"Staging your crimes with calling cards... It's hard to believe that a student could manage this alone. An adult--for example, someone talented enough to move people with words--perhaps they coached you. ...Isn't that right!?" - Sae Niijima , interrogating the protagonist about Toranosuke Yoshida. "
This article covers information about the Sun Confidant , Toranosuke Yoshida Persona 5 Persona 5 Royal

Completing Yoshida's Confidant enables the fusion of Asura . He also gives the protagonist a Fountain Pen New Game Plus .
