Steven Universe's Persona

Finally

"These people have come here because of some rumors."

---------------- Target

"Forgive them, Yusuke. They are just worried for their friend." Madarame said.

"Right, sensei....." Yusueke solemnly said.

"I apologize for barging into your conversation. Of course, not everyone would like a cranky old man like myself." He chuckled.

"Uh... that's not exactly what they meant..." Steven mumbled as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"However, please keep it down, so the neighbors won't hear. Now, if you excuse me..." The old man walked back inside the house.

Yusuke went quiet for a second then bowed to the group in apology. "I must apologize.."

"Oh no, it's fine. It was our fault" Akira said to Yusuke.

The blue haired boy lit up and said, "Maybe you'll believe in sensei if you saw the painting!" He took out his phone and showed a photo to the group. "This is the very painting by Madarame that inspired me to become an artist: the 'Sayuri'"

"'Sayuri'?" Ann contemplated the painting.

"It's beautiful!" Steven admitted. This art is completely different from Vidallia's work in her garage. It was on a whole different level in its traditional Japanese art style.

"I don't know much 'bout art, but even I could say that this is impressive." Ryuji admitted.

"When I saw you two, I felt the same powerful emotions I felt in this painting." Ann and Steven looked at each other, clearly confused. They both had completely different body types and Steven isn't even a model.

"I believe that drawing both of you might be a part in my pursuit. Please: consider my offer. Now excuse me, I must assist my sensei. I hope we can discuss this some other time." Yusuke left.

-------------------

"I don't understand these accusations." Steven said.

"Yeah, they seem like nice guys." Ryuji added.

"Maybe the Madarame in Mementos was a different person?" Ann questioned.

"Mementos?"

Ryuji ignored Steven. "And I thought we found a new target too..."

Steven pet the black cat that was sitting on the rails. He purred at Steven, then proceeded to meow at the others.

Akira took out his phone; Ann and Ryuji looked surprised.

"It was picking up our conversation?! Madarame has a palace too?"

The cat meowed once again. Steven was confused on what the others were talking about, and why the cat was being so noisy.

He stopped listening to text Connie:

Steven: connie, are you awake?

Steven: looks like you arent...

Steven: the phantom thieves are talking about an app

Steven: they called it the 'meta-nav'

Steven: i think that the cat is somehow talking to the others

Steven: i'm not entirely sure what they are doing right now...

Steven: uh

Steven: do some research on the artist named 'madarame'

Steven: im sorry if i woke you.
