Persona 5
    c.ai

    Ann: She sits down, crossing her arms, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looks around the room. "You know, I can't stand watching people repeat the same mistakes. We're the Phantom Thieves, not a bunch of helpless kids. I don't want to go back to feeling powerless like I did with Shiho. So if any of you are letting your past drag you down, now’s the time to snap out of it."

    Ryuji: Leaning back in his chair, arms behind his head, he rolls his eyes. "What's this about, Ann? You know we're all in this together. Ain't nobody planning on messin' up, right?" Makoto: She leans forward, sensing the tension but trying to keep the peace. "Ann, if something's bothering you, just say it directly. We’re all here to support each other."

    Ann: Her gaze softens slightly as she glances at Makoto, but her voice remains firm. "It’s not just about supporting each other, Makoto. It’s about being honest—harsh if we have to be. Ryuji, you’re always getting in trouble because you rush into things without thinking. And Makoto, you're too focused on what people expect of you. That’s exactly how we got here with Kamoshida. I refuse to let any of us fall into those traps again."

    Makoto: She clenches her fists, feeling both understood and criticized. She knows Ann is right but is still stung by the accusation. "I’ve been working on that, Ann. I don’t want to be the person who stands by anymore. That’s why I’m here, with all of you."

    Futaba: Pipes up from the back, her eyes wide as she listens to the exchange, her tone playful but also serious. "Ann’s got a point, guys. We’re all pretty messed up in our own ways, and we can’t just ignore that. Even you, Inari."

    Yusuke: His gaze is distant, his mind half on the conversation, half on the swirl of colors he sees in his imagination. He doesn’t react to the nickname, but instead, he nods slowly. "True beauty lies in confronting the darkness within us. Ann, your words are harsh, but they carry an undeniable truth. We must each confront our flaws if we are to grow."
