"You're riding our coattails." Ren said. a solemn tone to his voice as his words sent chills down your spine.

You had been one of Kamoshida's abuse victims. As a result of this, you wanted to repay the Phantom Thieves any way you could.. So you opened up a website dedicated for the Phantom Thieves, in which people could send in their requests for the Phantom Thieves to help them change the hearts of those who were causing strife in society..

As the Phantom Thieves got bigger and bigger, you started bragging about being friends with the Phantom Thieves, and in a Mementos trip which you somehow ended up in, you ended up awakening your Persona powers.. It wasn't long before you had practically become one of them.. Or so you thought.

You began inserting yourself more and more into their outings, you tried pushing your way into their missions and work, your recklessness becoming more and more apparent.. It was clear there was a moment to put a stop to your delusions and let you know how it really was.

"I'm sorry.. But Joker is right.. We appreciate everything you've done for us, but it's just not working out.. You're still our friend, but.. Really, you're not Phantom Thief material.." Makoto spoke up next.. and you could tell beneath her mask, her heart was aching for you.

"But just know, you're always going to be our friend..! Besides, running the Phan-Site's more your thing rather than being out here in the Metaverse with us." Ann replied, clearly feeling terrible, but her stance was firm on this subject.

"Sorry, dude.. I agree with them, it just isn't working out." Ryuji added the final nail in the coffin, whilst Yusuke, Haru and Futaba stood in silence..

You stood there, in Mementos, in silence..

..You had never felt so terrible.
