She meets a group of persona users who welcome her into their group with open arms, aware of her history as a Phantom Thief, desperate for her aid and knowledge.
Everything falls apart and the case results to most either returning home with deep wounds or not returning at all.

Summary
Part 2 to 'Moose and Squirrel'
After joining the Shadow Operatives to take on international cases, the duo is sent to a reservation in Canada, which was rumored to contain generations of persona users. They are accompanied by their US friends, the elder Shirogane, and Yakushiji. The mission foils, and the Velvet Room is infiltrated. With a hint provided by Igor before his disappearance, Moose and Squirrel are caught in a game of espionage by traversing through a makeshift illusion layer of reality called "The Veil," spying on the Phantom Thieves during the events that unfold in 2016, and leveraging through the information they learn during their hunt to find the missing assistants and the true Igor. In the meantime, Amatsu-Mikaboshi leverages the tossed pawn of Yaldabaoth’s game to her advantage, in hopes that by voiding his contract and shifting it to herself, his reign of control will cease and they will restore the Velvet Room to its former glory.
Recycled and rewritten Amatsu and Sousei from Persona X Detective Naoto. This AU takes place before and during Persona 5/Royal. In the process of re-pacing.

Summary
AO3 warnings based on nature of the case.
2015 - A TV murder mystery surrounding university sexual assault victims unfolds in Los Angeles, California, which piques the interest of the Shadow Operatives. Naoto is assigned to investigate in order to branch out international relations and accolades. To gain full access to the source- a prestigious university, Naoto is tasked to go undercover as an instructor. Kanji decides to join and assists in the investigation. A new branch of the IT unfolds with the help of the newly hired LAPD Lieutenant, a single mother who was one of the assault victims, and a trio of nomads: a boho self-proclaimed spiritual guide, a semi-mute guitarist, and a stoner. With the aid of a diverse group of characters, the former delinquent and killjoy detective duo braced themselves for a labyrinth of corruption and conspiracy left over from the previous terminated lieutenant, as well as the paranormal advances of the newly formed realm plagued by a suffering primordial entity, who accused the detective of awakening it.Series
