Demons of my Past (Persona 5 male reader insert)

Prison Returned

*The next day*

"Masayoshi Shido is dead."

I walked up to the officer and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up off the ground.

"Repeat." I told him.

"M-Masayoshi S-Shido is dead." He said again, clearly terrified.

I held him in the air for a few more moments.

"Takemi!" I heard the chief yell out.

I dropped the officer and walked back to Saes desk and began to put my coat back on, the chief walked over to me and asked if I was alright but I kept silent, then he said something he probably shouldn't of.

"What does he have to do with you anyway?"

I grabbed the chief by the neck and pulled him close to me.

"He has everything to do with why I am here right now, he nearly took everything from me, he should be rotting behind bars, not rotting in hell for what he did."

I pushed his away and walked straight out the front door and headed towards the nearest train station. I needed to tell everyone, they had to know.

*Skip to Leblanc*

"What do you mean he's dead?" Ryuji asked me.

"I mean he's dead, no details of how he died have been released yet but I imagine they'll want to keep this a secret." I told him.

"Well how could he be killed in a prison anyway, ain't those places designed to stop people from dying?" Ann asked.

"My guess was either it was an inside job or something more...supernatural is happening."

"Supernatural?" Haru asked me.

"The more I look at the bits and pieces about these fake "Phantom Thieves", the more sense it makes that they're using the metaverse."

"But that disappeared years ago." Yusuke told me.

"I know, that's what has me stumped."

We remained quiet for a few moments before Boss spoke up.

"You said this metaverse came to life when people began having deep and distorted desires correct?" He asked.

"That's right, what're you getting at Sojiro?" Futaba answered then asked.

"What if all it takes is one person having those same types of desires to create this metaverse all over again, couldn't that be possible?"

As much as I wanted to deny it, he was telling the truth, even though we stole the treasure it wasn't exactly the treasure that was controlling the masses, it was Yaldabaoth, so mementos could come back into existence.

"But didn't you destroy the treasure?" Akira asked me.

"But the masses would work differently, there are constantly new people coming in and out of the country and their changing views and would definitely have an impact." Futaba said.

"As much as I hate to admit it, she's right, it was the public that allowed Yaldabaoth to come into existence, so it's not impossible for him to return if the public wants it." I told everyone.

"So basically we have no idea if the metaverse is back or if it's just coincidental?" Ryuji asked.

"Pretty much."

We all sat silent for a moment then Makoto stood up quickly and rushed to the bathroom.

"That's the third time since she's gotten here." Yusuke noted.
