Y/n wanted to go to the park where he met Rei so he can remember and think about her. He first wanted to go get a little bit of food. When he arrived he saw someone running away from the shop. It was the familiar underling, Linda. She saw the masked thief standing across the street and realized what could happen if she was captured by him.

Linda: (in head) No! Not him!
Y/n: (in head) i should chase her.

Linda ran trying to lose the thief. She ran into an alleyway, but saw it was a dead end and heard the sounds of chains getting louder and louder. She turned around and saw that he was right there. She closed her eyes and turned away, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that he was close, but not attacking.

Linda: a-are you... Gonna k-kill me?
Y/n: ... No... But i must say, your thieving skills were... Lacking so to speak.
Linda: i haven't eaten... S-sorry.

Y/n placed his hands on the underlings shoulders and spoke in a serious, yet gentle tone.

Y/n: a normal thief such as your self can't keep thieving forever. Despite your circumstances, i know you have a bright future ahead of you. I'll let you have what you stole, but promise you'll cease your thieving and devote yourself to creating a bright future for yourself.
Linda: ... I... I promise. What's your name?
Y/n: ... The name's Y/n

Y/n let go of Linda and patted her head. He left the alleyway and a new card appeared.

Y/n: she was never evil. She needed to work against her own morals just to survive.

Y/n grabbed the card and felt Linda's strength growing alongside his.
Y/n ate a little bit a food and headed towards the park. Upon arriving he saw a familiar business suited woman sitting on a bench. She turned and saw a masked thief looking at her.

Rei: o-oh. H-hi... Y/n
Y/n: ... Rei... You're ok.
Rei: i'm sorry i didn't tell you about my other form. I thought you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore.

Y/n looked at Rei and sat down right next to her. He then smiled through his e/c eyes

Y/n: i don't care if you can become a CPU. What really matters is the fact that you're my friend.
Rei: you... Really don't care that i can change myself dramatically?
Y/n: i don't. You're a good friend and that's what i like about you.
Rei: ... Thank you, Y/n

The two spent the evening having yet another long conversation until the sun went down. Y/n felt the power of the high priestess card growing more in him and Rei.
Y/n went back to the basilicom to hang out with Plutia. He showed up and found her laying on the couch.

Plutia: heyyyyy Y/n.
Y/n: i was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me before i call it a day.
Plutia: suuuuuure.

Plutia transformed into iris heart and gave a seductive look at y/n.

Iris heart: you could spend the night here with me~

The masked thief gave a sigh and lifted Iris heart in bridal style.

Iris heart: what are you doing?
Y/n: i'm essentially taking you out on a date. Do you want me to put you down?
Iris heart: No. I actually find it kinda charming that you can carry me like this with ease.

Y/n took iris to a restaurant and even paid for everything. The two left the restaurant and started to walk back to the basilicom.

Iris heart: why is it that you treat me with so much kindness?
Y/n: you maybe somewhat insane in that form, but i know you really care about the team, and you should know that we all really care about you as well.
Iris heart: ... I do care for you the same way you do to me.

Iris patted y/n's head. As Y/n headed back to the apartment, he felt the strength card empowering him and Plutia more and went to bed.
The next day he woke up and wanted to continue deepening his friendship with his last remainig team members. He went to Planeptune's basilicom to hang out with Nepgear. Inside he saw she was sitting and having some coffee and cookies.

Nepgear: hi, Y/n.
Y/n: hey gears. Can i have some?
Nepgear: of course.

Y/n sat right next to Nepgear.

Nepgear: i wanted to know how you eat. Your lips, chin, and entire neck is always covered in that soft cloth. I'll feed you. Say ahhhh.

Nepgear grabbed a cookie and tried to feed it to y/n. The cookie passed right through the cloth on y/n's lips and he took a bite out of the cookie (like a waddle dee). This took her by surprise, but y/n acted like it was nothing weird. The two spent the day drinking some coffee and eating cookies. Y/n felt more power in himself and Nepgear with the Fool Card.
After spending time with Nepgear, y/n went to Lastation to try again in befriending Uni. He went inside her room and signalled he wanted to spend time with her.

Uni: ... No
Y/n: (in head) Nani? I just want to spend time with you.
Uni: it really doesn't matter if you keep this up. I've already made my choice.

Y/n left the place with a depressed look. He went to a coffee place to hang out with himself. (Trust me he'll befriend her eventually).

Y/n: (in head) maybe a little more coffee can make me feel a bit better.
???: hello what would you- y/n?

Y/n looked up and saw that Linda was working at the coffee place he entered (couldn't really find a better job for her, at least not for now).

Y/n: you got a job?
Linda: i thought about what you said. I've decided to devote myself for a better future like you said.
Y/n: nice to see you're making progress.

Y/n spent the afternoon at the coffe place with Linda and even helped her out a little til it got dark.

Linda: i'll keep doing what i have to do to better myself. For you.

Y/n gave the underling a pat on the head and left. He felt the power of the hanged man card filling Linda and him up with more power.
Y/n went to Lowee to go see the twins again. After going into their room, the twins happily greeted him.

Rom and Ram: Y/n!

The two grabbed each of y/n's hands with their smaller hands and dragged him into the room.

Y/n: calm down little ones.
Rom: sorry. We just got excited that you came.
Ram: we really wanted to see you and play with you again.
Y/n: such adorable things to say.

Y/n spent the night playing with the twins. After the time came, y/n read them another story before they would go to sleep.

Ram: wish... You would stay... Longer... Zzz
Rom: you're... Our best friend... Y/n... Zzz.

Y/n smiled with his e/c eyes and let the two CPU candidates rest. He knew their strength was growing more with his with the help of the Magician card.
Y/n went back to IF's apartment and used the special key IF gave him. He then went on the couch and slept for the night. Tommorow would be another day...
