Working With Phantoms

They Grow Up So Fast

May 7th

It had been a few days since the buffet, and Madran was now enjoying her Sunday, aside from the fact that she had to study for exams, which had arrived quicker than she had expected. However, despite her studying, sometimes with Elia's help and sometimes not, she still found time to do random Mementos expeditions and make life for people in Japan just a little better. However, once the 7th reared its gorgeous head, Madran found herself called to hang out with the newly-formed Phantom Thieves, with Suga and Sheila being dragged along. They arrived at the subway stop before the way up to the surface was there, with the lovely group of seven gathering shortly.

"Hey, guys, what's up?"

Madran looked around at Akira, Ryuji, and Ann, with Morgana poking his head out from Akira's bag.

"Well, Ryuji, you had been wondering about a new target?"

Morgana jumped from Akira's bag and landed next to him.

"Uh, yeah, how're we going to find one?"

"Well, since we have that lovely Phan-site, let's go check that."

"Huh? A what?"

"It's like yours, Madran."

Akira took out his phone and looked around.

"Oh, the requests?"

"Yeah. Look for someone with a full name."

"Why that?"

"So that the Metanav can nail 'em."

Morgana strutted around as Akira checked his phone.

"Hmm, none of these make sense or have a name... wait, I found something!"

Akira cleared his throat.

"My ex-boyfriend won't stop stalking me. His name is Natsuhiko Nakanohara, if that helps."

Sheila nodded.

"Hmm. That sounds promising. We had someone of a similar name, but before we got to him, Margaret suddenly turned around, muttering something about 'The Reaper' or whatever."

Morgana looked up at Sheila.

"Maybe, it was a strong shadow. I don't know much about this Margaret person, but she seems competent."

"Well, we thought she had gone crazy until I picked up, ya know, a very strong and scary shadow signal that was heading right for us, so we booked it."

Akira nodded and went over to the Metanav.

"Um, Natsuhiko Nakanohara?"

The Metanav accepted the name, and Morgana spoke up again.

"Oh, just say 'Mementos' as the palace."

"Mementos?"

"Yeah, that's M-e-m-e-n-t-o-s."

Akira followed the next step, and turned to Morgana.

"Hey, what about the corruption?"

"That's all we need. Let's get going!"

Akira nodded and activated the Metanav, with the group being taken into Mementos. However, Madran saw that they were in the same place as they were in before they left, aside from there being no people around.

"Um, we normally don't go up here. This is weird..."

Ryuji looked around.

"What the hell's going on?! Is this is palace?"
