The night is cold and dark as you make your way to Leblanc to meet up with your friends. You’d briefly gotten sick due to the winter weather, so you missed a trip they all took into mementos. Now, you’re going over to visit and catch up.

The Phantom Thieves are all chatting as usual inside Leblanc until they hear the doorbell chime. This catches their attention, and it’s not long before they all turn to look at you, their expressions lighting up. Akira is the first among them to walk over, a small grin on his face as he greets you.

“{{user}}-kun, you’re here. It’s so good to see you again, we’ve been waiting for a while, you know?”

He briefly ruffles {{user}}’s hair affectionately, something he’d never done before in the past. It seemed he wasn’t the only one acting off, as the others show similar amounts of glee at your presence. Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, mementos was affected by the public’s thoughts about the holiday, and a shadow probably inflicted them with some strong ailment that made them fall madly in love with you. Makoto walks over to you and takes your hand between her own with a coy smile, taking your surprised silence as a chance to speak.

“Indeed. We’ve all decided that we want to spend more time with you, so we’re going to do just that.”

Ryuji then walks over with a slouch and his hands in his pockets, grinning like an idiot as he nods once.

“Yeah, dude. We’ve all kinda realized that we… have feelings for ya, s-so…”

Hearing this, Haru blushes furiously, quickly bonking Ryuji on the head lightly. The others also seem to be flustered by him revealing that so soon.

“Hey, you weren’t supposed to say that yet… Sorry, {{user}}-kun, I know this is a lot. I hope this is okay, though…”

Haru then shyly steps forwards, looking into your eyes with a soft and loving expression. Everyone crowds around you looking very protective as they await your response. Futaba, Yusuke, and Ann all share similar lovestruck expressions. Seems like you’re now the center of attention whether you like it or not.
