The sky is clear, the entirety of Tokyo seems peaceful. It's been what? Four months since I left here. Heh, a lot happened back then, the phantom thieves, the metaverse, Akechi...
Familiar voice: Hey.
I open my eyes to see Morgana sitting on my lap staring at me.
Morgana: C'mon, where almost back in Tokyo.
Joker: Oh... did I fall asleep? Heh, I guess you're excited to see everyone again?
Morgana: Of course I am, especially because I'll get too see lady ann.
As the train pulls in and I walk into the station, I get a strange feeling of nostalgia. I find my way back to Yongen-Jaya, at the door of Leblanc a feeling of safety washes over me.
Joker: Hey Sojiro, I'm back...
My voice echoed through the restaurant as I thought it was completely empty.
Joker: Hello?... Is anyone there?
I decided to walk upstairs to my old room to see if Sojiro was up there adjusting the place for me and just didn't hear. As I was walking up the stairs I heard the bell ring at the front door.
"Sorry I'm late senpai!"
I turned around to see a familiar looking girl with long red hair and glasses looking at me.
Joker: Late for what?
Sumire: Huh!?! Where is everyone!?!
Morgana walks back down the stairs, seems like he took a look while I was confused by Sumire.
Morgana: There's no one up there, seems boss just went shopping because he left this note upstairs.
Morgana passes the note as it reads, 'I've gone out shopping for a return party the others were organising for you, I left the store unlocked just in case you got there before I did. Welcome back, Boss'. It seems like Sumire didn't get the message...
Sumire: (checks phone) Oh, I thought it said we were meeting up today!
Joker: Oh well, how about we take some time to catch up?
Sumire and I talked for a bit, she said that she's made some great progress on her goal of being a world class gymnast. Me in the other hand, I haven't picked a path yet, I could take Sae's offer and follow a career in law, but I imagine that would be difficult due to my criminal record. I could move here and take over Leblanc for Sojiro, although I imagine he won't be retiring any time soon. Even then, those are my long term plans, I have no idea what I'm gonna do after school's over.
Sumire: Hey Senpai, you listening?
Joker: Oh yeah, I guess I'm just a bit tired from the trip. (chuckle)
Sumire: But Morgana just said you slept on the way here... is everything okay Senpai?
Joker: ... I'm fine.
Sojiro then walks in, oh thank god, I can avoid talking about that.
Sumire: Well since you have boss back, I should get going so you two can have your own reunion.
Joker: Okay, bye Sumire.
Sumire: Goodbye Senpai, see you tomorrow.
Sumire then walks out as I turn to Sojiro as if to ask him, 'what next?'
Sojiro: You're probably tired from your trip, go upstairs and rest.
Joker: Oh, okay then.
I walk upstairs as Sojiro gets my attention again.
Sojiro: Oh, one more thing...
Sojiro throws the keys to me as I catch them.
Sojiro: Just in case you wanted to wonder about.
Joker: Oh, thanks.
(Later that day)
Joker: (phew) You're really making me work as hard as ever aren't you?
Sojiro: Well you may be on vacation, but if you offer your help you better know you'll be working your but off.
As Sojiro a man wearing a suit with silver hair and glasses walks in and sits right in front of me reading a book.

Man: I'll just take a coffee with full cream milk please.
Sojiro: Coming right up.
Man: So kid... what's your deal? Part time worker?
Joker: More like a family friend, my names Ren Amamiya.
The man closes his book as he looks at me.
Yu: My names Yu Narukami, it's nice to meet you Amamiya-san.
