My theory on how Persona 6's plot and prologue will unfold based on all current teasers and leaks

Here is how the game’s prologue and main premise will likely unfold:

1. The Phase of "Green Boredom" (The Melancholy) (in Russian cultur) The game will start by introducing us to our androgynous protagonist (reportedly named Toma Karaki) who transfers to a prestigious Art High School/College in the foggy, rainy port city of Yokohama. The neon-green theme here will perfectly represent the Japanese concept of Midori (immaturity/being green) and the global feeling of "green melancholy" (boredom and stagnation). The MC feels isolated, like a total outsider trapped in a gray, uninspiring school routine.
2. The Trigger Tragedy (The Persona 3 Legacy) A massive tragedy occurs early in the semester. A popular student, a rival artist, or someone close to the main cast dies under mysterious circumstances—likely at the historic Yokohama Foreign Cemetery (which matches the rainy graveyard scene from the teaser with the monument saying "Gone but not forgotten"). The internet, social media, and local news immediately catch wind of this, sensationalizing the student's death for clicks, views, and traffic.
3. The Web of Rumors and Toxic Outbreak (The Persona 4 + "Paranoia Agent" Hybrid) Because the true cause of death is hidden, a wave of intense anxiety, jealousy, and paranoia infects the student body. Anonymous forums and group chats start throwing around wild accusations, pointing fingers, and cyberbullying potential "suspects." This is where the Neon-Green color shifts into its dark western meaning: toxic envy and jealousy. The combination of the Fear of Death (P3) and running away into a Sweet Lie (P4) mutates the Collective Unconscious of Yokohama into a distorted digital nightmare. The glitchy, screaming Shadow-monsters we see in the teaser are born directly from this toxic pool of cyber-harassment and rumors.
4. Facing the Backlash and Awakening The internet rumors and toxic cancel culture eventually target the protagonist or his closest friend directly. The social media environment literally "suffocates" them, leaving them with no voice to defend themselves against fake news. Driven into a panic attack, the MC slips into the "World of the Dead" through a grave-portal. Facing the Shadows, he overcomes his fear, stands up against the toxic noise, breaks through the digital censorship glitches, and awakens to his Persona. From this point on, the main cast will form a sort of underground vigilante group to infiltrate the minds of those consumed by paranoia, clearing the city of the poisonous fog of misinformation.

How I came up with these facts and predictions:

The Graveyard Visuals: The teaser heavily focuses on a rainy cemetery, which points to a major narrative focus on death and tragic events, much like P3. The Yokohama Leak: Recent insider leaks and file data pointed to Yokohama and a specialized Art College setting rather than Tokyo, which grounds the "creative jealousy" motive. Color Blending & Psychology: If you physically mix the Blue of P3 (Death/Fate) and the Yellow of P4 (Truth/Lies), you get Green. Philosophically, mixing the fear of death with a web of lies naturally creates toxic paranoia, envy ("green with envy"), and cyber-bullying. Inspiration from "Paranoia Agent": The overall glitchy, unstable tone of the teaser highly mimics Satoshi Kon's masterpiece, where social stress, internet rumors, and media panic literally manifest a physical monster that haunts the city.
