Morgana: ...

Morgana: Hey.

Morgana: Sorry, it's nothing.

Morgana: I was just...remembering what happened that night.

Morgana: You remember, right?

Morgana: The day before we went into mementos to erase it...before we'd dealt with Shido?

Morgana: Remember how I said I'd finally found the place where I belong?

Morgana: Even though I said that, and really believed it... I still fell right into Maruki's hands.

Morgana: I acted all tough, but when things got real, I took the easy way out.

Morgana: That's so lame of me, right?

Player Dialogue here

Morgana: Huh?

Morgana: D-do you mean it?

Morgana: ...!

Morgana: I mean, yeah, that's true, but....

Morgana: "Don't worry about it?" Are you really letting it go that easily?

Morgana: Hmm...

Morgana: You know what? You're right!

Morgana: Now that I think more about it, after everything that's happened... I don't have to act any certain way around you.

Morgana: Thanks!

Morgana: When I'm with you, I feel like I'm truly being myself.

Morgana: This may be a bit different from what I'd said before, but...the place i belong...is right by your side.

Morgana: That's why I promise I'll protect you, no matter what happens.

Morgana: I've discovered a new- no...my original power.

Morgana: Look at me getting all mushy again. I guess I just have to accept that as part of who i am.

Morgana: Seems like things are going to get awfully busy again tomorrow. Let's get our rest while we can.

Makoto: Sorry to call you here so suddenly. There's something I need to do.

Makoto: Well...I've been feeling the need to apologize to you.

Makoto: I spurn reality so I can cling to a father that I already lost.

Makoto: I couldn't back you up when you needed me the most.

Player Dialogue here

Makoto: I know, but still...

Makoto: That's true, but...!

Makoto: Do you remember that time when we were in the student council room?

Makoto: And I started questioning my entire outlook on my education up to that point.

Makoto: I grew to be friends with Eiko, I...hmm'd and huh'd over my future, ...and in the end, you helped me find my answer.

Makoto: You know how I dreamed of following my father's footsteps and eventually raising to the commissioner position, yes?

Makoto: I talked up such lofty ideals, but, in practice, the result was...well, you saw it.

Makoto: I'm such a hypocrite. How weak can really be?

Player Dialogue here

Makoto: Huh? I mean...well...

Makoto: It's...fine? But I...!

Makoto: Huh? That's...who I am...?

Makoto: ...

Makoto: You're right.

Makoto: I wonder how you can come to these straightforward answers so easily.

Makoto: I'm weak-willed and struggle with the truth. While I may dislike these aspects of myself, they're still part of who I am.

Makoto: I'm sorry. Looks like I still need to work on moving away from the model student mindset.

Makoto: I can't allow this reality to contine. Even if it grants my deepest wishes.

Makoto: I'll be the one to make my dreams come true. I'll be the one to protect myself.

Makoto: My dream is still to become the police commissioner. And you are who I most want to protect.

Makoto: I feel it...! I found the original me!

Makoto: Looks like you've brought me to my senses yet again!

Makoto: I'll make sure to pay you back for it.

Makoto: Leave it to me!

Makoto: Thanks for staying over so late. I'll see you later!

Haru: Sorry to call you over out of the blue like this. Please, feel free to make yourself at home.

Haru: Oh, there's nothing all that unusual in here. No need to look around like that.

Haru: Oh right! You usually give me a hand with the gardening whenever we have our discussions.

Haru: But today's nothing like that. In fact...

Haru: I bet you're disappointed in me.

Haru: It's about Dr. Maruki's version of reality...and how patheic I was about it.

Haru: Do you remember back when I was struggling with the company? You always let turn to you with my problems.

Haru: It's all thanks to you that I was able to focus on my own desires for the future. You...you honestly saved my life.

Haru: That's why I made a promise: If you were ever to find yourself in trouble, I'd be there for you.

Haru: But when push came to shove, I couldn't keep that promise in mind, let alone follow through with it.

Player Dialogue here

Haru: I see what you mean.

Haru: But even so, I still recognized a weakness within me that I wasn't able to overcome.

Haru: The same goes for how I'm treating the company.

Haru: I said I leave Okumura Foods to other capable hands, but in this reality, I...

Haru: *sigh* It's not that I don't trust the people in the company and I wasn't lying about my dream to open a cafe someday...

Haru: Still, there was some part of me deep down that felt like I had to run the company myself, now that Father's gone.

Haru: I can't tell if I'll ever really lose those feelings entirely.

Haru: And that's why I'm so disappointed in myself. I don't know what to do about this weakness in me.

Haru: Look at me, rambling on. Sorry to bore you. I know you didn't come to spend your free time hearing my complaints.

Haru: The whole reason I invited you here in the first place was to apologize to you.

Player Dialogue here

Haru: Huh?

Haru: My weakness is...a part of me?

Haru: Huh?

Haru: But I was so weak. I couldn't be there for you. You really okay with that?

Haru: Really? Even though I'm...

Haru: *sigh*

Haru: I see...Even things like feeling weak are all part of me...

Haru: To be honest, this version of reality doesn't feel wrong.

Haru: But, I don't think it's right either.

Haru: Instead of just continuing on in a reality I had no part in shaping...

Haru: I choose to live another way.

Haru: I want a reality where I face down pain and hardship and I can push forward alongside people I believe in!

Haru: Mhm!

Haru: Listen. Why don't let me be your strength this time around? I want to be able to keep my promise.

Haru: After all, my strength belongs to you!

Haru: I'm going to start anew! With the power to press onward!

Haru: I'll do my best to make up for all this trouble. The Heroine of Justice is back in business!

Haru: Thanks again for coming today! Be cafeful on your way home!

Yusuke: ...

Yusuke: ...

Yusuke: I'm...I'm a utterly hopeless fool!

Player Dialogue here

Yusuke: You're right. Let me start from the beginning.

Yusuke: It's no use trying to console me.

Yusuke: do you remember the art exhibition Kawanabe held?

Yusuke: Back then, I proclaimed that I wouldn't be led astray by my desires...that I have a view of true hope.

Yusuke: I spoke like I understood everything under the sun and turned down his offer.

Yusuke: And just look at how that's played out.

Yusuke: I turned all too easily to the false security of Dr. Maruki's reality he spun from my deepest desires!

Yusuke: Oh right. Sorry about that.

Yusuke: But I must be entirely honest: What I did was a disgrace to my name as an artist.

Yusuke: No... Not only that... It was an insult to you as well. Since you were the one who guided me towards beauty.

Yusuke: I'm simply...so weak.

Yusuke: I am truly sorry.

Player Dialogue here

Yusuke: What?

Yusuke: Are you saying this ugliness and clinging to false hope...that it's an inherent part of humanity?

Yusuke: Our hearts...

Yusuke: Wait...are you saying that this ugliness is also part of our hearts?

Yusuke: ...!

Yusuke: You're saying this weakness, this ugliness...it's also inherent in humanity?

Yusuke: Huh.

Yusuke: That's right!

Yusuke: Ugliness is inseparable from the hearts of men, but that is also an aspect of its beauty... you taught me that lesson.

Yusuke: I may have grown a tad too conceited since you and I deepened my understanding of beauty.

Yusuke: I had assumed the faster I gained traction as an artist, the sooner I'd be able to hand the spotlight over to my mother.

Yusuke: However, i'm still a weak person.

Yusuke: To the point that, at times... I lose sight of the answer I strive for in my work.

Yusuke: Putting my mother's art in the spotlight is...still too soon for me at this point.

Yusuke: I don't believe this ideal reality is inherently wrong. If anything, it's absolutely beautiful, in some regards.

Yusuke: But in the end, I want to live in the original reality: Where beauty and ugliness are melded into one.

Yusuke: Hmm. And you're the one who helped me get there. Thank you.

Yusuke: No matter how often I may lose my way or stumble on our path, I will always return.

Yusuke: To that place where I can laugh and smile with good friends. To the place where you and I both belong.

Yusuke: Such power...! This is my origin. This is my essence!

Yusuke: Now, let us return to our own reality together.

Yusuke: The one where you guided me to the discovery of true beauty!

Yusuke: But before we do that, we'd better eat.

Yusuke: That reminds me: I haven't even offered you any tea yet. And you brought some kind of treat with you too, didn't you?

Yusuke: Is it sweet bean jelly? Or maybe a baked dessert like doriaki? Or perhaps you brought--

Yusuke: Thank you for spending all this time with me. See you again soon.

Ann: Sorry to have you come over when it's so late. My room's small, but make yourself at home.

Ann: Oh, I don't need you to do anything in particular.

Ann: Well, we've gotten to know each other pretty well, so I just figured why not try hanging out at home, hehe!

Ann: Sorry.

Ann: I just felt like apologizing to you properly for what happened.

Ann: I got pretty pathetic about Dr. Maruki's reality.

Ann: You've done so much for me. But I basically did the opposite of returning your favor.

Ann: You don't remember?

Ann: You actually listened to me when I was at my wit's end, thanks to Kamoshida.

Ann: One-on-one...Just like we're talking now. you showed me so much compassion.

Ann: And that's not the only time either. All the stuff with Shiho, and my modeling work.

Ann: Every time I got stuck on what to do, you guided me forward. You really are my ray of sunshine.

Ann: But anyway...that's why I wanted to do as good a job as possible at paying you back.

Ann: Not only did I not do that, I was totally useless after Dr. Maruki changed reality.

Ann: All while you were still fighting. *sigh* I'm so sorry.

Ann: ...You're always so nice.

Ann: But I...I just can't forgive myself for this... For being so...so weak and pathetic.

Player Dialogue here

Ann: Huh? The weakness and pathetic-ness is...part of me?

Ann: ...That's mean.

Ann: Huh?

Ann: Are...are you sure?

Ann: ...

Ann: Huh?

Ann: Just be me... Really?

Ann: So you mean that stuff is actually just a part of me?

Ann: Well, you know...You're right!

Ann: Now that I think of it, I was already being pathetic when we first talked about Kamoshida.

Ann: But...! That's not all that I am!

Ann: I've gotta say: This reality seems to have gotten plenty of things right.

Ann: Everything is so nice and happy at first glance, but...

Ann: To find a reality this perfect, people have to learn about pain...and joy too.

Ann: I feel like people need to experience these things for themselves.

Ann: I bet Shiho would say the same thing too.

Player Dialogue here

Ann: Awesome!

Ann: Now just you watch!

Ann: No matter what I might forget, I'll always know that I belong in the sunshine...right beside you.

Ann: I can feel it... This is my new - no,it's my original power!

Ann: Okay, I'm totally over it now and I can't thank you enough for your help with this.

Ann: I promise: i'm gonna be way more awesome from here on out, just wait and see!

Player Dialogue here

Ann: Yeah! Leave it to me!

Ann: Don't talk to me like I'm a horse or something...!

Ann: Thanks again for today. See you around!

Ryuji: ...

Ryuji: I knew you'd figure it out.

Ryuji: Well, there's somethin' I want to talk about since we're bros and all I figured I'd just invite you over.

Player Dialogue here

Ryuji: ! Hell no!

Ryuji: I mean, I guess it was weird invitin' you to my room out of the blue like that, but it's nothing like that.

Ryuji: Look, I'm sorry I was super shitty to you.

Ryuji: I ran away from the Phantom Thieves so I could have an easier life, even after saying I'd found my place with you guys.

Ryuji: So I've just felt like I needed to apologize for that.

Player Dialogue here

Ryuji: Hmm, thanks but even if it doesn't bother you, it still bugs the hell outta me.

Ryuji: You've never turned your back on anything.

Ryuji: Not when I was figuring out how to deal with all the track team bullshit and... even after I turned my own back on you.

Ryuji: I ran my mouth about how I'd help you with whatever you need,

Ryuji: Then, all I did instead was break my promise and hide from the truth.

Ryuji: So that's why I cooked up this way to set things right.

Ryuji: Watch this:

Ryuji: *grunt*

Ryuji: *grunt*

Ryuji: I...won't stop...until you say so.

Ryuji: If you want...I'll throw in...some sit-ups too.

Ryuji: Ugh! But no legless, all right? Can't make noise, neighbors below us.

Ryuji: Can't...forgive myself...unless I do this!

Ryuji: Can't believe...I was so lame...so uncool!

Player Dialogue here

Ryuji: Huh?

Ryuji: What do you mean by that?

Ryuji: *grunt*

Ryuji: Huh?

Ryuji: Dude, I'm serious.

Ryuji: *exhaust*

Ryuji: Well...that's not what...I meant.

Ryuji: This is...supposed to really clear my conscience or some shit. it helps me...feel like we're cool again.

Ryuji: Ugh!

Ryuji: Ugh, damn it! Aagh, I can't strain my body and my brain at the same time.

Ryuji: But anyway, I think I figured out what you meant.

Ryuji: Being lame and uncool is just part of who I am.

Ryuji: Geez!

Ryuji: I was just about to go through every workout the track team knows too.

Ryuji: Looks like you taught me another lesson!

Ryuji: Ah, no no no, never mind, forget I said that.

Ryuji: So about Doc's reality...Everything in it seems pretty awesome, I can't deny that.

Ryuji: But it's also not the best place for me to live. I can't really figure out why but, I just feel like it's the truth.

Ryuji: I want to be fightin' next to you in our real reality, no matter how much that place might hurt.

Ryuji: That's where I belong: In the openin' charge of the Phantom Thieves!

Ryuji: So this is what my true power is like huh? Hah, not bad.

Ryuji: Man, do I feel better after spillin' my guts, haha! I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight.

Ryuji: Dude, don't sell the post-practice sleep short; You got no idea how strong the magnetic pull of a futon is after practice.

Ryuji: Hah, better than doing nothing but thinkin' about complicated shit while I got better things to do.

Ryuji: I know I can be a lame pain in the ass to you at times,

Ryuji: But now I really swear, no joke, if shit gets real for you, I'm risking my life to give you a hand.

Ryuji: Let's keep this dream team going, baby!

Ryuji: Thanks for coming over today. Well, see ya around!

Futaba: Sorry I called you over like this.

Futaba: Um, there's something I wanna talk to you about so...uh...

Futaba: Remember how I told you I'd risk my life for you?

Futaba: All that ended up happening was I fell for Maruki's version of reality. I couldn't help you at all when you needed it.

Futaba: So I know I need to apologize for that.

Futaba: But now that you're sitting across from me, I'm freaking out. I'm scared for you to see my face.

Futaba: I really did decide to stop hiding from my problems.

Futaba: So, um, I'm really sorry for a whole ton of stuff.

Player Dialogue here

Futaba: No can do, I can't show you my face; I'm scared to see it myself.

Futaba: All right.

Futaba: So now you know why I didn't want you to see me like this.

Futaba: I asked you here because you deserve an apology, but now all I'm doing is worrying you with my crying.

Futaba: I thought I could change, that I could grow and mature but, I'm still just the weak old me.

Futaba: I can't even look you in the eye to apologize. I hate being so pathetic.

Player Dialogue here

Futaba: So it's just...a part of me?

Futaba: Are you sure that's really fine though? Being like...this?

Futaba: I'm fine? are you sure about that?

Futaba: I'm so weak and quick to cry, it's pathetic. Are you honestly cool with someone like that?

Futaba: Huh?

Futaba: This hurts so much because...I'm not running from it?

Futaba: ...

Futaba: I see. You're right.

Futaba: I might have all sorts of weak points, but that's just a part of my identity.

Futaba: I mean, I was such a problem child for so long; there's no way I can become a perfect cherub right off the bat.

Futaba: Thanks a lot, I was really down in the dumps for a bit there.

Futaba: I promise I'll keep my chin up from here on!

Futaba: So about the reality Maruki cooked up...Between you and me, I feel like it might actually be getting some things right.

Futaba: Sojiro's still here, and we got ourselves a human Mona...and there's mom.

Futaba: We've all found our happy place here,

Futaba: But still, I prefer the original reality, even though it has tons of painful stuff in it. it's a place where I can move forward.

Futaba: To where i belong... To where you are.

Futaba: This power... It's the answer i've been looking for...! I finally found it, the original me!

Futaba: I hope you'll keep watching out for me, while I do everything i can for you.

Futaba: Wait, I had you come over so I could apologize, but it just turned into me telling you how psyched I am to help you!

Futaba: Great!

Futaba: Welp, I know I'm not perfect, but I can at least try to make your life easier.

Futaba: I promise I'll make this pep talk up to you ten times over! You better count 'em too!

Sumire: Please, make yourself at home!

Sumire: People say a messy room leads to a messy heart. Well, Kasumi used to say it a lot.

Player Dialogue here

Sumire: Is that so? I'm kind of surprised.

Sumire: Anyway, thanks for taking the time to come over today.

Sumire: I wanted to talk to you here because...this room is where I feel closest to my sister.

Sumire: Pretty much everything in here is the same as in Kasumi's bedroom.

Sumire: Maybe a few things are in a different palette but...otherwise, the design is all the same.

Sumire: It's always been this way too. growing up, I wanted everything to be exactly the same as my sister's.

Sumire: I admit, she was so talented that I'd sometimes feel a bit inferior or jealous.

Sumire: But stronger than any of that...was my love for my sister. I always wanted to be as much like her as possible.

Sumire: Then again, I never would have imagined that I'd actually live my life as Kasumi.

Sumire: I admit, in the grand scheme of things, I am grateful for Dr. Maruki.

Sumire: Well, he showed me it was possible to live my life the way Kasumi had lived hers.

Sumire: If he'd never done that for me, I would have stayed as weak as I was... Forever, probably.

Sumire: But once I met you, as Kasumi...

Sumire: I eventually realized that I was making a mistake...and I never could have done that without Dr. Maruki trying to help me.

Sumire: So that's why I owe so much to him.

Sumire: And that's the reason I want him to see the strength I've found.

Sumire: He's done so much to help me find that strength, I just want to show him that I'll be okay from here on out.

Player Dialogue here

Sumire: Yes, thank you!

Sumire: I'll do my best to be the strongest Sumire Yoshizawa I can be!

Sumire: I can feel it...! So this is the power I've had inside me all this time!

Sumire: Do you think Dr. Maruki will understand how I feel when we...you know, see him again?

Player Dialogue here

Sumire: You're right. If i want it to become true, I have to believe that it will. Let's give this everything we've got!

Sumire: That's fair,

Sumire: But you never know what'll happen in a fight. So let's give this everything we've got and wish for the best!

Sumire: Oh my, look at the time. Well, thanks for coming over today.
