    Summary

    It's June 10th. You have a customer in the morning. You have a recording in the afternoon. You have to meet him a bit later. You have a murder in the evening. You have a customer in the night. You're tired; your legs hurt like hell and your stomach won't shut up, but you keep going. Remember what you promised, Goro? You'll see this through to the bitter end. It's only a matter of time.

    This is a retelling of Persona 5: Royal's June 10th (aka the trip to the TV Station) through Akechi Goro's point of view. It's about his 100000 masks and the way he wears them. It is a character study and a story of how I think he viewed the events of that day— how you would view the day through red eyes. That's not to say that there's anything particularly special about it. There is nothing special about today. There will be nothing special about tomorrow. It's simply a slice of life.

    Slices add up.

    2026. This can't be happening.

    He opens the phone camera with shaking fingers. His face is reflected on the screen, but it's not his face, it's older and more angular and his bedhead's a completely different sort of mess than what he's used to. Which means—which means—

    Akira Kurusu wakes up ten years in the future, blissfully married to his would-be murderer.

    Summary

    “Because I want some coffee,” Ren continues, looking like he doesn’t know exactly what he just fucking did. Like they’re talking about their plans for the evening. Like Goro isn’t trying to secure whatever last bit of agency they have left.

    He tries not to snap, with moderate success.

    “Can you take this seriously for one fucking second?”

    ----

    yeah. yet another 2/2 fic, in which they both take it very seriously 👍 no, really.
