"Akechi... Yeah, I've met him. Though it was before everything went violent. He's still in one piece, right?"

[The other Persona user looked collected enough. And Akihiko always assumes that if someone has a Persona, they know their way in a fight. Or know how to keep well out of trouble and direct others in battle.

Akihiko closes his eyes, considering the unspoken question.]

"I... Can still call lightning. And patch my wounds. But now that you mention it, feels like something is missing outside of those two things. Don't know if I'd be able to kick my speed up a notch, if I had to. And I was never able to command my Persona to do any attacks, outside of magic.

Something happened to us, didn't it? And it's STILL happening to us."

[Oh. He's not happy about that, as the growl in the back of his throat shows.]
