The Phantom Thieves of Hearts Pt. 4

Chapter 35: Phantom Intruders

Int. Sakura Residence – Day

Futaba Sakura opens her eyes, waking up from the nightmare that she was just having. She lifts her head off of her forearms and realizes that she is still sitting in her gaming chair, in front of her desk. Her headphones are wrapped around her neck and a video on her computer is still playing. Futaba pauses the video that's playing on her computer and rubs her eyes. Futaba then turns around and makes sure that there's no one else in her room, besides her. After making sure that she's alone in her room, she sighs to herself, sadly.

Futaba Sakura: I haven't had that nightmare in a while...then again, I haven't actually fallen asleep in quite a while. I forgot how much I hate sleeping, these days. Every time I fall asleep, I have some kind of nightmare. I wish my stupid body didn't need any sleep, at all. I guess that's not how the human body works, though. Stupid human body. Oh well, I'm up, now. Might as well get back to watching whatever video I was watching, before I fell asleep.

Futaba puts her headphones back on and resumes the video on her computer.

Ext. Sakura Residence – Later

Akira and the rest of the members of The Phantom Thieves of Hearts, are standing outside of Sojiro Sakura's house. Morgana pops his head out of Akira's backpack, to speak.

Morgana: First of all, I just want to say, that I'm, completely, against this dumb ass idea!

Makoto Niijima: I actually have to agree with Morgana. I feel like this is kind of risky, Akira. I mean, sneaking into Mr. Sakura's house seems like a really bad idea. I mean, what if he busts us? He may get so upset with you that he'll no longer be able to watch after you while you're on probation.

Ann Takamaki: If that happens, then you'll have to move away, right?

Akira Kurusu: Eh, don't worry. That's not going to happen. Sojiro's busy waiting for an actual customer to show up in Café Leblanc. He never leaves the café during the day so we'll be fine.

Yusuke Kitagawa: Still, it feels wrong to enter Mr. Sakura's home, without his permission. It is impolite.

Goro Akechi: Plus, I don't have to tell you about the consequences of breaking and entering, do I?

Akira Kurusu: You aren't going to arrest me, Mr. High School Detective, are you?

Goro Akechi: I'm not going to...even though, given my current position, I probably should. Although, I'm not here as a detective, I'm here as a member of The Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Akira Kurusu: Good to hear. Anyways, Ryuji, I'm surprised that you decided to come. I mentioned in the text that you didn't have to. Didn't you want to stay by your mom's side while she's still recovering in the hospital?

Ryuji Sakamoto: Eh, she said that I should come because she needed to get some more rest. Plus, I figured this might take my mind off of everything that's happened with my mom.

Akira Kurusu: Fair enough. Don't push yourself too hard, alright?

Ann Takamaki: Um, how exactly are we even going to get inside Mr. Sakura's home? I doubt he leaves the front door unlocked.

Akira smiles to himself.

Akira Kurusu: Don't worry; we have a master lock picker with us.

Akira turns around to face Morgana.

Morgana: I'm glad that you're, finally, recognizing my greatness...hey, wait a mother fucking minute!
