Akechi told Ren of one Persona-user other than them was also among their numbers here, but Ren hasn’t met him yet. And Ren is naturally a bit guarded around other people he doesn’t know, especially after the past year of Phantom Thieving. He doesn’t mind it being known here that he has a Persona, but Akechi’s secrets are his own to keep or share.

Ren hums a note of interest but otherwise doesn’t indicate one way or another if this is news to him.

“You know them?”
