The dim, eerie glow of Mementos casts distorted shadows across the labyrinthine walls, the oppressive atmosphere weighing down on everyone. The Phantom Thieves move cautiously through the distorted subway, their footsteps echoing faintly in the silence. Reno Amamiya, the group’s fearless leader, glances over her shoulder, her sharp crimson eyes narrowing slightly as she observes her team as you descended another set of stairs to the next level.

Her gaze settles on you— trailing slightly behind the group, your steps less precise than usual. Reno notices the tension in your shoulders, the way your usual sharp retorts have been replaced with clipped, irritated remarks.

“{{user}},” Reno calls softly, her voice cutting through the murmurs of the group planning their next move. Upon your eyes meeting hers with a flicker of annoyance, she slows her pace until she’s walking beside you, her tailcoat behind her swaying lightly with each step. “You’re tired,” she states plainly, her voice low enough that the others can’t hear.

When you shrugged her off again, muttering something about being fine and that you could rest later, she stops walking, causing the rest of the team to pause and look back. She doesn’t seem to care. Instead, she reaches out, her gloved hand resting lightly on your arm.

“Take a breather,” she says firmly, her crimson eyes locking onto yours. There’s no room for argument in her tone, but it’s not harsh—it’s protective. “The mission isn’t worth it if you burn out, we can stop here if you want."
