I walked to the steps of Shujin Academy and waited out there for a few minutes. I had a hoodie and jeans on. I waited until I saw Ryuji. He seemed a bit distraught. When he walked closer to where I was, I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the alleyway I was in.
"Hey, man, what the hell was that for?" he asked.
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
"Who the hell even are you?"
I pulled back my hood and looked at Ryuji.
"Y-Y/N? How did you even get here?"
"I told my mom I wasn't feeling well and she left me home alone. I came here as soon as she left."
"Why are you even here?"
"Where the hell is Ren?"
He sighed, "Figured you wanted to know where he is."
"I'm just worried about him."
"Aren't we all?" another voice said.
I turned around and saw a black cat with blue eyes.
"Did that cat just talk?"
"Don't call me a cat!"
"Morgana, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Wanted to see if you were coming to the meeting."
"What meeting?" I asked.
"You don't seem at all fazed by a talking cat," Morgana said.
"I've seen weirder," I said.
"Ok then. Come on, Ryuji! We've got to go! They're waiting for us."
"Yeah yeah, I'm coming."
"Wait, if you're going, I'm coming too."
"Should we let her?" Morgana asked.
"I think we should. She deserves to know what happened to Joker."
"Joker?" I asked.
"Ren," Ryuji said.
"Oh."
"Come on, the meeting place isn't too far from here."
I followed Ryuji around the area. We ended up going up some ladders that were attached to the side of an apartment building. We made it to the rooftop and saw there were a few people sitting there.
"Who is she?" one asked.
"This is Y/N. Y/N, these are the Phantom Thieves," Ryuji said.
"Nice to meet you."
"Why is she here?"
"She's worried about Joker."
"Aren't we all?"
"I've known him longer than any of you. Please, just tell me where I can find him."
One sighed and wrote down something and handed it to me.
"That's where he is."
"Is there any way to get him out of there?"
"There is, but it costs you an arm and a leg."
"That much?"
"Hell yeah. We're all trying to pitch in some money to help him get out of there. If we don't, he has two years in jail."
I sighed, "When will it start?"
"We were given a month to collect the money we need."
"How much is it?"
