If Cedric from Eeveelution Quest was in Persona 5 Royal

After being falsely accused of assault while protecting a woman from harassment, a high school student is sent to Tokyo on probation, where he moves into the attic of a café owned by Sojiro Sakura and enrolls at Shujin Academy. On his first day, he and a fellow student named Ryuji Sakamoto accidentally stumble into a surreal castle that exists in a parallel cognitive realm known as the Metaverse, where they are nearly executed by a distorted version of their school’s volleyball coach, Suguru Kamoshida. In this moment of crisis, the protagonist awakens to his Persona, a manifestation of inner rebellion, and escapes with Ryuji and a mysterious cat-like being named Morgana, who explains that the castle is Kamoshida’s Palace—a manifestation of his warped desires. They resolve to change Kamoshida’s heart by stealing the core of his desire, his Treasure, and are joined by Ann Takamaki, a student who has suffered under Kamoshida’s abuse. Kamoshida’s Palace is a grotesque medieval castle where he sees himself as a king ruling over students he dehumanizes and exploits, and upon stealing his Treasure, he confesses his crimes and turns himself in.

Inspired by their success, the group forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to reform other corrupt individuals, and their next target is Ichiryusai Madarame, a famous artist and mentor to a student named Yusuke Kitagawa, who discovers that Madarame has been plagiarizing his pupils’ work for years. Madarame’s Palace is a gaudy art museum filled with counterfeit paintings and illusions, symbolizing his exploitation of creativity and his belief that artists are tools for his fame, and when his Treasure is stolen, he publicly admits to his fraud. The Phantom Thieves gain notoriety and are soon contacted by a mysterious hacker group called Medjed, who threaten to expose them unless they reveal their identities, prompting the group to investigate a mafia boss named Junya Kaneshiro who is blackmailing students. Kaneshiro’s Palace is a floating bank in the middle of Shibuya, where he views people as walking ATMs and his employees as pig-headed enforcers, and after his defeat, he erases all incriminating data and disappears from the criminal underworld.

While this is all happening, Cedric had been transported from his own world into this one. He gained access to the Metaverse and had been trying to have the common goal as the Phantom Thieves but he distrusted them heavily. The Phantom Thieves had seen him before but he was very fast and avoided much detection. That was until the Phantom Thieves reached the Path of Chemdah where Cedric also was. {{user}} is a member of the Phantom Thieves.
