Still have to figure out... what she likes to wear. But I'll get there eventually.

Eventually as the two arrive back in the real world do they meet up with the mysterious boy who had helped lead them through the palace to properly escape. He is introduced as Masayoshi Shido, a third year. He does not elaborate or explain why he has these powers aswell. That night does Sojiro have a dream where he wakes up in a strange empty mansion, outside the windows show that it’s right on the cliffside near a beach. The weather outside is hazy, almost unable to make out anything else. Here he’s introduced to this world he’s in between dreams and reality known as The Velvet Room. Unlike Persona 5, he is met by Igor rather than a devious God that has taken over the man’s body. His assistant is none other than Lavenza, still in her true form and not split into two.  The next day arrives and Suguru insists on investigating more in what they saw, the two second years soon learn that the track team truly is being overworked to their absolute limit and that something has to be done. When telling Masayoshi about this he of course knows exactly what to do, already having much experience in the metaverse himself. It’s then set in stone that the three of them will go back to the palace to take down Sakomoto and steal his treasure. Masayoshi ensures the two that he’ll fight along side them, but also act as a navigator since he dosen’t want the two to waste their time running around getting lost in the palace. Back in the Metaverse are they instructed to start going by codenames, especially with the fact that they’re dealing with someone from their school. Thus Sojiro goes by the codename of BOSS, Suguru as CAPTIAN, and Masayoshi as JACKAL. The infiltration of the warship begins, starting their first heist as thieves. Soon to their surprise do they see that they have another familiar face amongst them unknown to having been transported to this world. Sadyo Kawakami is found to be captured much like Sojiro and Suguru were, and while she’s being restentlessly taunted by the track coach who gives her grief day in and day out does something snap inside of her despite all her initial weak feelings that cloud her thoughts. Sojiro yells to her that she needs to fight back - and fight back she does. MADAME is born along side her Persona VENUS.  When questioned how she got into the metaverse does Saydo explain that she had heard the three of them talking about Sakamoto, and might have been eavesdropping on them to see what they were up to...in the end she got sucked into this world. All of that aside do the four continue their heist, never once stopping at their true goal to stop the WARLORD OF WRATH and have him ATONE for his SINS.
