"Oh, well, I suppose being friends with a middle-aged weirdo like me would be kind of strange, huh?" A light, easy chuckle, self-effacing but without an ounce of self-pity. "No worries there, Akechi-san."

He rocks on his heels, hands now fidgeting with the keys in his hand as he exhales through his nose. "But, you know—I actually wanted to approach you back when we were both at Shujin Academy. And then you went missing, not even a month later. And now—" His eyes flicker, really seeing Akechi’s wings for the first time. His gaze lingers, fascinated, taking in every detail, every feather. "Now we’re here. In this...current upheaval."

A pause. And then—

"Well, I suppose I’ll have plenty of time to reflect here. Work on my thesis. Maybe I’ll gain some profound new insights on how cognition manifests here since clearly you have a persona," The cognitive world can't be traversed easily without one, judging from the sheer experience in Akechi's tone as well as the fact that he worked with the phantom thieves. "—or maybe I’ll just end up turning into some funny little sludge monster instead, huh?"
