Five months … almost half a year. After five months in Tokyo, Ren was visiting Hawaii with the rest of his class and about to see the Phantom Thieves implode ahead of Okumura’s Palace. Five more months and they’d defeated Maruki, set reality right again, Akechi was presumed dead for the second time, and Ren was in juvie for breaking his probation. Ren’s only been here in Revan a few days at most, and Tokyo already feels like a lifetime ago.
