Ren and Morgana opened the door to Leblanc to see Sojiro tapping his foot impatiently while on the phone.
"You need a new one? What happened?"
"The screen turned blue? Just unplug it. Not blue like that? Blue is blue."
"Okay, Okay I'll come check." Sojiro finished with a sigh, hanging up his phone.
"Special lady?" Ren asked awkwardly.
'He tries his best, but he isn't very confident when talking to adults.' Sojiro couldn't help but remember Yu's words while glancing at Ren's face.
"Something like that…" He said with a chuckle. "Well, as you can see, I have to head out early. Make sure you clean anything you use and lock the door before you go to bed. You forgot to remind me, but I had a key made for you. It's in your room."
"Thank you!" Ren beamed. It was truly nice to be trusted again.
"Remember to stay in Yongen if you go out." Sojiro reminded as he closed the door.
Smiling, Ren headed up the stairs to prepare for bed.

[SweetTreat]
I want to try awakening a persona!
[Shut7hefup]
Im in!!!
[Dove]
I mean we can try, we'll just have to be careful.
[J0ker]
Hold on guys, we aren't positive about ways to awaken.
[Shut7hefup]
Toss her into a group of shadows and hope for the best?
[SweetTreat]
Neck chop the blonde asshole I know?
[Dove]
We could try to mimic how I awakened Scathach but She is telling me some cryptic things about how sometimes rebellion is needed alongside truth?

Reading through the texts from earlier in the day, Ren ran his hand through his hair approaching the place they agreed to meet. Unfortunately for Ren, Kamoshida decided to begin to spread rumors that Ren was manipulating Shiho and Ann. The postive was that people avoided him, the negative is that he stuck out like a sore thumb almost everywhere he went.
Eventually the school cleared up enough, and Ren entered the alleyway nearby. Ann and Shiho were standing next to each other, tension clear on their faces, as Ryuji returned from a nearby vending machine with a few drinks.
"Ladies." Ren and Morgana greeted in unison.
The tension the girls were feeling abruptly snapped as they smiled.
"Bro! Those rumors are ridiculous!" Ryuji shouted as he arrived, handing drinks to everyone.
"The worst part is, that people believe it." Ann groaned.
"I think the one about me being an ivory trafficker was the most interesting." Ren causually stated.
The group looked at Ren for a second.
"What, I really heard that one!" Ren said in mock offense.
"Alright team, whats the plan for today?!" Ryuji exclaimed in excitement.
