Summary
His so-called "death" is the best thing that has ever happened to him.
He has a damn good job with the Kirijo Group, and he works with a team of people whom he can actually tolerate -and they don't even plot to murder him! No more Detective Prince bullshit. He's free to be himself - something that his fame had denied him throughout the latter part of his teen years. He barely misses his old life at all.
Really. He doesn't. 23-year-old Goro Akechi is very well-adjusted, thank you very much. He loves his life as a Shadow Operative.
That is, until tragedy strikes on a mission to the Metaverse and the Kirijo Group is forced to recruit more persona users...regardless of their past.
An AU 5 years post canon where Akechi is alive and the Phantom Thieves did a lot more than just thievery…if you catch my drift. Canon events will take place in dreams, flashbacks, and during therapy sessions because Goro needs to process some things.
