Mask Killer (echoey): Pathetic.
(He reappears and kicks Makoto's foot, making her lose footing.)
Makoto: UWAH-
(His Dark and Ghastly Persona appears and pins Makoto to the ground.)
Makoto: GAH!
Fox-Masked Killer: Sorry that I have to make our meeting cut short
(His black broadsword slowly appears in thin air.)
Fox-Masked Killer: But I have to do what I have to do.
Makoto: D-DAMN YOU!
(The Killer slashes Makoto.)
.......
(A loud engine rev is heard.)
Makoto: *gasp!*
Fox-Masked Killer: Tsk!
(Her Persona "Johanna" is stopping the Killer's slash.)
(Johanna makes a burnout as it quickly turns right and slightly raises its rear end to hit the Killer.)
Fox-Masked Killer: UGAH-
(He is sent flying....)
(But disappears, Alongside with his Persona.)
Makoto: Tch!.....shit....
(Makoto slowly stands back up.)
...
(As she stands back up, she switches into her Metaverse form.)
Queen: No way......My Persona!?
(Queen looks at herself.)
Queen: Woah....
(The Killer appears in front of her.)
Fox-Masked Killer: HMPH!
(He uppercuts Queen.)
Queen: GHH!-
(Queen is sent flying upward.)
(The Killer repositions himself by teleporting into the air.)
Queen: *gasp!*
(The Killer makes several combos of kicks.)
Fox-Masked Killer: USSHAH!
(The Killer makes an overhead axe kick, sending Queen back to the ground.)
Queen: GAH-......ah-....
(The Killer snaps his fingers to summon his sword. As he falls, he makes a finishing death blow by falling into Queen.)
Queen: !
Fox-Masked Killer: DIE!
(Queen rolls over.)
