The team walks up to the doors of the Palace together.
Makoto: Futaba's Palace... So this is how she thinks of that house.
Yusuke: Who knows what may await us within... What is your call, Joker? Shall we head inside?
Akira: Let's go.
Ann: Okay. We'll find more about Futaba's secrets in here, right?
Makoto: Indeed. Well, let's head inside.
[Y/n] and Ryuji push the doors in front of them open and let everyone else walk inside before the doors shut once they release them.
Ryuji: Whoa, it's so nice inside! Is this place air conditioned or something?!
[Y/n]: Seriously, where's the giant block of ice cooling this place down so much? I'd like to take a nap on it right about now.
Makoto: It may be because Futaba's room in reality has AC pumping through it. Either way, this is certainly a relief...
Ann: Huh, our clothes still haven't changed even now. This has never happened to us before.
Yusuke: It is refreshing that she doesn't see us as a threat... But we are completely surrounded by walls.
Morgana: I guess this is a tomb... It's probably not made to be easy to get into. Anyway, let's explore.
Going up a flight of stairs, they reach a sand pit with pillars reaching up, just tall enough that the Thieves can jump on them. Once on the other side, there's a much larger flight of stairs awaiting them.
Ann: These stairs go pretty far.
Ryuji: There're way to goddamn many...
Morgana: Don't ask for too much. You should be happy we're not being attacked as we ascend.
[Y/n]: Don't jinx us, Mona.
Morgana: More importantly, I can totally sense the Treasure ahead. We're getting pretty close now!
Makoto: These stairs seem to be heading to the heart of the pyramid. I wonder if that's where the Treasure waits...
[Y/n]: Welp, time to find out whatever does wait there.
After a long climb up the stairs, they spot a figure in white robes nearly at the top.
Morgana: Hm? There's someone there!
Ryuji: Hey, is this..?
Morgana: That's Futaba's Shadow. It isn't the real her.
Ryuji: Oh yeah, you've seen her face. True. This one's kinda dressed like a queen.
Makoto: So you're Futaba Sakura...
Futaba lets out a huff.
Ryuji: (walking closer) Hey, where's the Treasure?
Makoto: It's doubtful that you wouldn't know where it is.
Ryuji: Hey, say something.
Ann: Don't be like that! (walking next to him) I'm sorry, Futaba-chan. It's okay, there's no need to be scared. So, can you tell us where your most treasured possession is?
Futaba doesn't answer.
Yusuke: (sighs) This is going nowhere.
Ryuji: Let's just leave her.
Ann: Will you guys shut up for a bit?!
Futaba: Those who plunder my tomb. Why have you come?
Ann: She talked... But...
