Page 1 of a comic featuring Goro Akechi and Akira Kurusu/Joker from Persona 5 royal. They're in Penguin Sniper, playing darts.
Panel 1: Akira prepares to throw a dart while Akechi watches. Akechi says: "I do not understand you."
Panel 2: Akira throws the dart and hits a bullseye, replying: "... Okay."
Panel 3: Akira looks back at Akechi, who's still watching him closely, then asks: "Where's this coming from?"

Page 3. The setting has changed, and they're now in Jazz Jin, sitting across from each other and drinking bright red mocktails.
Panel 1: Akira takes a sip from his drink and responds, casually: "Not everything is a strategic choice, detective."
Panel 2: Akechi scoffs: "Hah. Nonsense."
Panel 3: He stirs his drink with a straw and then begins: "Here's the thing, Joker."
Panel 4: Leaning over a little, Akechi stares Akira down, saying: "I've long since learned not to underestimate you."
Panel 5: Close up shots of their eyes. Akechi is frowning, staring rather intensely, while Akira looks back blankly. Akechi continues: "If I know anything, is that you're not completely brainless. So tell me. Why are you doing this?"

Page 4. The scene has changed yet again, and they're now in Leblanc, still sitting across from each other, but now playing a match of chess. Akira has the black pieces, and Akechi has the white ones. There are very few pieces left on the board-- it's nearing the end of the game.
Panel 1: Akira, looking tired and a little impatient, leans his head against his hand and picks up his queen piece, saying: "Akechi... We're friends."
Panel 2: He puts Akechi in check while looking off to the side, continuing: "This is what friends do, they spend time together. I know this might be new to you, but--"
Panel 3: Akechi, seeing his move and hearing his words, widens his eyes in outrage.
Panel 4: Akechi quickly moves to pull one of his pieces, a rook, backwards across the board.
Panel 5: He stands up, looming over the board where it's shown that he's put Akira into checkmate, as Akira looks surprised. Akechi says: "Do not try to make this about me. We are talking about you."

Page 5. They're now in Mementos. Akira looks visibly injured, with several bruises peppering his face, while Akechi looks relatively unscathed.
Panel 1: Akechi swings his sword at Akira, exclaiming: "You're human, no matter how much everyone thinks of you as a fucking saint!"
Panel 2: Akira, wide-eyed, braces himself, getting the sleeve of his jacket slashed.
Panel 3: Akechi points his sword accusatorily at Akira, who's recoiling from the previous attack by sliding backwards and away from him. He continues: "There's no way you do everything you do just for the benefit of other people!"
Panel 4: Akechi, looking furious, prepares for another attack. He shouts: "There has to be an ulterior motive, something you're gaining from this!"

Page 6.
Panel 1: Akechi runs towards Akira, ready to swing again.
Panel 2: Akira holds his hands out in front of him as if to ask him to stop, as Akechi yells: "SO--"
Panel 3: Akechi jumps in the air and swings at Akira, knocking him backward. He continues: "-- WHAT--"
Panel 4: A close up shot of Akira's wide eyed expression.
Panel 5: Akira hits the floor, falling on his back.
Panel 5: Akira has fallen prone, and Akechi has pinned him down and put the tip of his sword right against his throat. He finishes: "--IS IT?!"

Page 7.
Panel 1: A shot of the background, of the chained door in Mementos they were fighting in front of. Akira's portrait is seen on the side with dialogue options next to it, resembling the game. One says "I don't understand.", another "That's a sad way to think", and the third "Should I apply for sainthood?". The second option appears to be selected.
Panel 2: The same shot of the background, now coloured entirely in deep shades of red.
Panel 3: The same shot of the background, but now fading into black. There are barely visible blood splatters against the bottom of the door.
Panel 4: The scene has changed to Akira's room, the attic above Leblanc. The shot lingers on an old CRT TV sitting atop a table, showing an old fighting game. One of the characters is on the ground on his back, his health depleted to zero, while another stands next to him, posing victorious. "PLAYER 2 WINS!" Is overlaid on top of them.

Page 8. They're in Akira's room, the attic above Leblanc, backlit by the sunset. Akira has bandages on his face in the same places as his injuries from the previous scene.
Panel 1: Akechi looks unamused, holding one of the controllers in his hand. Offscreen, Akira hesitates: "I..."
Panel 2: A shot of the games console. Akechi puts his controller down next to it. Akira says: "I guess I've always kind of felt like..."
Panel 3: The TV screen, now having dimmed to black, shows a hazy reflection of Akira on it, who carries on: "Like I have no real say over the things I want or need."
Panel 4: A shot from directly behind Akira, showing the back of his head, as he cowers a little in his chair. He continues: "Like they're always being defined by something outside of me."

Page 9.
Panel 1: Akira looks down, while Akechi continues to stare at him as he speaks: "But... caring about you..."
Panel 2: A shot of Akira's hands as he grips the controller, saying: "that feels like a choice that I made."
Panel 3: Akira finally turns to look at Akechi, smiling a little: "Being around you reminds me of that."
Panel 4: A close up of Akechi's eyes, not visibly expressing any emotion.
Panel 5: A shot from downstairs in Leblanc. Sumire, Futaba, and Haru are sitting together in a booth, Haru and Sumire are laughing at something Futaba is saying. Offscreen, Akira continues: "It makes me feel like an actual person."
Panel 6: Another shot from Leblanc. Ryuji, Yusuke, Ann and Morgana are sitting together at the counter. Yusuke and Ann are attempting to drink coffee while Ryuji and Morgana squabble with each other. Akira finishes saying: "Like I'm actually alive, like... like everyone else is."

Page 10. They're back in Penguin Sniper, still playing darts.
Panel 1: Akira rubs at the back of his neck, looking a little awkward. Hesitantly, he asks: "Does that make any sense?"
Panel 2: Akechi looks on, presumably at the dartboard, with a blank expression on his face.
Panel 3: He prepares to take the shot, and then finally answers: "... No."
Panel 4: A close up shot of the dartboard. The dart Akechi threw has just missed the bullseye, lodging itself at a place worth only 1 point. Akechi, offscreen, concludes: "Not at all."
