Working With Phantoms

Much Trouble

June 14th

Madran arrived back from school and found Elia, who seemed more stressed than before.

"Hey, mom, what's up?"

Elia looked over at madran and smiled a bit.

"Oh, good, you're back. Well, another letter came."

"Oh dear..."

Madran took a note that Elia had in her hand and saw that it was addressed to her.

"Well, I kinda saw this happening..."

Madran then opened the note.

"Well, it says 'To Madran Farjis,' so at least is isn't at you."

Madran then read the note to herself.

"'Dear Madran Farjis, it appears that you have ignored my warning. As I said from the last letter, any further activity in the Metaverse will be severely punished. Travel Mementos and go after any more targets at your own risk, for I shall be pursuing you just as my accomplices have. From, Mitsuru Kirijo.'"

"This is... troubling. Again, I saw this happening, but I don't know quite what she means."

"It's probably empty in the ways of a threat."

Madran then set the letter down.

"Madran, I'm not saying that you should stop this Metaverse thing, I mean, it's amazing, but I really..."

Elia appeared to tear up a bit.

"I'm just concerned."

Madran then hugged Elia.

"Hey, it's fine. I mean, some stuff could possibly go wrong, but I'm not worried at all when it comes to how we can fight her back."

Elia nodded.

"Yep. Just, be safe. I don't want to see anything bad happening to you, ok?"

Madran nodded and hugged Elia again.

"Yep. Well, I'll be gone for a bit. Hey, Chic, here!"

Madran called Chicory over and they left to the Velvet Room. However, not many people were there, with only Margaret and Elizabeth chatting.

"Hey, guys, where's Philemon?"

"He went into Mementos. I don't know why, and he didn't say much of it either."

"We should go after him. Are you ready to head out?"

"Yep. Let's go."

Madran and Chicory then nodded at each other and went to Mementos. Once there, Madran saw that there was much ice scattered about the area.

"Uh, this doesn't look good. Nightingale, come!"

Madran then summoned Nightingale and scanned the area. Through that, she picked up two signals up ahead.

"Hey, there are two people up ahead, and I kinda recognize them. Let's go, Clown!"

Madran and Chicory then ran ahead to see more ice and several burn marks on the walls and floor. She then found that the signal was growing stronger and picked up more.

"Wait, hold on, Philemon...?"

Chicory wagged his tail confusedly before barking and summoning Yorick.

"My, it seems that little miss Mitsuru wasn't lying."

"Hey, we can take her. Also, I bet that Philemon's doing great."
