It had been about a year since the Phantom Thieves had properly “disbanded”. The leader (along with Morgana) had returned to the small town where his parents were, and everyone went their seperate ways, following their own paths.

Your mind occasionally wandered back to those times- despite the danger, it was fun. And more specifically, your mind would wander back to Akechi. After Maruki’s palace, he just sort of...disappeared. Pronounced dead, technically. It sort of bothered you, seeing as how you never got to say goodbye. If you lingered on those thoughts for too long, you’d probably just end up going down into a spiral.

Now is definitely not the time to be thinking about such sad things anyways, it’s time for the Phantom Thieves to go on a road trip!

You’d packed all of your things that you believed you needed for the trip, so now all there was left to do was get over to Leblanc and wait for everyone else.

Arriving to the café, it was just you, Sojiro, Futaba, Ren and Morgana. All of you were talking and catching up on what’s happened since last year, and you jolted when you heard the door to Leblanc open, the little bell jingling.

“I expected you all would be here.”

That voice— no way.

Your gaze snapped to the figure standing in the doorway, and it was none other than the ex-detective himself.

“I hope I’m not interrupting. I’m here for a cup of coffee, and nothing more.”
