"I doubt something as dangerous as your group could've been pulled off with orthodox methods. It wouldn't be odd if you had someone that was proficient in deceiving the eyes of others... ...If you're listening, then answer me!" —

This article covers information about the Lovers Confidant , Ann Takamaki , including events and skills featured in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal .
