Part 1

In the afternoon, by the courtyard.

The same brown-haired girl who was at the principal's office was taking the path between the two buildings in the courtyard through a bridge. The girl in an instant noticed the new transfer Ren standing along with Ryuji, Ann, and Kyoko in a circle. Stopping on her tracks, the girl raised an eyebrow as she felt that something was fishy between their actions.

There, the friends regrouped and seem to have their attention focused on the phone in which Ryuji held.

"A Phantom Phansite?" Ann confirmed.

"Yeah! You guys haven't seen this yet?" Consumed with excitement, Ryuji grinned.

The blonde-haired troublemaker scrolled through the comments given by the fans of the Phantoms, from the so-called Phansite.

"Get with the times!"

"What are those comments?" The curious girl leaned her face on Ryuji's right shoulder.

"Great job, Phantom Thieves.'
'Now I can keep going, too.' 'Thank you for giving us hope." Keeping his sight at the phone of the boy, Ren read the supportive comments to the thieves.

"I thought we'd be ignored, but it looks like some people believe in our calling card." Ryuji smirked.

"It's kind of strange. I was just desperate dealing with my own problems, but seeing people say all this..." The blonde-haired girl said with a soft smile on her face.

"I know! It's pretty moving, right?" Ryuji grinned happily.

"That I agree with you, Sakamoto!" The white-haired pulled an ear-to-ear smile as she placed an arm on the back of the boy.

As for Ren, he was silently watching the two with a hint of disappointment in his eyes...

"Requests? Yup, there are plenty of requests for us. They want us to change the hearts of this or that nutcase." Ryuji spoke.

"That's it! Come with me, you guys!" Morgana suddenly exclaimed, "I've got something to show you."

Part 2

There was countless passerby within the train station. As if a group of delinquents, the group were on standby near the escalators.

"My friend is a shameless deadbeat, so I want to make him apologize." Searching for a serious request, the blonde was reading the comments.

"Rookie! Look for a more serious request!" Morgana scolded.

Before the two could argue, Ann spoke and caught their attention.

"I don't know what to do about my ex who's stalking me. His name is Natsuhiko Nakanohara."

"You have good taste, Lady Ann!" Morgana exclaimed before commanding the blonde, "Hey, Ryuji. Next, bring up the MetaNav."

"Okay, okay. If I recall, I just input the name and place?" Ryuji asked rather unamused and probably felt his pride eating him after obeying the little witty cat.

"No, not this time. The key word is Mementos." Morgana said.

"Huh? Mementos?" Ryuji asked as the app recorded his voice.

"Your destination has a hit. Beginning navigation." The Nav's feminine robotic voice said.

Part 3

All of a sudden, the entire area darkened. Everyone disappeared. No cars passed by. It was only the group of thieves was left.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ryuji called.
