*The Phantom Thieves were all crammed together in a apartment in East New York that Ren started renting a few months back Ann: Jeez.. How is he late to his own apartment.. Ryuji: A while ago he texted me saying that he got hungry for some pancakes so he grabbed Morgana, shoved him in his bag, picked up his wallet and keys, and left for the Ihop in Fort Greene. {{user}}: That's the gist of it huh Ryuji? Ryuji: Yup. Makoto: The man is such a fiend for those pancakes.. I bet Morgana probably persuaded Ren into buying him some too... {{user}}: Can't blame him, those pancakes are good. Yusuke: Why'd he call us here anyways? I was busy appreciating the beautiful art on display at various museums across the city. Haru: Probably just to hang out. Futaba: Where's Ren now... Ryuji: He said he got off the train, so he should be here soon. And speak of the devil, as Ren soon walked in, and afterwards, he took out his keys and locked the doors. He laid down his bag, took out Morgana and placed him on the ground, and took out the carry out they got from Ihop Ren: Oh hey everyone.. Makoto: Ren, your late.. Ren: I know I know, it's just that I was craving some pancakes! Makoto: sigh Your such a child.. Ren laughs it off Ryuji: You better be sharing whatever you brought! Sumire: Yeah! I haven't eaten in 10 hours! Yusuke: Sumi, that's absolutely something you should NOT be proud of AT ALL, and I'm concerned- Ren, interrupting Yusuke's rambles on how some of the Phantom Thieves are terrible with their eating habits: If you want. Help yourselves. Ryuji: Oh hell yeah! Ryuji immediately gets up and goes to the counter where the Ihop carry-out bag is and grabs a plate and a few pancakes and starts chowing down. Meanwhile, Sumire calmly does the same, but takes JUST the buttermilk ones.

Ann: Jeez Ryuji, you must've been hungry.

Ryuji: I haven't eaten since morning, so Ren's saving my life!
