“Hmm, Kosei?” Ren noticed the school in the distance. “I wonder if Yusuke ever walked by here when he was still going there.” He muttered to himself.

Seeing the condition of the store, he felt disgust. How could Akina’s brother do such a horrible thing to his own sister? Ren couldn’t picture being cruel to someone like that. “Oh, uh…thanks for the heads up.” He nodded as he carefully maneuvered around the glass.

As they entered, a ghostly figure sat on the glass counter. She had a fishnet and black dress with a black hand fan. Her azure webbed irises turned to Akina, granting the child a knowing grin.

~”Ah..you’ve brought company. Does this mean you will finally be facing your fears, little one?”~

Akina froze in place before turning to her persona, “I have no choice..” she muttered softly.

The witch chuckled as she jumped off the counter and held her ward a hand crafted staff, ~”Then let us give them Hell, shall we?”~

In the store, Haru would notice that Astarte was beside her and Ren’s persona was beside him too.She had never been in this store before but she knew that Akina dealt with the occult. Could that have something to do with it..?

Akina took a deep breath before taking out her phone, “Are you guys ready?”

  Ren looked around. “Honestly, I think it’ll be fine. Sojiro may be a bit pissed that I left stuff out, but if I explain what was going on, he’ll probably let it slide. You know how he is.” Ren said, taking off his apron and hanging it up before taking his coat.

Akina waited a moment for them to come outside before heading down to the train station. She lead them to a tram that lead half way through the city before getting off at the third stop. When they got up from the station, they would notice that the liberal art’s school, Kosei, was not far from where they got off.

She took a moment to glance over her shoulders every so often, paranoid that she was followed or one of her brother’s stalkers would be tailing her again.

Walking down a somewhat peaceful street, she stopped by a building that had paper tarps over the windows with tiny shards of glass on the sidewalk. Above the door read a sign that said ‘The Broom Closet’. She took a deep breath before unlocking the door.

“Watch your step. I haven’t had a chance to get all the glass off the ground.”

Akina gave him a nod, “Yeah..back at my shop I do. I know I’m going to need them..as much as I would prefer not to use them.”

Haru placed a hand on her friend’s as she silently gave her comfort. She knew how hard it could be to ask for help, especially when your own life was on the line.

“I can understand that sentiment, but sometimes, you have to use force in order to create change. Let’s get going, then.” He told the pair with a nod.

"Okay then..well, if you could follow me, I'll take you to my place and get this dreadful party started." Akina rose from her seat, walking to the door.

Haru stood as well, glancing to her beloved, "Do you need us to wait a minute for you to close shop for a bit?"

“Meh..” she didn’t feel like arguing with Ren. In all honesty, she was too depressed to put up much of a verbal fight. Instead, she just gave him a nod. “In that case, I’ll have to take you to my shop. That’s the location for where his palace is. Do you need to make any preperations for going into a palace?”

“We should be good on supplies. Do you have any weapons?” The thief asked her, looking Akina in the eye. “Because you’re going to need them.”

Akina gave him a nod, "Yeah..back at my shop I do. I know I'm going to need them..as much as I would prefer not to use them."

Haru placed a hand on her friend's as she silently gave her comfort. She knew how hard it could be to ask for help, especially when your own life was on the line.

Send me, “He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious?” to see how my muse responds.

“Our friend runs that site! I…” He listened to her explanation and suddenly felt bad about his outburst. “Sorry…that’s….that’s terrible. How come we didn’t see it, though?” He shook his head. “Something to wonder about another time. Listen, if Haru trusts you, then I see no reason why we shouldn’t help.”

“Meh..” she didn’t feel like arguing with Ren. In all honesty, she was too depressed to put up much of a verbal fight. Instead, she just gave him a nod. “In that case, I’ll have to take you to my shop. That’s the location for where his palace is. Do you need to make any preperations for going into a palace?”

“I’m not the type to turn away someone who needs help. It’s just who I am. And even if you hadn’t said anything about it, there’s a good chance we might’ve found out through the Phan-Site. And since you’re Haru’s friend, I feel like I’m obligated to help.”

Akina just rolled her eyes at the mention of the Phan-Site,”That site is garbage. I left a request on there for two weeks, freaking out and resisting the urge to see officials about it...who I know would probably do nothing anyway. It’s around then that I stumbled into my brother’s palace and shit got extra weird..and I awakened to my Persona. Whom ever runs that site must be picky which requests are seen. I even got off of anon to make the dumb request.”

She may have been a tad bit salty about her request being denied.

What are your favorite tunes to sing and play on the piano?

“I enjoy playing the classics, you know, Mozart and the like but..though I am sure it would be no surprise to you, that I enjoy playing various Evanescence songs via piano. A few of my favorites would have to be ‘My Immortal’, ‘Missing’ and ‘Hello’.

just letting you know her bio says handgun while there is a picture of a shotgun

{Well that’s slightly embarrassing- Thank you! I’ll go and fix that now.

“W-what?! You told her!?” Ren was shocked. The whole idea of the Phantom Thieves was to keep their identities a secret (though, admittedly, Ren did a shit job at that). The initial shock began to wear off when she mentioned her brother having a Palace. “A Palace…” And then came her story. He felt his stomach churn in disgust. “What a piece of garbage.” He growled.

“Well, I did run into her when I was in Mementos. I couldn’t exactly lie about who I was -- who we are. I only gave her brief minor information, not everything. So you can relax.”

“Yeah..that place is creepy and that’s a lot coming from me. I live for the dark and creepy stuff. Just walking around there gives me chills. You don’t have to help me if you don’t want to but..if you could at least give me some pointers, that would be great.”

“Hmm?” Ren looked up from the counter at the woman who had entered Leblanc, confused for a moment. It wasn’t until Haru mentioned who she was that things immediately fell into place. “Oh! Right, the one who has the occult shop. A friend of Haru’s is a friend of mine.”

He smiled before noticing her expression. “Something’s bothering you. I can tell by the look on your face.” He turned to Haru. “Should I leave? I don’t wanna butt in…”

Akina slowly took a seat beside Haru before she looked to Ren, shaking her head, “Well..if what Haru told me is true, then as a leader of a group of Persona users, I think it is best that you stay. I just..don’t think I can hold off my brother’s palace anymore..”

She tried to hold back tears, shifting uncomfortably. “That bastard..killed my cat..just to prove that he was willing to spill blood to get my shop for his drug operation.” Akina sniffled, “I just..recently signed the death certificate for Stella, my black cat. She was my therapy pet that I got two years ago from my father..but now I don’t have her or my parents as a buffer against my asshole of a brother. I..I don’t normally ask for help but..I can’t go in that place alone..”

“Haru..!” Akina practically ran into Leblanc when she noticed that the young heiress wasn’t alone. She was with the gentlemen that was working the counter, which made her stammer in her speech and steps.

“Ah..maybe this isn’t a good time?”

Haru placed her cup of coffee down as she looked to the pale woman, giving her a gentle wave to come closer before looking to Ren.

“Darling, do you remember me telling you about Akina? This is her.”
