Persona 5: Infinity [HIATUS][UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 33 {Iniquitous Cross}

(A/N: Oh. My. God!!! Rand-chan is still alive??! :0
I know, it's been forever and I'm a huge jerk for leaving you guys hanging like that for around 2 months. There was so much that happened in my life in those past months that I'll go more into detail at the end of the chapter. But now I'm back, and hopefully, I'll be able to keep a more constant updating schedule like I used to. So without any further ado, BUCKLE THE FUCK UP!!! 'CUZ HERE WE GO!!!)

------The Next Day: Café Leblanc's Attic------

The sunlight seeped through the small window of Leblanc's old crampy attic, casting beautiful shadows on the wooden floor that took shapes of various items in the room. On the bed, Morgana laid on the pillow near Ren's face who was curled up and breathing softly... the dark-haired boy also had a peaceful expression in his sleep as his chest rose up and down. The chirpy singing sound of a bird that stood on the window's edge outside caused Ren to stir up and turn on his back once more, causing the sunlight to hug the curves of his face ever so perfectly. It was one of those beautiful and peaceful mornings that came on Leblanc and the boy specifically, knowing that he had nothing to worry about since their latest mission ended perfectly... well, minus the new info regarding a black-masked individual roaming in the Metaverse. But he didn't want to worry about that now... not yet--for he longed for a peaceful and sound sleep that he wouldn't always get.

But like all good things must come to an end...

"Hrmmm..." A soft groan came from Ren as he rolled on his side.

"Shut up, phone..." His voice came muffled after he buried his face into the pillow.

That was it.

He snapped his eyes wide open before looking at Morgana who was far awake ahead of him and stretching his limbs. The raven-haired stretched his own arms above his head while yawning from exhaustion, hair messy and tangled from tossing around, before grabbing his phone.

"Hello...?" Ren picked up the call, still half asleep.

"Hello...? It's me, Makoto. Were you sleeping?" Makoto asked on the line.

"I'm still asleep, Makoto."

"I assume it's OK if you're able to make such jokes. There's something I feel I should let you know. Kaneshiro contacted me."

"What...?"

"Kaneshiro?!" Morgana seemed alarmed, causing Ren to put Makoto on the speaker.

"He said he's calling off our debt. It seems he's disposed of all the photographs as well."

"I see..." Ren sighed in relief.

"And, um... my sister and her team have taken him into custody."

"What?!" Morgana widened his eyes.
