There's a horse-racing mobile game that's been popular at school in some circles. Ryuji brought it up at a team meeting today and suggested I could star in a mouse-racing game. Futaba tutted at him, saying he just doesn't "get it."

I guess it's a good thing that the frequent posters on the Phan-Site are there to watch us rather than taking matters into their own hands. Otherwise, innocent people could be targeted just because someone else shared their name.
It's a bit frightening to think about.

Sometimes we get requests on the Phan-Site for people whose hearts aren't distorted. The posts are anonymous though so we can't check if the poster is the one who is actually distorted.

We've gotten some requests lately about AI scammers, but we're unable to do anything without a name.
When we ask Futaba, she just looks at us like we're crazy and then tries to explain using words we don't understand. When we look confused she gets embarrassed and then hides in her room for day.

Ms. Kawakami was wearing a long cardigan over her usual knit and skirt outfit. She looked much more comfortable.
She kept looking over to our side of the room though. I wonder if one of the students on this side was looking at her strangely.

Haru suggested we take a day trip somewhere with snow since we might not get any we can play in here. It would be a long day but doable, kind of like our beach trip. I did a lot of the planning for that one though. Will I be able to as a mouse?

It was announced that students who came in "reasonably" late yesterday due to the train outage are excused.
Ann wondered if the ones who took longer might have entered the Metaverse. I'm not sure why she would think that, but Ren and Ryuji did not seem amused.

Ryuji was noticing that our popularity hasn't changed much on the Phan-Site. He seems rather torn. On one hand, he'd like us to be more popular. On the other, he can't take advantage of that popularity anyway.

Ren left me with Ryuji after school, saying he had errands to run. He usually takes me along and tug at his turtleneck if he forgets something.
Ryuji told me that I wasn't going to get him to start his homework early. I hadn't even tried yet! (I wasn't sure how...)

Our school isn't particularly well-heated in the winter. Ms. Kawakami looks rather cold. I asked Ren why she doesn't wear layers. His eyes got big but then he quickly said he didn't know.
Later I overheard him asking Ann what layers would be appropriate but he stopped when he saw I was there.

I wonder if we'll be Phantom Thieves forever.
There seem to be no shortage of Palaces or requests and while we help some people, the distortions seem endless.

Despite the Phan-Site being mis-used before, we still check it for potential targets. It seems wrong to ignore pleas when we have this ability.
Futaba is keeping an eye on it for signs of manipulation. Maybe that makes it okay?

So we went to Futaba's room after school. Futaba watched while Ann and Ren tried to show her how to better manage her things... though Ann sat down for a breather and neither Ann nor Futaba helped from that point on, only Ren.
Futaba declared success after the room was clean.

Ann got the idea that Futaba should participate in New Years cleaning, even if a bit late. Boss and Ren and Morgana all said it was a bad idea and they haven't even seen Ann's place before. Clothes everywhere.

We finally did our first shrine visit after school, avoiding the weekend. It was a low-key affair. None of us dressed up. Being all together made it special though.

Happy new year!
Ren and Boss are back to cleaning already, but I think at least Boss will turn in soon and maybe wake up early for the sunrise.
Futaba is more awake than she was all day.

We've been up since early cleaning for the new year. I'm helping by grabbing small bits of trash that even Morgana can't reach. It's a little icky, but I like that I'm contributing.
I'm not sure everyone will make it til midnight though. Futaba is already fading.

No requests. No Palace. It's kind of nice having a break at the end of the year, though hard to enjoy it completely when we all feel something is likely to happen soon...
Though I think Ryuji is more stressed about school starting again.
I just wish we could solve my predicament...

Though we're out of requests for now, we went to Mementos to see if things had changed. Our Santa suits are gone now.
Don't tell anyone, but I kind of miss them, even with the bell...

We went back to Mementos a third time. Once again, we were in Santa suits. It was Christmas after all. We delivered the wrapped items. The shadows seemed really happy. They led us right to our targets!

Futaba and Ryuji got the idea that since Futaba is a reindeer, she should be out in front of Morgana as we drive through Mementos. Apparently the combination of genius and foolish is still foolish.
Fortunately, Ren quickly nixed the idea since Futaba might fall off and get run over.

We went back to Mementos today with loads of 'gifts' for the shadows. As we suspected, we were still in our Santa suits.
The gift-giving trick didn't work though. The first shadow complained they weren't real gifts because they weren't wrapped.
Ann said we should just bring them coal instead.

We went to Mementos for some requests. Instead of our phantom thief outfits, we were all dressed in Santa outfits! ...except Futaba who had a reindeer outfit and Morgana who was a snowman.
I had a little scarf with a bell.
There were lots of bells. It didn't feel very stealthy.

Ryuji looked pretty worn out by the end of exams. Ann was worried he was going to faint. Futaba said she could see his soul exiting his mouth.
I thought he would sleep once he got home, but somehow he's still up playing video games though. (At least, that's what Futaba says...)

Though Ren usually drops me off at Futaba's for exams, I've been going this time to cheer on Ryuji during lunch.
Last time, I don't think I noticed how fast Ren's writing hand moves when he's 'in the zone.'
Ryuji however... he stays up all night but doesn't study, the worst of both worlds.
