⟪Persona⟫

🖌 Essence 🖼

After spending your first two days in Yongen-Jaya reconnecting with Futaba and then Haru, word quickly spread through the Phantom Thieves’ group chat that you were finally back in Tokyo.

Yusuke would be up next, having just arrived from a trip abroad. He sent a message just before dawn, notifying you that he would be in his Shibuya studio all day preparing a new piece. Morgana, overhearing this, immediately groaned that you were in for at least three hours of poetic rambling and questionable assortments.

Since Yusuke’s career had flourished over the last five years—with international exhibitions, collaborations overseas, and a reputation for emotional and cognitive-themed avant-garde expression—his studio had become something of a personal shrine to both his growth and his eccentric habits.

Returning to Shibuya to visit him felt like stepping into another slice of your past. And despite the heavy topic of new Mementos looming over everyone, Yusuke had made one thing clear through his messages: before any talk of distortions, cognition, or Phantom Thieves, he simply wanted to welcome you back properly—as the friend who helped him find freedom, purpose, and the confidence to paint the world the way he sees it.
