Mementos was always a creepy place to be. It only got creepier the further you go down. In the upper levels it was just a dark tunnel. Nothing major, regular tracks, the occasional Shadow. But when you got into the lower levels, things drastically changed. The tracks turned into bones. The screams of people could be heard from the passing trains. Blood could be seen dripping from the walls. And the Shadows became stronger.

After fighting through another ambush, you made it to the once closed large door at the bottom of Mementos.

Joker: So this is it.

Crow: Ready to get this done Joker?

You look to your team and nod.

Joker: Let's get to it.

You all run through the door, seeing the true distortion of the masses affecting everything. Strange tubes, pulsating with...something, connected and strewn about like veins.

Skull: Jesus, what is this place?

You come across a large hole, many tubes are going down it. As you look over the edge they go deep, too deep for you to see where they end.

King: Joker! Over here!

King grabs your attention, looking at him he is pointing at a few platforms.

Joker: Good eye King.

You all traverse the platforms, coming to a large window. I looks like it belongs to a jail cell.

Mona: It looks like we can go through.

Joker: Let's move then.

You and the other Thieves jump through the window. You land in the middle of a room. The sight puts a lot of red flags in your mind. All around you are other people's Shadows, locked in cells.

Fox: Are those... chains on them? Is this some kind of prison?

Skull: Who's captured here?

King: From what we see, Shadows.

Crow: Listen, there saying something.

Male Shadow: C'mon, don't be out there and come on in.

Female Shadow: Don't open the cells okay? I have no intention on leaving this place.

Fox: They feel safe being here? What're you saying? You're being kept in a prison.

Joker: This reminds me of Kamoshida. They're all slaves.

Old Shadow: That's right... This place is the best in the end. In the depths within is a system that grants desires.

Crow: A system that grants desires?

Skull: Something like that exists here?

King: It's no use, there's no reasoning with these people.

?: Why are you out and about? Where are your restraints?

You turn to the voice. Two guards had entered the room without you knowing.

Skull: Ah crap.

Guard: Removing your restraints is prohibited. Outsiders must be eliminated!

The two guards transform into what looked like, mechanical angels. The battle was tough, the amount of power these guys had were almost at Shido's level. Thankfully though, they aren't like the main Shadows, like Shido, they have a weakness. After finding what it was, you kept abusing it, and took them down. The fight took a lot out of you, so you knew you had to be more sneaky around here as to not fight more. You all went further in, sneaking past more guards, and solving a couple of puzzles. A few higher rank guards had to be defeated to move forward, so you all became a little more tired. But you can't turn back now.
