{Y/N}, a regular student at Shujin Academy thought she would never experience life to its full potential. Not having many friends, having a little over average grades, and with looks that could not possibly stand out, she was seen as an outcast. But alas, her wish came true when bumping into the new transfer student of Shujin Academy...Akira Kurusu. From then on, her life would take a full 180° turn upon meeting him. {ALL CHARACTERS EXCEPT STATED OTHERWISE BELONG TO ATLUS. I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO ATLUS & THIS IS ALL A WORK OF FICTION}

They say to watch out for the quiet ones, but how many people actually listen to that advice? Since the start of high school, you had become the quiet one. The one who observed, listened, empathized, and drew conclusions. As such, you could read everyone else like an open book. Except for him. Living among exaggerated rumors, crafted lies, and hidden truths, you didn't know who or what to believe when it came to the calm criminal in the class. But the slight curiosity for his true identity quickly turned into a personal mission. You wanted to understand the flame of defiance that danced within his eyes, a look that clashed with his otherwise "good boy" appearance and attitude. Was it defiance out of a purely rebellious nature, as his record indicated? Or did he have a quiet purpose, like his outward persona? You were determined to find out his truth... Even if it killed you. ~~~ This will be a SLOW BURN. If that is not your cup of tea, I'm sorry. There will also be key end-game spoilers in later chapters. I am warning you now. Persona 5 and all associated characters belong to Atlus. Any additional characters added with names similar to real life people are purely coincidental. Key (More will be added as needed): (Y/N) or (F/N) = Your first name (L/N) = Last name (H/C) = Hair color (E/C) = Eye color (F/C) = Favorite color ~~Original cover art by me~~
