Break It Down (elp version) - Persona 5
The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden light over the airport as students from Class 78-A trickled into the terminal.
Makoto stood near the check-in counter, his eyes scanning the crowd of familiar faces. A mix of excitement and exhaustion was palpable in the air. The weekend had finally arrived, bringing with it the long-anticipated school trip to Paris, France.
After the tense nights spent investigating Matsuda's laptop and the chaos surrounding the Phantom Thieves, the thought of a few days of relaxation and exploration seemed almost too good to be true. He was a little tired from the night before, but given the sheer length of the flight, he knew he could catch up on sleep on the plane.
Kyoko was the first to join him, her suitcase rolling behind her with practiced efficiency. She wore her usual stoic expression, but a slight hint of interest flickered in her eyes as she glanced around the airport.
Even someone as composed as Kyoko seemed a little intrigued by the idea of traveling to Paris, even if she knew it was just the Steering Committee's excuse to get her out of their hair.
"You're packed for every possible outcome, I'm guessing?" Makoto asked, offering her a small smile.
"Of course. You never know what might happen," Kyoko replied, her lips quirking slightly at the edges.
They were soon joined by Byakuya Togami, who appeared as unimpressed as ever, his suitcase in tow, with Toko Fukawa trailing behind him.
Toko nervously pushed up her glasses, glancing at Makoto and Kyoko as she mumbled something about how excited she was, all while maintaining a safe distance from everyone else.
Hina bounded over next, her energy as infectious as ever.
"Makoto! Kyoko! This is going to be so amazing! I've always wanted to visit France!" she exclaimed, bouncing on her heels and practically glowing with excitement. "I mean, the food, the culture, the sights—it's all going to be incredible!"
"It will be good for everyone to take some time to rest and recharge, especially after all that's happened recently," Sakura said, following behind Hina with a calm and measured pace. She nodded in agreement, her presence steady and reassuring.
Makoto nodded as well, his thoughts briefly drifting back to the tension of the past few days.
"Yeah...we could all use a break," he affirmed.
As more students arrived, the atmosphere grew livelier. Mondo and Taka appeared, engaged in an intense discussion about their travel plans. Leon and Sayaka chatted nearby, while Chihiro and Hifumi excitedly talked about the tech they might see in Paris. Celeste, true to form, looked as though she had just stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine, coolly observing the scene with a faint smile.
By the time everyone had gathered, the airport was buzzing with energy. Even the typically reserved students like Hiro and Mukuro seemed more relaxed, the promise of adventure lifting the mood.
Makoto couldn't help but smile as he looked around at his classmates. Despite everything they had been through, they remained a tight-knit group. Moments like this reminded him of how much they had grown together.
"Alright, everyone!" Chisa Yukizome's voice cut through the chatter, drawing the group's attention, "Let's make sure we have everything in order before we board."
As they lined up to check in and receive their tickets, Makoto glanced around once more, feeling a swell of excitement himself.
In just a few hours, they'd be on their way to Paris.
