Persona 5 Royal: New Game Plus (P5RNG+)

Begin!

12/18, Akira spent his days either finishing up mementos requests or hanging out with those close to him. Once election day came, and the group chat discussed that their best bet is to wait for the elections to happen. During the evening, the tv showed Shido. There was a clear winner...

Shido: My election is the result of every citizen's aid. Your support warms my heart!

Satisfied Man: I knew it was gonna be Shido.

Elated Woman: There was no reason to hold an election.

Shido: That is why...

Cut to the public.

Shido: That is exactly why... I cannot forgive myself! The reason President Okumura passed away is... I am the one who killed him.

A bunch of pictures were being taken as Shido's lackeys were in full panic.

Shido: I also manipulated the information that the Phantom Thieves were behind the series of incidents. The one who controlled the hearts of others and gave rise to the countless victims... is myself. It was all for my own promotion... for my own selfish gain.

Curious Man: What's going on?

Shido: I've even used people's lives as stepping stones in order to claim this country as my own ship. I am a true criminal that can be tried for any crime, and it still wouldn't be enough! I will confess everything! Please, I beg everyone to pass judgment on me... If I could atone for all I've done with my life, I request that I be judged at once...

The camera cuts out.

Shocked Woman: Huh?

Panicking Man: This can't be true! Shido-san!

Back at LeBlanc, everyone was celebrating with a nice meal. Ryuji, Makoto, Haru, and Ann are sitting on the table, Futaba in the one behind them, and the rest standing near. Sae even joined in.

Ryuji: Hell yeaaaaah!

Sojiro: Everyone, raise your glass. Allow me to say a few words... Now then...

Futaba: He's started taking charge.

Makoto: Come now, don't be that way.

Sojiro: If you're gonna complain, say it to Shido. A legislator's pin's worth almost nothing. Well then, so, since the source of evil, Masayoshi Shido, has been-

Futaba: I got to avenge... my mom. It's all... thanks... to everyone. Thank- *sniff* *sob*

Haru: I was able to settle a debt in regard to my father as well.

Ann: We all worked so hard for this...

Haru: *sniff* *sob*

Makoto: Shido's guilty, right, Sis?

Sae: ...It'll be difficult to prosecute him immediately. But I'll do this thoroughly until the causality between his other crimes can be proven. I believe Wakaba-san's research results will save Japan.

Akira: (I remember what is to be expected come Christmas regarding Shido and the prosecution... Having to testify against him and go back to juvy... But... it's a sacrifice I'll take if it means he's behind bars.)

Ryuji: We could testify too, you know?

Sae: Thank you, but I'll be fine. I don't want to add any more unwanted suspicions on any of you. It's about time you let us adults prove that we can get our act together.
