My mother and father helped me and Ren get our things together and into their cars. We managed to fit all of our things between the two cars. Unfortunately, we had to make another trip to get Morgana and Scarlet into the apartment. Well, Morgana did fit in Ren's backpack. Which meant we only had to come back for Scarlet. We signed off the papers and headed towards the apartment building. Ren had to give my father directions to the place while we followed them. When we arrived, Ren and I headed inside and got everything squared away with Jake.

"I did mention rent, but it will be a yearly rent," Jake said.

"Thank you," Ren said.

"I hope you like the place," he said.

My mother and father pulled up their cars as close as they could. We grabbed a few boxes and headed to our room. Ren had the key and Jake was making a spare for me. We put everything in the bedroom of the apartment. When we were finished, my father went back to get Scarlet.

"Call us if you need anything," she said.

"I will, mom," I said and hugged her goodbye.

"Take care of her, Ren."

"I will, Mrs. L/N."

"Alright. Your father should be here in a few minutes to say goodbye and to drop off Scarlet."

"I'll visit, mom. Don't worry."

"Ok," she said and hugged me. "I love you, sweetheart."

"Love you too, mom."

She gave me one last hug and walked out of the apartment room.

"I wish I had a mom like yours," Ren said.

"When was the last time you talked to your mom?"

"When I left to go to Shujin."

"That long ago?"

"Yeah."

"We should stop over there today once we're done unpacking."

"Alright," Ren said.

My dad came by and dropped off Scarlet. She wagged her tail as she licked my face. I said goodbye to my dad and he left. We got started with unpacking, which didn't take long. Afterwards, Ren and I were sitting on the balcony with Scarlet and Morgana.

"When do you want to head over?"

Ren looked down at his phone, "In a few minutes. I want to enjoy the view here."

"It is really nice, isn't it."

"I've got a better view," he said as he looked at me.

I chuckled and turned towards him, "That's why I love you."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pressed my lips against his and he kissed back. When we parted, I place my forehead on his. He smiled at me and gave me a quick peck before pulling away.

"I'm ready to talk to my parents."

"Let's go."

Ren and I walked out of the apartment building and headed towards his house. It's been quite a long time since I last saw his house. When we got there, his mother was getting the mail and was heading back inside. We both walked up the steps and Ren stared at the front door for a moment. I looked at him, then grabbed his hand. I leaned into him and smiled.

"You'll be fine, Ren. They're your parents. They're not going to stay mad at you forever."

"I know," he said. With his free hand, he rang the doorbell and waited. A figure came to the door and opened it up. It was his father. His father was about his height. He had messy black hair like Ren's. He had a slight beard and he looked confused.

"Ren?"

"Hi, dad."

"Holy shit. Honey, Ren's back!"

His mother walked up to the door and looked at Ren.

"Hi, mom."

"Come in, Ren. Hi, Y/N. So nice to see you," she said.

"Nice to see you," I said.

We walked inside and sat down in their living room.

"Would you like some tea dear?" she asked.

"I'm good for now."

"Ren, would you like some?"

"I'm good," he said.

We sat down and we began talking about all the things that had been happening. When we got to the point about us being together, his mother and father were happy for us. We told them about our apartment.

"Oh, Ren, did you want to grab somethings from your room? We'll be more than happy to drive you back to the apartment," his mother said.

"Sure. Want to help?" he asked me.

"Sure," I said and got up.

We walked up to his room and I helped him organize some things. While he was in his closet, I walked over to his bookshelf and found a photo album. I opened it up and it was mostly pictures of me and Ren. I flipped towards the back and saw a few were from when he was younger. He was so cute when he was young.

"What did you find?" he asked from his closet.

"Nothing," I said as I slipped out one of his photos and put it in my pocket. He'd kill me once he found out I took one of his photos from when he was younger. I helped him finish up and we took the things downstairs. His father took them out to the car and we talked a little bit before heading back over to the apartment. We showed them around and that's when they got to see Morgana and Scarlet. They said goodbye and we were alone for the rest of the night.

I was talking to Morgana while Y/N was in the shower.

"You want me to do what?"

"There was one more mission that needs to be taken care of."

"How do you know about this?"

"I went back into the metaverse and saw there was something unusual."

"And that is?"

"There's another issue with someone. It's nothing like Kamoshida. The person's shadow is not like him at all. They're more of a conflicted shadow. It seems like their life has been through hell."

"How did you find it?"

"I was walking along and found another palace. Although it doesn't look like a palace."

"What does it look like?"

"It's a house. It looks like a normal house."

"What does it look like on the inside?"

"I don't know. But I think we need to call up the Phantom Thieves."

"If this gets me in trouble," I began to say.

"This won't."

"Why?"

"Because I know who the shadow is."

"Who does the shadow belong to?"

"Y/N."
