The search for this girl… For Anja… If the group wished to handle the task they would need more information on who is behind this. And Ann was the only one who knew what Anja even looked like. Yet when trying to bump into her at the usual place, the place the two had met, it led to nothing. And the more days passed the more uneasy Ann became. What if it was already too late? What if Anja had already made the rash decision and just went for it? It was scary but it was a possibility. One she didn’t want to consider but one she had to consider… It made this all the more urgent in the end.
After all, Anja looked really out of it for one reason or another. It would put anyone off to be completely honest. It was not easy to look at, even harder to interfere. So who knows what ideas she had gotten by then… It was all troubling. The more time she loses the higher the possibility… Was there really nothing she could do however? Is this really going to end up like another Shiho situation, except with an even worse outcome!? No, she had to push it. She wasn’t going to just sit there! But… The longer this took the more helpless she became.
What made matters worse was that she only had a first name. No last name or anything to go off of. Anja was not exactly an uncommon name on its own when said out loud. There could be more than one Anja in this crowd. And the note… There was only a slim chance that someone would recognize that handwriting… This was hopeless. They knew nothing about Anja herself, nothing at all. So there was really nothing to go off of… This cannot be hopeless, can it!? Ann refused to believe that! And yet she was at the brink of thinking so… If it had not been for a sudden text message within the chat.
J: ‘Hey. Mishima sent me something.’
R: ‘Ey yo!? A big target I hope.’
J: ‘No.’
R: ‘Damnit!’
J: ‘But we might want to take a look, he said.’
Y: ‘It is worth checking out, is it not?’
M: ‘Please, send it in. I’m curious.’
And then an attachment had been sent into the group chat, a screenshot. At first Ann thought nothing of it. A screenshot of a message… Until she read a little closer.
‘ Hello. I’m writing on this forum because I have a request to make.
You see, there is someone I know for a long while who has been terrorizing students. I’m not sure of her reasoning yet I don’t care. She has gone too far! Her name is Watanabe Maki.
Maki is known to spread rumors about people she chooses. And these people usually end up being isolated and bullied… Sometimes to the point of ending their lives. Or at least most were close to doing so.
I have a friend who had been pushed to the point and wanted to throw themself onto the train rails. Yet someone had prevented it at the last second. My thanks go out to that person.
In any case, when I asked them why they had done this they eventually answered me that it was due to Maki’s rumors. She has been doing this to them since middle school and the words are finally getting to them. They also wanted me to show the note they had written before yet it seems that they have lost it… They did look serious however.
I don’t know what to do anymore… No one wants to listen to a word I say! And my friend is at a loss, who knows what they might do! So please, if there is any way that the Phantom Thieves could help I would appreciate it!

A friend who has written a note yet lost it, was about to throw themself onto the rails yet someone had stopped them at the last second… Could it be…
A: ‘Do you think this could be related to Anja!?’
J: ‘It sounds possible.’
A: ‘Then what are we waiting for!? We have to hurry!’
And even if it wasn’t her, someone could lose their life here!
A: ‘We need to go to Mementos as soon as possible!’
R: ‘Yo, someone’s riled up for this.’
A: ‘Of course I am!’
A: ‘I’m not planning to just sit here and watch!’
M: ‘I do understand your sentiment. However, we shouldn’t go unprepared.’
A: ‘Right…’
M: ‘I’ll leave it to our leader. Please inform us when you’re ready.’
A: ‘But don’t take too long you hear!?’
Right, everyone had to agree… But from what Ann could read everyone was at least on board with helping out. Thank goodness… Alright, whoever this is they couldn’t leave that person hanging! Maybe this was actually referring to Anja… Who knows. Only one way to find out.
