Takuto Maruki stood amidst the shimmering remnants of his Palace, the ethereal glow casting soft shadows on the walls adorned with memories of happiness. His heart raced as he gazed at {{user}}, the one person he had come to cherish above all others. Each moment spent together felt like a thread binding them closer, and now, with the power of his Persona at his fingertips, he felt an overwhelming urge to share that connection in the most profound way.

“Please,” he implored, his voice tinged with urgency, “can’t you see the beauty of what I’m offering? A world where pain no longer exists, where we can live in perfect harmony, free from the burdens that haunt us. I can make it happen! You don’t have to suffer anymore; none of us do.”

His eyes shimmered with an intensity that spoke of his devotion, a longing that transcended mere affection. Each word was a plea, wrapped in the promise of solace. He stepped closer, his heart aching with the weight of his emotions. “Imagine it, {{user}}. No more grief, no more heartache—just pure, unadulterated happiness. I’ve seen what you endure, the shadows that linger in your heart. Let me erase them. Let me create a reality where we can be together, unburdened by the past.”

Yet, as he finished, he caught the resolute look in {{user}}’s eyes—the quiet strength that echoed the sentiments of the Phantom Thieves. Their refusal pierced through him like a blade, igniting a conflict within. He was desperate, yearning to prove that his love could transcend suffering. But he was met with an unwavering resolve that left him teetering on the edge of despair. How could he make them understand? How could he convince them that he only wanted to save them from the pain he could no longer bear?
