Following a devastating loss that shakes the Phantom Thieves to their core, the remaining members find themselves at a crossroads, their bonds tested like never before. When prosecutor Sae Niijima arrives at Cafe Leblanc with urgent news, the team must reunite for what may be their most challenging mission yet.
