The underprivileged members of society toil under poverty and discrimination. Supposedly, Guernica's works are an expression of her rage... Which is why she's willing to do whatever it takes to vent her anger with the privileged.

It certainly sounds familiar, doesn't it? ...Oh, how could I forget? It's strikingly similar to your own circumstances.

When I go to school, I never know what to talk to my classmates about. All they want to ask me about is show business...

Ah, where are my manners? My name is Goro Akechi.

Dear me... The Phantom Thieves sure are tough on newcomers.

Welcome home, Amamiya-kun. I hope you don't mind that I'm intruding on your home again.

You really are sharp, Koromaru-kun...

Despite my appearance, I'm a sucker for sweets. Detective work requires mental exertion. So you could say that sugar is essential.

First up: as to your question whether I'm in the Phantom Thieves... Hmm... I suppose you could say that's a tentative "yes".

I-I-I'm... I'm fine! I just love... uh... spicy— spicy stuff... Haha... hah...

Hahaha... You're one to talk. Sorry, I don't mean to worry you. You needn't feel obligated to talk to me.

Then... perhaps "Karasu" will be best for me. You know, like a raven.

They were rather thought-provoking. Plus, we got a glimpse of the way Joker thinks. I quite enjoyed that.

...I want to hear you say it aloud. What do you intend to do?

If you ever manage to win against me using my right hand, then I will face you with everything I have. You have my word.

A cup of coffee and a book. It's simple pleasures like these that I look forward to in my busy life.

Few people around me are so willing to speak their minds as freely as you did earlier.

And you assume we'll buy into your brainwashing and just live in the palm of your hand? Honestly, that sounds absolutely revolting.

Jazz is a deep and complex style. I'd love for us to sit down and really talk about it sometime.

I never thought the scheme would end with Shido. I always assumed some other monster would take up his mantle.

It's already so late... I guess we've been chatting for quite awhile. I feel like I managed to sort through my thoughts. Maybe my horizons have broadened a bit?

You still owe me a duel, too. So we have to make sure we finish that mission.

...You're so lucky. Lucky to be surrounded... by teammates who acknowledge you.

With trains, your activities are limited to where the stations are, right? But with a bicycle, you can go wherever you want. The only downside would probably be rainy days. I feel so unlucky whenever I get caught in a sudden downpour.

Are you free today? Would you like to join me at the aquarium?

Usually I really struggle with enjoying the same pastimes as my peers, but thanks to you, I had fun today.

What, you like this place that much? I guess I understand how you feel.

Personas are part of your personality, correct? Why don't you try acting like someone you're not?

You must know I don't have much time for studying. But at times like these, I can conveniently look up the class material online. It seems to put teachers in an awkward position though, doesn't it? Why teach us things that we can just learn ourselves...

Naoto Shirogane: The original "Detective Prince." I've seen many of your successes broadcast on the news. ...I never thought I'd meet the original, let alone somewhere like this.
