(The Next Day, Evening, Cafe Leblanc)

As morning came, Haru had gone back home only for her to call up everyone and ask to talk to them; as evening came, everyone met up back at Leblanc, where Haru told everyone about whats going on

"Thats horrible", Ann said, "it's that same fiance guy, right, you know what's going to happen...",

"Based on what Haru just told us, she'll be taken to his house on October 11th", Morgana said, "that means our deadline is the 10th",

"But if we trigger a change of heart in your father, he'll definitely be taken by the police", Yusuke stated, "the label of a "criminal's daughter" will forever stick with you... your current living situation may change as well",

"If I accept a happiness based on the misfortune of others, I'll be no better than my father', Haru explained, "and to be honest... I've actually left a request on the Phantom Aficionado Website before",

"She did so around the time we were mulling over who to target next", Morgana stated

"But... the Phantom Thieves didn't make a move...", Haru said a bit disappointed but then cheered up, "that's when I met Mona-chan, I thought it was fate, I made my decision then, if the Phantom Thieves wouldn't act, I'd do it myself..."

"The Mental Shutdowns, Treasure, and finally, the change of heart... our interests have come together", Yusuke stated

"From here on, we may be going up against the culprit behind those mental shutdown occurrences", Morgana explained, "This'll be different from our training in Mementos, you better brace yourselves",

(The Next Day, Metaverse, Okumura's Palace)

The Phantom Thieves re-entered the Spaceport, their first obstacle was the bio metric door; however, thanks to Noir, they were able to go through the door, however the thieves were stopped by Shadow Okumura

"What are you doing here", Shadow Okumura asked with a curious yet angry tone, as the Phantom Thieves turned their heads; they saw Shadow Okumura wearing what looked to be of a spacesuit with a villain cape

"This is insane on so many levels", Panther stated

"I thought I told you not to associate with vulgar people", Shadow Okumura yelled as a cognition of Haru's Fiancée walked up to Shadow Okumura

"Him..., did he come into the palace too", Noir asked confused

"No, he might look the same, but that isn't the real person", Mona explained,"remember what I explained to you earlier",

"You mean about the cognition thing", Noir asked as Mona nodded his head

"What are you mumbling about" Shadow Okumura asked as Noir then stepped forward

"Do you recall what I said before, that I would do my best for you", Noir said with a hint of anger, "this is my answer to that"

"Are those... the rumored Phantom Thieves... I see", Shadow Okumura said as he then began laughing, "you're handing them over to me as a plea for forgiveness, "overcome failure at any cost, even if it means betraying others"... you truly embody the Okumura motto, very well, join me"

"Why do you only ever think about gains and losses", Noir asked, "that's why the company has a bad reputation... all because you treat people like they're tools",

"To gain, you must give... one must be resolved to give even more if they wish to stand above others", Shadow Okumura said, "we are on vastly different levels... and soon, I will rise to a new stage--the political world, the cold reality of kicking people down is a part of business, virtue and sentiment are for losers, Okumura Foods shall be the foundation of my victory",
