… OK, maybe Ren got a chuckle over Mara once or twice, but his team’s discomfort and disgust wasn’t worth a repeat performance from that particular Persona. Broken focus in battle can spell disaster, and not all risks are equally worth taking. Ren shakes his head and shrugs.

“It’s pretty powerful, but nothing too special. I had others just as good or better.”

And not … that. Ren was quite content to hand Mara over to the twins.

“I’m surprised you remembered that.”

And gosh, Ren’s face sure is taking its time returning to normal coloring.
