Persona 5 Royal: New Game Plus (P5RNG+)

Begin!

Kasumi Yoshizawa is dead...

And Sumire Yoshizawa was the one who survived...

Back in the palace, Akira and Akechi saw this all unfold.

The red head... the one who was with them... the one Akira fell for... was she Kasumi... or Sumire...

Either way, she was shocked... so shocked that her metaverse outfit disappeared and reverted back into her normal clothes.

The ribbon keeping her hair in a ponytail, became undone, letting her red hair flow as a single tear fell from her face.

The only good thing, was that back then it was raining, it was able to mask her watery eyes... in the palace, not so much... all she could do was stand in shock.

Who was she?

?????? Yoshizawa: I...

Maruki: ...... ...Seems you remembered.

?????? Yoshizawa: That's right... I'm...

Akira: Kasumi?

?????? Yoshizawa: Kasu...mi? No... that's not right! I'm... I'm not Kasumi!

Akechi: The girl named "Kasumi Yoshizawa" is currently deceased.

Akira: !

?????? Yoshizawa: It was last spring... Before I started at Shujin... We were walking home from practice. It happened right there, on that street in the video... I wasn't looking where I was going... and Kasumi, she protected me from the car... I was saved by Kasumi... I robbed her of her dreams... and even her life! I'm... her younger sister, Sumire Yoshizawa.

Sumire... yes, her name is Sumire... she fell to her knees, breaking down.

Akira knelt down to her level, trying to comfort her.

Maruki: I'll take over from here. After all, I do play a part in this story.

Akira: Huh?

Maruki: Her real name... is Sumire Yoshizawa. She's Kasumi-san's younger sister... But for months now, she's only seen herself as being Kasumi Yoshizawa... her deceased elder sister.

Akira: Oh god...

Maruki: Of course, it was only her cognition of herself that changed, so to the people around her, she was still Sumire-san. For some reason, though... there were a few rare exceptions to this. Did something happen to make you believe she was Kasumi-San?

Akira: Her Shujin Id... back at the clean up...

Akechi: It appears you were clueless, but she was Sumire Yoshizawa from the start. However, when we watched that other. Idea, she gave her name as Kasumi Yoshizawa. Considering such an odd claim, I'd actually suspected for a moment that she was the Palace Ruler... I'm surprised her boyfriend never figured it out, or are you technically her ex now?

Akira: Not the fucking time Akechi.

Akechi: Later then.
