#so it feels to her like she hasn't seen akira for a very very long time

@phantomuheist - Long Time No See

"Oh, I couldn't trouble you. I appreciate it, but--"

She paused, stopping herself from finishing her sentence, because it wasn't the truth. As much as humility was appreciated in Japan, Akira was different. He never expected her to put on a face, or to adhere to subtle rules she never knew existed.

Akira was kind and understanding; that was what she admired the most about him. She appreciated his empathy, and so for once, rather than pushing him away, she decided it would probably be best to take him up on his offer.

"Um... Actually, I'm not going home just yet, but... I'd still like your company, if that's okay with you. Could we maybe go to the park in Inokashira? It's so peaceful there, and... I'd like to chat a bit more."

One of us is dead

chapter ten - missions

chapter nine | chapter eleven

Genin: the ranking has two very different meanings.

Back in Kirigakure, only those who emerged victorious in killing their comrades were made genin. And even then, the genin were overworked with missions beyond their calibre.

But here in Konoha, genin life was much different. After making genin a week ago, Team Two have completed an overall 15 missions, all being D-rank and C-rank of course.

You'd think that especially during a war, the village would need more manpower to complete more of the important missions, but that wasn't the case when our team was inundated with 'missions' ranging from dog-sitting, grocery shopping and watering a civilian's garden.

Furthermore, for some reason, Kushina sensei hasn't been leading any of our missions as of late. She named Shisui as team captain during her absence. Perhaps the village needs all the jounin to be completing the more pressing missions, leaving us genin with the more boring of the lot.

Finally, Team Two received a mission with Kushina Sensei and was probably the most exciting mission we've had so far. Although it was a C-rank mission, it did require us to move out of the village. We had to travel to Sunagakure to give the Kazekage a scroll.

"Honestly, when we were told we had to go to Suna for this mission I got so excited. But there's nothing exciting about 500 miles of sand." Akira sighed, as we jumped through the trees, returning home after the mission.

"At least we were able to get out of the village for a while," Kushina replied.

I quickly noticed Shisui slowly becoming more and more retired and isolated. He hasn't said a word for a while now and it was becoming more and more unsettling by the minute. Sensei even picked up on his strange behaviour, before taking a deep breath as she retired to the same expression Shisui had plastered over his face.

I haven't known him for long, but it doesn't take much to notice his irrational behaviour. I quickly turned around to face him, and I sent him a small smile to see if he was okay, yet his same stoic expression never faltered one bit.

That's when it dawned on me. Two shinobi were ahead of us, waiting in the trees. I scanned the branches, my senses on high alert. They were skilled—their large chakra stores betrayed their presence. But I could feel them, the weight of their killing intent pressing against my mind like a cold, dark tide.

"Who pissed in your milk, Shisui? Lighten up, will you? I'm starting to think you're dead." Akira chuckled.

"30 km ahead north-east." Was all Shisui said as we continued to jump through the dense trees.

Sharp reflexes, Uchiha. I thought to myself.

"2 ninjas are waiting for us ahead," Kushina said, pulling out a kunai. Judging from their chakra stores, they were quite powerful too.

We made our way to where the ninjas were supposed to be, kunai in hand, ready for an attack.

But they were nowhere to be seen. Or so I thought.

An earth-style jutsu soon ripped through the earth separating Shisui and Sensei from me and Akira, before a series of water-style jutsus were thrown our way. I looked around to see if my teammates were okay. Akira seemed fine; well, he was sturuggled to get up from the impact of the attack.

On the other hand, Shisui was nowhere to be seen.

I rose to my feet, realising one of the ninjas had coated their arm with an earth-style jutsu and was quickly charging towards me. I must use lightning to nullify the attack.

"Lightning style: Jolt clamp!" I shouted, running straight to the ninja as my jutsu paralysed the surrounding muscles in her arm. The ninja stumbled back, gripping her limp limb before shouting out to me.

"Would you look at that? Princess has left us for the Leaf," the taller of the two shinobi retorts, as he walks towards me.

Shit, shit, shit.

They're after me. I need to dispose of them fast before the others find out.

"You have the wrong person! I have no idea what you're talking about." I spat, holding my kunai in a defensive stance.

"Stop hiding Kunoichi Thirteen," the other ninja started to rant, before she turned to her partner, "Cash, check her ID."

The other ninja came behind me, pinning my wrists to my back using one hand, the other pulling back my hair as he examined my neck. "There's nothing there."

Shit, shit, shit. I need to shut them up fast.

I slammed my head to meet the ninja's nose, causing him to loosen his grip on my hair. Just as I was preparing for an attack, Shisui popped out of the trees he was hiding in.

About time, stupid Uchiha.

"Fire style: Fireball jutsu!"

The two ninjas jumped back to dodge his attack. But after seeing a glimpse of his blaring sharingan, they immediately started to back away.

"It's... it's Shisui of the body flicker." They stammered as they turned away, afraid to take on his visual prowess.

"It looks like they're gone now," Shisui said, offering a hand to Akira as Kushina turned to me.

"Sorry for not helping sooner, I needed to find out who they were after," Kushina stated as she deadpanned her gaze towards me, "and they made that pretty clear."

"What did they want from you Y/N?"

"I'm sure they mistook me for someone else. Honestly, I was so shaken up, I didn't even register what they said to me." I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Did they hurt you?" Kushina asked, holding my face between her hands inspecting for any wounds.

"I think I'm okay," I replied, "I'm sorry I just didn't expect it."

"Many more of our missions may end up being like this, we need to be alert at all times," Shisui said before we started making our way back to the leaf.

The more I play the role of an innocent Y/N Uzumaki, who's estranged from her family, the more pressure I'm under. It won't be long until more shinobi from The Byakua try to come get me. Even worse, what if the masked man and Zetsu chase after me?

I need to wrap up my business here in the Leaf, before I am found out.

"I hate having missions and hospital shifts on the same day. I never get a break, do I?" Akira whined as we finally reached Konoha.

"You signed up for this Bakakira, stop complaining." Shisui retorted, earning a moan from him.

"Shisui, can you come with me to fill out the mission report? It'll give you good practise for when you become jounin." Kushina said, giving him the returning scroll from Sunagakure as they flickered to the Hokage tower.

"Want me to walk you to the hospital?" I asked as I turned to Akira.

"Yeah sure."

We walked through the evening streets of Konoha, enjoying the tranquillity of the air around us. The fresh scent of ramen wafted through the air, mingling with the faint aroma of the cherry blossoms which lined the streets. We watched as laughter echoed from the children leaving the academy, weaving between the adults excited from a day of adventure.

"Hey Akira," I ask, breaking the comfortable silence between us.

Ever since I met Akira, one thought has always lingered in the back of my mind, a thought that grew with each day, fuelled by curiosity.

"Why do you work so hard to become a medic, Akira?"

"In all honesty, I never wanted to become a medic," Akira replies, "Actually, I was on track to graduating with Shisui and our other friend Itsuki years ago. We all agreed to graduate early, get put on the same team and become an unstoppable trio. But that year, my father tragically passed away on a mission."

"Oh, I'm so sorry for bringing this up Akira. I'm sorry for your loss," I admitted apologetically, fumbling to change the subject from something so painful.

"Thank you, but it was many years ago. I've had my time to grieve," Akira said, his voice steady yet tinged with a quiet sadness. He glanced at me with a comforting gaze, his eyes soft but resolute, as if he was reassuring me as much as himself.

"You see, he was a medic, a prideful one at that. But during one fateful mission, the entire team wound up critically injured before they could ultimately finish the mission. My father just couldn't let it go.

Shinobi rule no. 103, "No medic shall ever die until they are the last of their platoon". But that meant nothing to my father. He sacrificed his life to make sure that the mission was completed, and he depleted the very last of his chakra to heal his comrades."

His words hung in the air between us, carrying the unspoken memories of a time that had shaped him into the person he was now.

"The news of his death shook me to my core. I knew he was an exceptional shinobi of a high ranking. I guess it never occurred to me that my father could one day be killed on a mission. I started to lose all hope in the shinobi system... everything seemed so pointless. What was the point in going to the academy, training to become a shinobi only to be eventually killed one day?

I stopped going to my classes in the academy, gave up on my training and spent my days wasting my time at home.

It wasn't until my father's funeral that my whole outlook on the shinobi system changed."

Rain relentlessly poured from the dark clouds rolling in. The trees surrounding the cemetery stood tall and still, their leaves barely rustling in the gentle breeze, as if nature itself was holding its breath in respect.

"Why? Why did he have to die?" Akira screamed into the distance; the weight of his grief was palpable, bearing down on him like a physical force. His fists clenched tightly at his sides as tears streamed down his face.

"Akira hold your head up high," The Hokage said, his voice firm yet gentle, as he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Why? Why should I? My father is dead because of this stupid shinobi system," Akira yelled, as anger replaced his tear-filled gaze. His balled fists shook from the intensity of his emotion.

"My dad is dead, and I'm supposed to just accept that? Accept that this is the fate of any shinobi. How long will it be until it's my mom I have to bury? Or my brother?" Akira's voice cracked as he spoke, the thought of losing more of his family becoming too much to bear.

"I know the pain is overwhelming. I too have lost those I held dear to me," The Hokage reassured, "But you must find the strength within you to rise above it. Your father was a very skilled member of my guard. In fact, his will of fire inspired me during the warring period after the Second Great Shinobi War.

He believed that sacrifice was necessary to guarantee prosperity for our future generations. Like how the cherry blossom must shed its old petals for new ones to bloom. Don't you see Akira? His will of fire resides in you. The most honourable act you can do is to not let his name be forgotten in vain. Honour his name and his work Akira."

"And so, becoming a medic is my way of honouring his memory. I suppose my reason isn't very creative and I do complain a lot about the shifts and the amount of work tha-"

"I think that's very admirable, Akira-kun," I interrupted gently, my voice cutting through the tension that had thickened the air. The words hung in the air between us, soft and filled with sincerity. I knew it couldn't erase the hurt that came with losing his father, "You carry his spirit with you Akira, I'm sure he's very proud of you."

Akira's gaze flickered to a vulnerable, raw expression as he reconciled with the weight of my words and the grief in his heart.

"Thanks Y/N. I really appreciate it." Akira smiled

"Anyways, enjoy your shift Bakakira!" I chuckled as we made our way to the hospital entrance.

"You have a way of ruining these moments, you know!"

"You'll live!"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Akira's reasons for becoming a medic are so noble! he's so adorable. The time is ticking, Y/N's past continues to haunt her every minute she spends in Konoha.

Anyways, I went back to university last week and i'm already drowning in work help me. Sometimes I think that making this story an YN story was such a dumb decision.

But other than that, how are you? please tell me anything I'm so deprived of human contact.

Loving you always,

Suri

14 𝖍𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔 𝖇𝖆𝖇𝖞

Summary: you weren’t really sure how it happened, but an average student who wore glasses and spent all her extra time on bookstores and library managed to date your school’s volleyball club setter. On your 3rd year of law school, your ten years anniversary to be exact, he went home from Argentina and it was a week before he was going back, he broke up with you with the reason of he can't handle long-distance relationship anymore despite being at it for two years. You didn’t cry, you stood there as he was sobbing in front of you, you held his face in your palms and offered him a gentle smile, gentle enough to let him know you’ll support him and will always be watching him, together with the child in your stomach right now, but he doesn’t need to know that.

Oikawa's press conference broke the internet, who could've thought that the kind, lovely and innocent Sato Himari wasn't who she seemed to be?

The internet was quick to switch sides, of course some of Himari's avid fans were still on her side and were still pushing the fact that Oikawa was the father of the child and Y/n manipulated Oikawa to do the press conference, but the majority was on y/n's side

The night after the conference, there was a huge celebration at your house, since you and Himari decided to cook up a huge feast, Oikawa's teammates from Argentina stopped by and visited your home and had a few drinks, Iwaizumi, Akira and the Seijoh Volleyball team of your batch was also there

The night was filled with a lot of tone-deaf singing from Akira, Iwaizumi trying to save his girlfriend from embarassment and misserably failing, Kindaichi having to vomit every few minutes but still decided to drink more, the twins being passed around because people can't get enough of their cuteness until Haruto just fell asleep on Kunimi's lap and Hayato fell asleep on one of Oikawa's teammates lap, Maki and Issei slow dancing to Akira singing "Hello" by Adelle which was very off key, Oikawa taking a picture of them with his left hand while his right is securly wrapped around your waist, Oikawa's argentinian teammates speaking in spanish while Oikawa translates for the team and vice versa to his Japanese friends

It was indeed a fun time, it felt like your head was lifted from underwater, you can breath again, the heavy burden you've been carrying for the past few months evaporated into thin air

A week after that, you were able to file a case against Himari, although you didn't want to do it in the first place because she was still your cousin and she's also pregnant, but you were also a mother and you were only trying to save your kids and your family on what she can do in the future

It was also later on found out that she was mentally unstable and needed therapy before having her baby

Everything seems to be falling in place, and it was a week before Oikawa had to leave for Argentina to begin a new season

You laid in your bed face to face, his hot breath fanning your forehead while you nuzzle into his chest

"bubs?" he calls

"hm?"

"i'm going back to Argentina next week"

"yeah, I know you're gonna do well this season"

"for sure, I have to make you and the twins proud"

You chuckled

"win or lose, we're still proud of you Tooru"

He smiles as he pulls you closer

"I know this might be too fast, and I know it still hasn't been long since we got together, god this is the lamest way to say it, but, will you move with me? To Argentina"

You feel his breath hitch and his heartbeat quicken, was he nervous?

You looked up at him and smiled

"we'll follow you anywhere babe"

And just like that, the day after Oikawa was helping you pack your things, he also insists on only bringing your clothes and not empty out the whole house since he still plans on staying here during off seasons, which was why, unbeknownst to your knowledge, he bought the house

A week later, you flew to Argentina to start a new life with Oikawa and your sons

"papa rapido!" Hayato exclaims while clutching the bag filled with baby bottles

"Mama are you okay?" Haruto calmy rubs your back and stomach as you were sweating buckets and breathing deeply, a puddle of water in front of the chair you were sitting on

The twins are now six years old and grew up to be fine boys

You were now expecting your third baby and your first daughter, but you didn't expect to give birth to her in Japan, you travelled here during mid-pregnancy and Oikawa had a long off-season, but you weren't due in like a week or two and you were planning on returning to Argentina tomorrow

Looks like that's going to have to wait

"OIKAWA I AM NOT ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH IN THIS HOUSE" you screamed

Your husband came out of your room, multiple bags hung in his body, his lips were trembling and his hand clutching his phone was shaking

"y-yeah yeah l-let me call an a-ambulance"

He shakingly dials a number

It rings three times before somebody picks up

"hello!"

"hello pizza delivery how may I help you sir?"

...

What the fuck?

"did you just dial a pizza place while your wife is in labor?"

The twins looks at the door and cheered "Seijoh Uncles!" synchronised like they were looking at their saving grace

Lo and behold it was indeed the Seijon ex-volleyball team, right there to save the day

Maki and Watari took the bags hanging on Oikawa's body

"carry your wife to the van"

Oikawa mindlessly nods and carries you in bridal style to Issei's van, which by the way had a huge fucking funeral home logo on it

But it didn't matter to Oikawa, what mattered was to get his wife to deliver their baby girl safely

And soon a whole ass volleyball team except for Iwaizumi, a shouting pregnant woman and two hyperactive twins were able to fit in the funeral home van

Thank god it wasn't traffic 'cause you ain't never seen a funeral home van travel so fast it was practically flying

Your arrival caused a huge commotion, imagine fully grown men, stepping out of a funeral home vam, screaming "help she's giving birth!", two identical boys screaming "our sister is coming!" and a very pale husband who was carrying his pregnant wife with wobbly knees

What added even more to the commotion was an arrival of another van, it was black with a huge MSBY sign to it

It revealed a Bokuto in a maskot costume without the head, Akaashi holding his-well the maskot's hand, Atsumu and Hinata practically screaming "this is an emergency! A baby is about to come out of her!", Sakusa who was clutching all the baby bags looking very embarassed at his teammates while Iwaizumi was there, his trainer clothes crumpled, his hair dishevelled and carrying Akira who was practically going hysterical

The medical staffs were flabbergasted at the sight of a lot of tall, muscular man in the ER, they immediately led the two husbands to the place their wives on the bed and rolled them over to the same delivery room since there wasn't any vacant one

"hey Iwa, I don't mind if my daughter falls in love with your son"

Oikawa says out of nowhere, their screaming wives in the background

"shut up shittykawa...I don't mind either"

"YOU TWO BETTER STOP THAT BROMANCE MOMENT OF YOURS WE ARE LITERALLY DYING HERE" you screamed in so much pain

"IWAIZUMI YOU MOTHERFUCKER I'M NEVER GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU EVER AGAIN AHHHHH" Akira was having it worst since it was her first time

Oikawa was pale, because of the nervous and the fact that you were squeezing his hand so tightly it felt like it was going to break

While Iwaizumi was taking Akira's tugs, kisses, and curses like a champ

After a lot of abuse for Iwaizumi and Oikawa, they finally heard theur babies' cries which made it all worth it

Oikawa takes a look at your daughtee, his eyes watered as he cuts the umbilical cord

He went to you and peppered your sweaty and unconscious face with kisses

"thank you bubs, thank you for making me the happiest man on earth now"

I may or may not be posting special chapters. Anywayssssss~ i just got home from a fam reunion and I'm finally updating this BHSHSHSHS, i love you guys so much, thank you to all those who read this until the end😭💖 sending virtual hugs and kithes😘 and remember to stay happy, healthy and safe babeesss💗💓

Me? Interested in Persona 5? No wayyy...

Warning for long post!

I had this written differently before I accidentally closed this tab, but I recovered the infodump well!

So... Yeah, Ribbon! My Persona 5 SI, my Phantom Thief SI. Still want to work on a possible real name- I wanted to go with a continuation of the plot threads I thought of with my P4 si, but... nah. Two separate SIs. Even if P5 si was also from the real world, I want them to be different for. Reasons.

She would awaken in the same place as Makoto- Kaneshiro's palace. I want to slip her in somewhere, and I feel like that case would feel the most... Natural? After futaba, a lot of shit picks up, and, as seen with Haru, can be a bit awkward. (And... Yes. I'm going to try to make that arc...... Not Suck? Maybe keep Morgana self loathing but...)

As for her awakening itself... She and Makoto have similar reasons! Both of them were previously known as prim and proper students, but then awaken to a sense of Justice, and are able to go all out. After looking a bit into myself, I was like "wow Makoto really is sorta like how I would awaken maybe" because like... I want to fight against injustice and hatred in society, but I'm scared because of the law- and, like Makoto, in p5, I could snap past that. Fuck the law, I want to stop people from being HURT by society's ineptitude. Haha...

Also, a reason for the involvement in the first place- Kaneshiro's reach is... far. Its very possible that people in Kosei were affected- and, in fact, judging by Yusuke being able to gather information, they were. So... Say that one of Ribbon's friends were being used... selling her body, perhaps... Hmmm...

Yes, both Makoto and my p5 SI- can I call her just Ribbon for now?- are third year students at their school. Yes, for Ribbon's backstory, I think I want her to be a Kosei student! Maybe there because of an art scholarship- writing??- or maybe a financial education scholarship, or maybe just that whoever her guardians are, biological or not, they sent her to that school with the money they had. But... Third year. I am 19 irl- and she would be 18 during the majority of the story, turning 19 in that february because surprise I'm a February baby.

Oh, yes, and her costume! She's a magical girl. Supposed to be based off of one- I gave her ribbons and feathers and a poofy dress and high boots with thick soles and gloves... Also, her mask is simple, but... I had the base form of a butterfly, and added on some mask details and also feathers. The ribbons on the lower part of her dress are more noticeable, though. Hence, her name of Ribbon. Unless y'all can think of any better...

As for WHY magical girls? Well, she thought magical girls were cool! Yes, this reflects on me! Ribbon watched magical girl shows ever since she was a young child, and always got this idea of fighting off evil by using bright magic! And punches. And kicks. When Ribbon grew older, while she never grew out of it, she tried to keep it to the back of her mind. She always still kept an eye on one of the magical girl shows- hmm... Beauty Cure? Beaucure? (Yes. Based on Precure.) And it was pulled back to the front with her awakening, because that's always the type of stuff she liked believing in- a magical force of good fighting against forces of evil... OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL FIGHT AGAINST EVIL SOCIETY TRIES TO DO... Yeah. Mhm. Doesn't that seem familiar.

Oh, yes, I'm going to call the SI by the name of Ribbon- still unsure of if I should use Pix or if I should make up a japanese name that fits a bit closer to my real one, haha.

Her role of the team is... Well, sorta like a magical girl? She has light attacks, which does include the instant kill ones later (points @ magical girls and the series having magical attacks be the magical girl's finishing move), but she also can serve another role... Providing Buffs and giving Debuffs. I mean, magical girl power ups over the season is like a buff... And their attacks debuff the enemy... I would be tempted to also give her some healing things... Maybe later. After all, there are buff moves that are like "gain all three buffs at once!" And she'll get those! So maybe she can also be the status healer...? Dunno. Haven't really watched battle gameplay of p5- even if it's fancy, its... Boring to watch. Oops. Battle dynamics...

As for who her Persona is... I haven't thought of it. I haven't even looked into it either. I was thinking... Her first Persona would be probably an ancient magical girl? Pfft. Funny to say it like that. Maybe a fictional magical girl who was definitely outside the bounds of rules. Maybe villain, maybe hero. Her second persona would... be a goddess. Not the goddess of Magic, since. (stares at Ann.) But. A goddess of something important. Light? Hmm.

Her weapon is... A staff. Kinda a stick, but also it IS something to hurt with. Swing it around, smack someone in the side or head... Use it to adjust your position... Twirling it around... A magical girl doesn't use conventional weapons.

Oh, yeah! Here's where I closed out of the tab by accident. I went to go look at something and my phone pulled a trick on me... Anyway, moving on...

Futaba Sakura is 4'11. Ribbon is 5'. Short squad! Ribbon is irritated about getting teased for it, but is indeed 18- during the story, anyway- and just... Hasn't. Grown. Makoto is 5 inches taller. Interesting.

Ribbon's (outside of battle) role is... well, data gathering, and plan pulling. Makoto thinks of the plans, and can, indeed, push them out to the team... But for group planning sessions, Ribbon is the one listening to everyone's suggestions, and then addressing them... and giving them to the leader to mull over, as well. Make sure everyone is heard.

Oh, idea there... Ribbon also, like me, used to be a theater kid! It helped her grow more used to people around her, more used to speaking, and also technical details on things. Even if she isn't all outgoing, she still shows influences of it with analogies she makes sometimes.

(Spoilers for P5... Brief Warning. Skip to next parantheses for past that spoiler gone.)

During the Phantom Thieves' plans to decieve Akechi into believing he is totally fooling them, Ribbon could easily be very important with that acting experience. While coming up with the plan, Ribbon will definitely state theater terms, backstage, actors, scene changes... And she will definitely help the others get more into character. Staring at you, Ann... For a more believable lie... pull forth a truth similar to this situation and keep that tucked next to your heart... say your lines... and then, when that's over, let it go.

(Spoilers over! Yayyy)

So. Have you guessed who i want to f/o yet? If the answer is yes, congrats, you ain't blind to subtext!

Ribbon's costume is definitely on the lighter side! And... Yes, its definitely pink based. Solid pink ribbons... Light, soft pink dress... A mainly pink mask... I do think the feathers are another color, with those little x marker things that most of the feathers belonging to sharing a similar color, though maybe a different shade. I am... Not good with costume design, though. The accents on her mask would be similar colors to it...

Her hair is black. Darker than Makoto's, yes. She is light skinned, with barely a tan forming on her. Her mask actually covers up her obvious freckles on her face! Her arms, however, still have their freckles showing. (Not in the picture, because i forget about my arm freckles a lot...) (Also not in the picture is the frills on her dress but shhhh)

As for her Confidant? Uh... Hmm... To get to know her... Oh! She can show you her art and writing, sort of brush off her achievements with it because haha not as good as Yusuke Kitagawa's more official art... And her confidant would be helping her tap more into her confident side, whether it be for her own personal projects, or even for her just in society in general! While not as bad as Futaba, she still doesn't like approaching other people... And when that happens, and maybe culminates in her verbally cussing at someone who's been pressing her down for a while now and getting them to lay off her thanks to that newfound confidence. Not a Mementos Target, though she does bring that up but brushes it off as 'just a petty bully thing', but something she deals with herself!

.... Oh, Arcana... Uh. I think... you know how the Jester arcana was like... Another version of the Fool? Wait, the Thoth deck doesn't have an alt Priestess...? Fuck. Uh. Congrats, Akira! You get SUPER DUPER PRIESTESS BONUS. ... Please help

For her Confidant Ability.... Probably something to do with her Magical Girl influnces? The first idea I thought of was like... being able to be a temporary "safe" zone- while in the palace, she could... extend her magical girl light out and create a Barrier that prevents the shadows from noticing her. It will always stay a temporary ability, of course, since otherwise would pribably negate difficulty? But the period would become longer as her confidant goes up. The period of time would be extremly cut down during the times of actually stealing a treasure- after all, the palace ruler is EXPECTING the phantom thieves. No amount of magical girl protecting light would hide that expectation... Or. Something like that.

Also, her last skill. Instead of being like... Making the ability of protecting/anti detecting light last practically forever, its a SUPER STRONG BATTLE ABILITY. What is it? Well... uh... Still have to decide. My current idea has to do with a magical girl blast. Like, activate her light ability right as you get into a battle, and that actually does something- fires a big blast as the battle starts and inflicts damage on the enemy... Hmm. That, or she gets a special version of the all out attack that always kills? Has to be her leading the all out attack, though. What do y'all think...?

Oh, speaking of all out attacks! Hers (or her normal one if I go with the second idea in the above paragraph) would have her landing, spinning around, and doing a sharp "v" pose with her fingers, standing tall and with a grin. Think... Uh... Sailor Moon? I looked up some images and a few I found, with the peace sign arm outstretched, fit that mental image. The other hand would be on her hip, and, of course, she would be winking. Ah, girl vibes.

Yes. I am aware that could be similar to Ann. When i thought of it, i was like "hmmm" but then was like "I do that! and also there's a different between a lean and a wink with the peace sign to your chin rather than a stand/slight slouch and a wink and a peace sign held upward rather than close to the body"

Also, her little line in the background would be "light has prevailed!" In like... Bubbly letters? And it looks like light is shining from behind the letters.

Sure, Ribbon would have a romance route with Akira... but I don't consider that canon. It would make sense that he could POSSIBLY fit my type? But. Nah. Not SUPER attached. Pal at most. Speaking from outside here... In game, with the friendship forming? Maybe so. Anyway, not canon.

Oh my god i just realized Queen and Ribbon have like... Opposite sorta aesthetics. Dark Biker to Light Mage.

Anything else I can think of... Oh, a spoilerly thing.

(I don't believe I can think of anything else to say, so for those who want to be unspoiled on certain things in p5, end of post is the next paranthesis. For others...)

For her reaction to the announcement of Akira's "suicide", it would be something like... Well... A hand to her mouth, and a furrow to her brow... but she doesn't sound like she is going to cry. Instead, she goes, "Ah...", like... Realizing. Like a "hmmm" tone instead of one trying to hold back tears. And then like... Ryuji's scene is after that. And those of you who have seen the scene know what the scene is. So like, if the player was confused by Ribbon, Ryuji smacks them with a direct confirmation.

(And... That's it! Sorry for the long post, I am both unsure of if the read more code trick works on mobile anymore and also am unsure of, if it does work, which version of the trick is the correct one. Because i remember two different versions. Fuck.)
