The Army of Gluttony - Aftermath

[phantommods]

The Compound

As the team leaves the Metaverse, they are near enough to the compound to hear loud screaming as it erupts into chaos, with children and adults running around.

Those that stick around will hear the sirens of Fire Engines within minutes, followed soon after by Ambulances, and then after that by police. Those with access to James will see a truly gruesome sight - his eyes have gone completely white and black fluid is streaming out of his eyes and mouth. His body is stiff, his hands like claws as they clutch his throat. He is lying on the ground in a puddle of black fluid, neither moving nor breathing.

As the paramedics arrive on the scene they move to give aid with strict professionalism, but they can be seen making phone calls. When the police arrive, both Tamara and Bartholomew, as well as the other adult workers, are being led away in handcuffs, with social services descending upon the compound to liberate the children, including any Phantom Thieves who are willing to linger.

The Safehouse

For those returning to the safehouse, Shinji is grim when he hears the news. He orders in some pizza and puts some tea on before getting out of the way and letting the Thieves debrief in the living room.

"As it stands now, it's very likely that he knows more about us than we know about him."

"Them," She corrects herself with a pause, crossing her arms over her chest. Her expression distant and hard to read, she purses her lips together. "I'd like to believe that he acted alone, but I'm not so naive. He was too brazen to be a lone wolf."

"Well, he did enter the Palace no problem. He might be gotten some help like us. Besides, he couldn't follow us just like that."
