Just when Akira and Ryuji were looking at each other, someone came approaching.
C'mon dad, please come back, I promise I'll be a good boy. Please, I just want you to come back for mom and to see what I've accomplished on my own, I just want you to be proud of me of what I've become. Shadow Ryuji said as he cried.
SHUT UP! HE'S NEVER COMING BACK!
Why do I always get rejected? Why can't people see that I'm not a troublemaker? And why doesn't anyone love me for who I really am?
Ryuji can feel the pain and anger he has felt for a long time still trapped in him, then pain came crashing down Ryuji when his Shadow threw him across the place making him hit his head and triggering a flashback.
RYUJI! Akira yells out as he runs towards Ryuji.
So, someone does care?
Why believe rumors if they're not true?
PERSONA! Yu yells and summons Izangi-no-owkami.
Minato takes out his gun and summons his Persona.
ARSENE! Akira summons Arsene to may be fight Shadow Ryuji.
The Investigation Team group up against Yu, knowing what to do since they've done it before, while The Phantom Thieves focused where Shadow Ryuji's treasure was, and with the S.E.E.S trying to exterminate any other shadows that are not part of Ryuji.
JOKER! I think I have a guess where his treasure might be. Akechi shouted.
I think I got it, leave it to me. Akira says confidently knowing where Ryuji's treasure might be.
Forgive me Ryuji. Akira says as he takes Ryuji's punk bracelet Akira gave him. However, Ryuji's treasure was so precious to him because Akira was the first person to accept him or more like love him.
MY TREASURE, WHERE IS IT?! IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME!
I know it is, Ryuji. Akira whispers to himself.
As soon as all the teams have him surrounded they fired. Then Akira went back running towards Ryuji, gently waking him up.
Hm? Akira, what happened? Ryuji asks confused looking up at Akira.
Akira just looked at Ryuji and hugged him. The Investigation Team, The Phantom Thieves, and S.E.E.S looked at him.
Yu was the first to speak saying, Go on Ryuji, try and face yourself.
You're right, I have always questioned why people hated me and why do they see me as a troublemaker or what the rumors spread about me and even though I know that my father won't come back, I still yell out for him just in case he comes back. I know that's how you feel because I am you, you are me.
I'm finally glad that someone understands me and accepts me, Ryuji's Shadow looked up and looked at Akira. Akira. Shadow Ryuji disappears.
