"Think, Ren. Or do I really have to spell it out for you?"

The dreamscape ripples, and with another wave of frustration, the cafe itself shifts into an odd amalgamation of Leblanc and...

The engine room.

An image of Akechi in his princely garb stares through the present day Akechi and straight at Ren.

I wonder why we couldn't have met a few years earlier, Ren...

The real Akechi winces. He didn't intend for this to happen, and yet...

"Imagine, a world where my crimes never transpired. A world where I wasn't so 'broken.' Maruki offered it to me. Surely you remember..."

Akechi-kun! Don't throw away your life! If you're with Amamiya-kun and his friends, you could begin to atone what you've done!

"...But in such a world, I'd cease to be 'me.' Everything I am... I'm certain he'd wipe it away, leaving me a hollowed out husk. I wouldn't have been the same Goro Akechi you knew. The death of the self is still a form of death... and you spared me from that fate."
