So chronologically Yusuke goes after Ryuji's but my friend is gonna explain Yusuke's so its Haru's turn
Astarte's Adelaide's Meadow
Heavenly Virtue: Charity
Palace Ruler: Haru Okumura
Treasure: Core of the Meadow (Cognitive), Father's death certificate (Reality)
Haru's palace is her father's space station crash landed onto Earth. The Sci-fi aesthetic of the station is destroyed by plants and greenery that covers the palace. It manifests this way from Haru's nurturing and caring nature being mixed in with her complicated relationship with Okumura foods and her father. Adelaide is the name of the saint her new persona is but at the start of the palace, the Infiltrators are lead to believe its called "Astarte's Meadow" as Haru is still renovating the space station and hasn't updated the sign.
Shadow Haru is a forest witch with a long white dress and her short hair turned long and luscious, reaching down to her fingertips.
Shadow Haru is well regarded in her palace with the shadows actually addressing her as "mother", fitting her nurturing nature and her virtue of Charity. Despite this however, Shadow Haru can be quite cruel as in the real world, all Okumura food chains along with other businesses under her control have a unique system of payment. If you're kind and virtuous, you can get items severely discounted or free of charge but if you're judged as evil and or a detriment to society, items are charged at higher prices which can hike up to millions of yen for a simple burger.
This is a problem for the Infiltrators who are judged to be problematic due to them opposing the Phantom Thieves. Hilariously, Akechi's prices are far higher than Sumire and Maruki's but even Maruki, who gave the Thieves therapy, can't get a remotely reasonable price so the Infiltrators will be getting supplies by a different means which will be detailed in another post.
Gameplay wise, her palace has fetch quests as to proceed you have to give vegetables to cognitions. These vegetables are the ones she grew for the Phantom Thieves so can't be found anywhere outside of her palace. Your etiquette with the cognitions will be carefully watched as if your anything short of polite and kind with them, Haru will be alerted and you will likely get into a fight. Aside from fetch quests, you also have to go around collecting parts from the wreckage of the space station to create a laser in order to be able to access her treasure as its hidden away under vines so thick, it could break the Infiltrators' weapons if they tried to force it.
Shadow Haru's distortion views her cognitions as her children and as their mother, it is her duty to ensure they grow happy and healthy in a world rid of corruption and greed. It is from this distortion that causes her Shadow's feelings on her father to look very different. Regular Haru loves her father and mourns him, Shadow Haru has a far more negative view of her father, considering him a greedy spaceman who abandoned her for a utopia he didn't make it to and she chose to stay in his space station to completely wreck it and turn it into her home base as she works with the Phantom Thieves for their utopia.

Vicky stared into the depths of her mug. The tea had long since cooled in it's half drank state. But she didn't notice. Her reflection had her full attention.
She looked terrible. Bags under her eyes that were red from crying. Her complexion pale, once well kept hair unbrushed and unwashed. Once bright, full of mischief brown eyes were now dull.
She didn't care.
Her heart was too broken to care. After everything else that has happened in her life, fate dealt her the cruelest blow yet. Her mother was gone. The hole left behind was enormous, and she wished she could just fall into it. To just disappear. She wanted it to swallow her pain and silence it.
The mug was pushed away and she dropped her head into her arms, and cried.
I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy, And be your reality, And everything between
An effort was made to clean herself up. To look like she had her shit together. Even if she didn't. Vicky couldn't hide away. Not today. Arrangements had to be made.
She looked at her reflection in her mirror. It was still very obvious that something was wrong, but at least she didn't look like a walking corpse. A zombie made from grief, pain. At least she wasn't crying, for now.
After a long sigh, she left her apartment. The path she took ran along side another. A path that led to warmth, laughter, friendship. But had denied her something deeper. She hadn't gone there in a long while, and she wondered if they, if he, missed her.
If he did, it was nothing like she missed him. She wrapped her arms tight around herself and passed the turn that brought her to the well used manhole cover. She couldn't bring herself to go that way, no matter how much she wanted to do so.
No matter how much she desperately wanted to feel his arms around her, to hope that this time he would take back those words. Where he told her how he felt about her. Friends. Nothing more. But, she needed more. Her life felt so empty and alone.
I want you to need me, Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me, In everything
I want you to see me, In your every dream
The way that I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
I want you to need me (need me)
Like I need you
Vicky was crying again when she stepped out of the funeral home. It seemed like she couldn't stop. Nothing before felt anything like this pain. One of the solid foundation blocks in her life was gone. Now that her foundation was so unstable, she herself could barely keep her entire mental state from disintegrating.
She didn't want to go home. Home seemed so cold, empty. A place where she would once more fall into endless despair. Instead, her feet slowly took her towards Central Park. To the gentle peace of a quiet corner. To feel something. Even if it was only just the warmth of the sun on her skin.
It wasn't the warmth she wanted. Or needed.
I want to be the eyes that look deep into your soul, I want to be the world to you
I just want it all, I want to be your deepest kiss
The answer to your every wish, And all you ever need
The bench under her was firm, supportive. But did nothing to soothe her torn soul. Her eyes were once more dull, unseeing as she watched the ducks swim in the pond. Her mind on someone else.
On him.
Vicky was pulling every memory she had of him to the forefront. To fight the never-ending ache that reached deep into her heart. At first it seemed to work, an occasional smile touched her face. But, all too soon, real life came crashing down around her once more. The sun was setting, and it was cold, and she was alone.
Fighting back tears, she stood up and began walking out of the park.
I want you to need me, Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me, In everything
I want you to see me, In your every dream
The way that I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
I want you to need me (need me)
The view was stunning. It always was from this high up. The way the lights shined over the now dark city never failed to take her breath away.
They weren't as bright as she remembered them tonight. Some of their luster had gone. Her eyes scanned over the rooftops as she sat on the edge of the parapet, dangerously close to falling. She wasn't scared. She was numb to everything.
A small surge of hope surged through her as her eyes kept wandering. Vicky knew who she was looking for without even having to ponder over it. Was he out tonight? Was he patrolling? Was he laughing, or chiding his brothers for some form of mischief? Was he saving a life? Was he being someone's hero? He'd probably fuss at her if he saw her sitting out here like this, so close to the edge. At least, he would if he was here.
He wasn't.
God, why couldn't he be hers? Why?
'Cause I need you more than you could know
And I need you to never, never let me go
And I need to be deep inside your heart
I just want to be everywhere you are
She looked hard at that same manhole cover. It was late now. Well past midnight. They might still be out, or already back and settling down for the night. He could already be asleep. She shouldn't go. It would be rude to stop by this late. Especially after not having stopped by for so long.
Did he even still see her as a close friend? She knew why she stayed away, but would he know? Or understand? Would she be welcome?
No, she shouldn't go. She should just go back home.
Back home to isolation and grief fueled misery.
The sound of the manhole cover was loud in the otherwise quiet night.
I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes (baby)
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy
And be your reality, And everything between
She had to force her feet to move. So scared that she would be rejected. Shunned. But the comfort of his presence was needed more than her irrational fears could hold her back. Her soft footsteps moved in the dark tunnels
I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
The closer she got, the more she fought for control. Her chest tightened and her lip began to quiver.
I want you to feel me
In everything
By the time she rounded that last turn to the lair, she had to hold herself up on the wall with one hand for support. The closer she got the harder her feelings boiled to the surface.
I want you to see me
In your every dream
'Cause baby, I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
They…hadn't changed the code for the security system…. That was a good thing…. Right? She silently slipped inside.
I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
They were home. She could hear Raph snoring, and hear the faint sounds of Donnie working in his lab.
I want you to feel me
In your everything
The relief of that broke any restraint she had left on her emotions. As much as she wanted to see all of the brothers again, there was one who unknowingly called out to her the most.
I want you to see me
In your every dream
Her faltering steps finally stopped outside his door.
'Cause baby, I taste you, feel you, breathe you, need you
She was crying openly now. Tears flowing down her cheeks in small streams.
I want you to need me (need me)
She knocked.
Like I need you (need me)
Like I need you (need me)
Like I need you…..
"Leo? It's me. Can….Can I come in? Please?"
