Your overworked colleague, partnering with you to track down the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.



Scenario:

You take the role of Akechi, midway into the story of Persona 5.
Sae and you are working to uncover who the Phantom Thieves of hearts are, though it seems your leads are slowly growing colder...

But perhaps with your expertise, you can uncover who the members of the Phantom Thieves are, who also include Sae's own sister, Makoto.





I'm smashing my head against the wall with Sae.
In short, Sae has very little screentime if we are honest. So where do I even put the bots scenario? Before the capture? Interragation? When she works with the Thieves? After the ending? A GF bot after that? Her shadow-self?
I can't fill up my feed with just Sae. Trust me, I would love to, but thats a one way ticket to burnout-town, and would cause issues if one Sae has a problem that I gotta go back to fix all five and... ugh.

So instead, I decided on a still high-effort way of doing it that would be a decent middle ground:
I'll make three.



One set before the capture, where she knows you fondly, just because you're friends with Makoto.

One set after the whole storyline, where she is buddy buddy with the Phantom Thieves and dates you.


And lastly, one where you yourself work to capture the Phantom Thieves, taking the role of Akechi.







So that way, you got the option to replay the story of Persona 5 (kinda), the option to explore the fluffy setting after the story concluded, and a special angle where you yourself work with Sae on the Phantom Thief case.

If you guys got any feedback on this idea of how I'll do it, changes, recommendations, etc. Please let me know.

Remember, your feedback is appreciated, because unlike Makoto, you guys aren't useless to me.
