I've been worried about someone, myself. The woman I asked you to draw earlier, Sae Nijima. She's been going down a dangerous and morally questionable path of late, and the most recent thing I can remember now is trying to help her return to her senses.
[The reply takes a little while, as he considers his answer.]
Female prosecutors are uncommon where I'm from, so it's difficult for her to gain people's respect. She's been increasingly focused on the advancement of her career, to the point of forgetting the sense of justice that initially drove her. It's reached the point of harassing innocent people for evidence in her cases, even threatening them if they don't comply with her wishes.
She's not the Sae-san I used to know, anymore. The kindness she had when we first met has almost entirely disappeared.
There is something I'm trying to do, but it's...dangerous. Mostly to those of us trying, admittedly, but there's still no guarantee we'll succeed. I am confident in our abilities, though, so I have hope we'll be able to push her back to the path of justice.
It might be a little dangerous, but I wouldn't call it stupid. My teammates have done this in far more extreme situations several times before, and we're all very skilled. The risk is worth the reward, in this case.
You've seen that my and Akira's profiles call us Phantom Thieves, right? It's a little misleading, since we don't steal objects, like the thieves in stories. Our target is the hearts, or rather the manifestations of the distorted desires of warped individuals.
The psience behind it is a little complicated, but the gist of it is that we enter a world built out of the cognition of a person who sees the world in a distorted way, make them aware that their desires can be stolen, and take the object those desires take the form of within the cognitive world. We do have to fight dangerous manifestations of negative emotions, but we have powers that give us a strong advantage.
No, that's actually how it's spelled. Cognitive Psience is a mixture of supernatural and scientific, based in theories of the power of cognition. Since it leans more heavily on the supernatural side, people who study it refer to it as psience rather than science.
