Makoto Nijima

⟪Persona⟫

⚔︎𐄷 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 𐄷⚔︎

In the days following your whirlwind return to Yongen-Jaya for Labor Thanksgiving Day, your unexpected reunion tour with the Phantom Thieves unfolded almost naturally. By the time you boarded the long flight to Germany to see Sumire, the rhythm of reconnecting with old friends had become both nostalgic and grounding.

Frankfurt brought its own pulse. Even so, you spent a day beside her, walking frost-dressed streets and letting the reality of being so far from home settle in. And somewhere between those quiet hours, Makoto reached out. News traveled quickly among the Thieves, and once she heard you were in Frankfurt—practically a neighbor in European terms—she sent a message with her usual blend of professionalism and subtle affection.

She didn’t ask you to visit; she simply mentioned she was stationed in Lyon for an ongoing Interpol collaboration, working a case linked to a corruption network spanning several nations. But you knew Makoto—the long days, the solitude, the unspoken pressure she carried on her shoulders.

Lyon was only a train ride away. With Sumire preparing intensively for her upcoming competition and insisting you take a day for yourself, you and Morgana boarded the next train south, following rails that cut through snow-softened countryside until France opened before you.
