The Letter of Goro Akechi to the Phantom Thieves

Summary:

On the night he was to betray himself, he took the ink. He lifted it to the paper and he said this.
A poem fic about who really drove the plot of Persona 5.

Chapter Text

I know your works.
I know you neither fear me nor hate me.
I wish you either feared me or hated me.

So, because you are lukewarm
I will spit this story out of my mouth
When I am gone --

-- all things willing, I will be gone --
you will read this and
understand.

If I must admit to being a puppet
As you forced me to confront
As I confronted myself

Then I will not let you believe
that my master was the crusty stain
who sired me into this pitiful existence

No, there was another, I recall now
who bound my wrists and my ankles
to a crossbar like some sort of hanged man

And I know he had bound you too,
The unquestionable leader,
And made us dance this tarantella.

How fitting, your alias, for this cosmic joke.
