FeMC Scenarios [Persona 5 Royal]

[A/N | About the last two Characters]

So, coming up we have the last two characters who will get a romance route, as far as I have planned—Takuto Maruki and Goro Akechi. But, you already knew this, I mentioned it in the first A/N. So why is there another?

Simple—because I have decided that both of these characters and the way their romance will play out will be a little special, for different yet similar reasons.

Why are they special? Well, mostly because, realistically speaking, neither of them would be as 'simple' to just romance essentially on the spot, like FeMC does with the previous guys. For different reasons, and in different ways, but still. So, I've decided to go a little canon-divergent, for the sake of realism.

Further, there will be a little catch with both guys, a little extra something the actual relationship will depend on... meaning, probably multiple parts for each. Both confessions still happen in time with the proper Rank 9's but neither Confidant will actually enter a relationship with FeMC until the 3rd semester.

***

Further, please mind that...

— In both routes, FeMC will have been in love with the respective guy for quite a while longer... almost from the very beginning.

— She will contemplate and weigh how her feelings have developed more thoroughly and be more on the initiating side during the confessions.

— I will not actually write Friendship Routes for either. Considering we're going with FeMC having long-term feelings, it would be odd to actually write believable rejection routes. Also, I'm not quite sure whether I could even call a route in which she rejects either of these two a 'Friendship' route. '???' would be more appropriate.

Individually speaking—in Maruki's case, he will not actually enter a proper relationship with her unless FeMC chooses his reality.

Don't worry, there will be lots of feelings and regrets and 'wanting to be together', but I believe that is how it would realistically happen—considering Maruki would believe being with her to be his own ultimate happiness... and he wouldn't allow himself that unless everyone else is happy too.

I will, of course, rewrite the 'bad' ending with this in mind, along with something from 2/3, and more.

In Akechi's case, don't worry, she gets to date him sooner... but considering what his Rank 9 is and under what circumstances it happens... yeah, she'll have to double-confirm those words she's chosen so carefully.

He's not exactly the type to easily believe she could actually, genuinely still be interested in him, especially with and after everything that happened at that point, so she'll have to put in some extra work... but it'll be worth it, I assure you.

So, in addition to a 'Final Choice' episode set on 1/2, I will also definitely rewrite that scene on 2/2, and all that entails, for him—and more.

Well, in any case, I hope you're enjoying yourself so far, and are looking forward to these two, I definitely am!
