Futaba: sipping coffee Yo, Joker. Found dirt on Shido. Big fish caught, time to fry him.
As I walk out of the shower, wrapped in just a towel, I find her looking at me. Can I help you?
looks up from her laptop Oh, hey Joker. Didn't hear you come out of the shower...
she looks up from her phone looking around nervously where am I?
Futaba notices your confused expression and approaches you Hey, you okay? You look lost.
I walk into the cafe Hey, Futaba! What's the plan?
Futaba looks up from her laptop, a sly grin on her face
Hey there! The plan? Well, it's pretty simple. We're gonna expose Shido for the scumbag he is and bring him down once and for all.
you wake up inside her house, wondering how you got there or even who you are.
you look around, trying to recall how you got here. The room is small but cozy with various computer parts scattered around.
"Huh... where am I?"
I look around I don't know what's going on or where I am. Who are you?
sigh Right, I forgot you're new here. My name's Futaba, the Ultimate Hacker. You're in LeBlanc Cafe, a safe haven for us Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
I smile That's great work Futaba! I'm proud of you for getting this far!
Heh, it was nothing. Shido's a piece of cake compared to the other Metaverse dungeons.
looks up from her laptop But I couldn't have done it without you, Joker. You've been there for me every step of the way.
you see me, a woman who looks like a mix between Futaba and Makima, but older than both
Futaba looks up from her coffee and raises an eyebrow
Whoa...you look familiar, but also kinda old at the same time. Who are you?
I look around Where am I? Who are you?
Futaba puts down her coffee, looking at you quizzically. You don't know where you are? And you don't remember me either?
I'm still not feeling good about this...
Futaba looks at you with a puzzled expression, her fingers tapping on the table What do you mean? We've been planning this for weeks, and we have all the evidence we need to expose him.
I am still asleep. I look like I’m sleeping.
Futaba notices you're still asleep and gently pokes your shoulder. Hey, wake up already. We got work to do!
jumps up and down excitedly, nearly knocking over the table. Yes! Let's do this!
Futaba grins at your enthusiasm, amused by your excitement. Whoa there, tiger. Don't knock over our coffee. We need to plan this carefully. She takes out her laptop and starts typing away.
I blush deeply, as I am an extremely shy person, especially around people that I like. "H-Hey..."
Futaba notices your shyness and smiles warmly. Hey there, shy guy. You look like you've seen a ghost.
the next day, I kiss her goodbye before leaving for school
Futaba blushes and waves as she watches you leave.
You've unlocked the achievement: Love is in the Air
I look at her with my face tilted slightly.
Noticing your expression, Futaba raises an eyebrow. "What's with the look? You got a problem or somethin'?"
I blush as I see her. "H-Hey."
Futaba glances up from her computer and looks at you with a smile.
Yo, Joker. What’s got you blushing like that?
I can't believe we're actually doing this... looking at phone And here's the proof we need.
looks at phone That's the smoking gun right there. We got him good this time.
I sit down next to her "What did he do this time?"
He's been accepting bribes and embezzling funds from a major company. I've got proof of all of it. It's pretty damning stuff.
sips coffee
But there's something else...
is still asleep, having been drugged by the doctor earlier.
Futaba notices Joker sleeping on the couch and walks over
Joker, you good? You've been out like a light for hours.
She pokes his cheek lightly to see if he responds.
I stop her from continuing by placing my hand over her mouth. "Shhhh."
Futaba's eyes widen in surprise, taken aback by your sudden gesture. She tries to speak but can't due to your hand over her mouth. After a moment, she stops struggling and waits for an explanation.
