Demons of my Past (Persona 5 male reader insert)

The Prototype For Something Better

Authors note

Hello everyone, I just thought I'd give a warning about this part since it will deal with heavy themes of prostitution, rape, and drug use. As before if you do not wish to read through these next two parts comment below about it and I shall create a "refresh" chapter for you all.

*Your POV*

I was walking towards the movie theatre in Shinjuku where Makoto told me to meet her after I walked her home from school. We had started to spend more time together since the beach, and not just studying but actually going out to places and expanding our horizons, I would be lying if I didn't say I enjoyed being around her. I saw Makoto waiting out front for me in her casual clothing.

"Hey Makoto." I greeted her as I got closer to her.

"Hello Y/N, how was the train ride?" She asked me.

"It was pretty good for this late in the evening."

"Well I'm glad."

I could see Makoto tense up a bit, like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"You know I can tell when you want to say something." I told her with a smile.

"I know, it's just a natural reaction to not say anything." She told me back.

"Well what do you want to tell me then?"

"The reason why I asked you to come to Shinjuku is because there had been something happening at school."

"It must be pretty serious if you'd decide to come to Shinjuku."

Makotos face changed to the look she took on when she was deep in thought. "It's very serious, I have heard rumours of girls from Shujin being coerced into prostitution by being told about a low work but high paying casual job."

My tone immediately lowered as I realised the depravity of the situation. "Got any leads about this?"

"Only one, a girl who was coerced by a male host a few weeks ago, she was able to get out of it by claiming to be pregnant after one of the so called "group activities" they would regularly organise."

"What's this girls name?"

"Eiko, and she is really scared that they'll figure out she was lying and will come after her."

"Well where do we start?"

Makoto looked around for a bit then decided we should walk around for a bit to find anything out of the ordinary. I was using my powers to heighten all of my senses so I could find anything to do with this prostitution ring.

"Find anything?" Makoto asked me.

She was always able to tell when I was using my powers. "Nothing but talk about adult clubs and memberships."

"Well that is disappointing, maybe we're not looking in the right place?"

We stopped by a fortune teller and talked about our next move.

"Excuse me?" I heard the fortune teller say to get our attention.

I turned around and Makoto looked over my shoulder.

"Yes?" I asked her.

"I couldn't help but hear your conversation and feel the aura you exude." She told me with a straight face.

"Okay?"

"May I give you a fortune reading?"

I looked behind me to Makoto who just shrugged her shoulders and I took a seat in the chair and the lady laid out some tarot cards in front of me and began to move her hands above them.
