    Summary

    “You’re normally such a poor actor,” Cid says. “Taken lessons, have you?”

    Clive and Cid go undercover to investigate whether a mysterious figure trading in Bearers is friend or foe.

    Summary

    The Phantom Thieves have nearly secured their route through Maruki's Palace. There’s only one section left: The Twilight Corridor. A paradise where everything is perfect, and everyone is always smiling.

    In order to enter that place, the Thieves must first prove they've "completed orientation" and can be "happy." There are points, there is a scoreboard, and they’re locked together in an experimental space where wishes can be granted by simply saying them aloud. Everyone has to individually earn 100 happiness points, or no one is leaving.

    So what is “happiness,” really? How does Maruki define happiness? What the hell is a quantifiable happiness point? Is there any way around this? Don’t these stupid kids realize this is a trick to get them to fall back into the thrall of Maruki’s reality? And why can’t Goro earn any fucking points?

    (Or: I've been watching too much Dropout Game Changer and I’ve built an Akechi torture chamber.)

    Includes illustrations by the amazing engraved!
