------Next Day: Shujin Academy's Hallways------

Making her way inside the school building, Ann tucked a lock of her platinum blonde hair behind her ear, feeling nervous all of a sudden as her jaw clenched tightly. Today was finally the day when they were going to steal Kamoshida's heart and make him confess all of his monstrous crimes. Last night, she went to visit Shiho in the hospital whose condition was stable, and told her everything about the Metaverse, but even the doctors weren't sure if she'd ever wake up.

But she had hope.

She had to do that for her sake, for her best friend who nearly died because of him, and for everyone involved who couldn't speak a word but succumbed to fear. That was going to change sooner or later because the Phantom Thieves were going to set things right and give courage and hope to those people for a better tomorrow. Because no matter how the darkness of injustice would last, the light of freedom would shine for sure. The sounds of loud murmurs and whispers pulled Ann out of her train of thoughts, making her lift her gaze up to see countless students gathered near the bulletin board while talking among themselves. She made her way through them to see many cards hanging on it, calling cards.

Ryuji really had done it.

"A calling card...?"

"I heard it was already posted by the time everyone got here this morning."

"'Sir Suguru Kamoshida, the utter bastard of lust. We know how shitty you are, and that you put your twisted desires on students that can't fight back. That's why we have decided to steal away those desires and make you confess your sins. This will be done tomorrow, so we hope you will be ready. From, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.'" Ann read the calling card after taking one of them off the board.

That was...

"...Wow." She trailed before looking behind her to see Ren and Ryuji approaching her.

"Not bad, eh? I looked up a bunch of similar stuff online for reference."

"Meh."

"What?!"

"I know what you wanted to say, but it sounded like an idiot trying to be an adult." Ann flipped the card to the other side.

"Your logo's a little lacking too." Morgana pointed at the poorly-doodled logo.

"Ok, y'know what? Th-That ain't true! Right?" Ryuji turned at Ren seeking his help.

"........." Ren just avoided eye contact.

"Hey!"

"Did Mr. Kamoshida do something wrong...?"

"Does this mean the rumors are true?!"

"Wait a sec... is someone gonna take something from Mr. Kamoshida...?"
