With Joker captured It seemed their plan was being carried out without a hitch, all Makoto could do was trust in her leader and lover to be able to convince her sister to cooperate with them.
Even so the night before the assassination their do or die plan had left her stressed and worried, so much so that she continuously went over the plan in her head over and over again making sure she didnāt leave any significant holes in the plan that could cost them everything.
The plan went as followed Ren was to convince Sae to show the phone to Akechi, they would then use said phone and send him into Saeās palace so that he would kill the fake Ren thinking he had killed the real one, allowing Sae to rescue the real Ren with no one the wiser. It seemed solid enough but Makoto just couldnāt shake the feeling she had overlooked something important.
Thatās when it hit her if there was a cognitive Ren then it would stand to reason thereād be a cognitive Akechi who the real Akechi had a good chance of running into. At this realization she had assembled the phantom thieves together and decided to go into the metaverse while the plan was taking place to tie up and hide the cognitive Akechi to prevent them from meeting…. Or at least that was the original plan, Makoto had other ideas in mind.
Once they had the cognitive Akechi (after beating him to a pulp) far away enough from the police station they decided to leave the palace all except Makoto who told them she would secure a better hiding spot with all of them gone Makoto glared at the cognitive Being with a death stare more intense then sheās ever given anything, Akechi had threatened the lives of both her sister and boyfriend and while this wasnāt the real Akechi it looked close enough to serve as a good way to let out some steam for her, so using her personaās powers she shrunk the cognitive Akechi deciding to give him a āStomp of Justiceā crushing him into a bloody paste.
