(Undeniably, Leo didn’t recognize him, even when he was more than familiar with his Phantom Thief attire. Surprisingly, he didn’t hesitate to lunge towards him, blade aimed straight with the intent to hurt. Ren’s main concern had been to have them snap out of it and to protect them from the nightmare and ever since, he has not seen his orange-haired friend.

Ren doesn’t blame him, but at the same time, he can’t stop thinking about it. Staring at his notebook and spinning the pen around his fingers as he rests on a booth, Ren once again goes over the entry for what he had seen, trying to comprehend it and see from different angles. He needs to discuss this with Leo, to check if he’s alright. Mementos is not an easy place to be in back home and with the how it reacted here, it sure was traumatizing to most of the Void residents. He can’t help but to feel sorry, but that’s a conversation for another time.

He seems to be considering all this right on time though, with how he spots the orange strands entering the shop. )

(The calm after the storm. Ren’s by himself in his apartment, just trying to organize things better now that it’s been a while. If anyone were to look too closely, they’d find many contrasting items that just don’t belong in the field of flowers that make up his room. Molotov cocktails in boxes stored under the bed, a drawer full of lockpicks of different sizes and uses, along with several smokescreens in case they need it. A large dagger, hanging from a hook on the wall. It’s fine, though, as for the sea of colors and floral fragrancies surely come in first view and tend to distract from everything else.

He’s finally done for now though, watering the last of the pots before pouring himself some coffee into an opaque black mug, which is when he hears the knocks on the door. Without much thought, Ren opens it to find nothing at first glance. At least he’s smart enough to look down… And oh! Turing. The boy kneels to greet them from a more comfortable viewpoint.)

Hey, Turing.

(Ren has not properly left the room ever since he woke up under a pile of friends three days ago. There are drinks and ingredients in the fridge, new things to test to least lessen his worries, time to cool down from all the things he’s heard and experienced down in Mementos and, well. There’s the actual reason he hasn’t moved – Akechi, unconscious on their bed. His heart is beating, his chest raises and deflates, but he doesn’t wake, doesn’t move.

There’s the possibility that he might never do again, with the unpredictable element of the Void and their lack of understanding of it.

Even so, Ren is still holding out to hope. Akechi’s a force of nature and Ren refuses to doubt that, even when the situation is looking rather bleak. Akechi’ll pull through, whatever may be happening on the other side of his peaceful sleep and Ren should be here for him for when that happens. The younger boy can be found sitting on a chair next to the bed, Akechi’s hand resting under his own while the other holds his notebook loosely on his lap. His tiredness now can be seen, the entire room painted pitch black as Ren’d joined the realm of dreams as well.)

(Routine is getting more stable now with how time seems to have gotten itself back together. Blue and himself managed to put up a schedule, which now has been taped to the wall near the door, and right now, it's Ren's shift.

He's not alone. As many times before, Damien is sitting at the bar, waiting for his cup of coffee. By now, Ren can confidently provide the blend he knows to be the other's preference, so after a few minutes of brewing and tending to the preparation, Ren gently sets the cup on top of the bar for the other to enjoy.

And, of course, he pours himself one too.)

(Well, that was a trip he wasn't expecting. Perhaps he was too harsh on Ann, but what's done is done and he won't press it. Instead, he returns to his room when time is due, thanking Yoshizawa for being with Akechi while he was out and making himself a cup of coffee to think over.

She'll come if and when she wants to. She knows where he is. )
