(Does he? Akechi won't exist anymore when they return and face their fate and as for Ren, he will go to prison, for God knows how long considering he is the leader of the Phantom Thieves with a prior. He has been asked what he wanted to do with his life and the answer never comes, he had already braced himself for whatever kind of future he could have with his record on his back.
Akechi, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be dissuaded from his self-sacrificing when it comes to Ren. He only stepped back a little, taking a hand to his chin to lift his head gently, slowly not to scare the older man and caress his cheek with the one that left his waist.)
I won't let it come close to that ever again.
(He won't let death knock on their door, come close to either or any.
If Akechi looks, Ren's eyes send a message, a very clear plead for the other to not leave again.)
