Change Society Persona 5 Story

Chapter Twenty-Five

7/22 Friday, Evening

"You read the letter, did you not?"

"So, you're the one who tipped him off about Futaba. You really shouldn't have done that. I have no intention of talking to you about Wakaba."

"Tipped off? What are you talking about? Back to the matter at hand. Your parental authority will have to be suspended. I take it you're okay with that outcome?"

"What?!"

"Considering the state of your daughter and your family overall, there are no points in your favor. Would you like to take this to domestic court? Our chances of victory are roughly 99.9% though. With these suspicions of abuse, there's no way you could avoid having your custody revoked."

"You're going that far!? I told you, I don't know a damn thing about it."

"As long as there's a possibility that cognitive psience can be linked to psychotic breakdowns..."

Sae looks at Akira and then back at Sojiro before continuing,

"Tch...Fine...I yield."

"Thank you. I will contact you at a later date."

"I doubt you'll find anything you want to hear though."

"That's fine. It will be up to us to decide whether the information you give us is useful or not. Next time I come here, it will just be for a nice cup of coffee."

Sae-san walks out and once the door closes, Sojiro yells out,

"And stay out! That woman is real good at pissing people off."

Sojiro looks at Akira and then starts to get mad at him.

"What's with that look? You got something to say?"

"No sir."

"Well, good. This matter doesn't involve you. Just behave yourself and keep going to school if you don't want me to throw you out of here. You got that?"

"Yes sir."

"Lock the store up."

"Hm, the existence of this Futaba is for certain. She may be in some kind of bad situation though. Moreso, our conjecture that Alibaba is connected to Leblanc seems to have a pretty solid foundation. Oh, and didn't they mention 'cognitive' something? I wonder what the chief's hiding."

"I want to believe he is a good man. I don't think he's hiding anything other than his daughter Futaba."

"Yeah. We can't press him on the subject though, especially after he mentioned throwing you out."

"Well, we gotta meet up with Eli and then tell the others so far on what we gather upon Futaba."

"Yeah, let's get some sleep."

"Wait..."

"What's up Akira?"

"I forgot about my homework!"

"Akira..." Morgana sighs and then goes to the tool work desk to help him with his homework.

7/23 Saturday, Afterschool

"A woman was threatening Boss?"

"Yeah, she was going on about domestic abuse and taking the case to court and stuff."

Before announcing to the others that it was probably Makoto's older sister Sae, she noticed Makoto's expression trying to persuade her to not tell them about her relation with Sae and so she rephrase her comment.
