I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious, but you didn't need to try and explain yourself to me. [if it were anyone else, or if Loki had hurt him, maybe, but -- well, it's sort of a moot point, anyway, at this point, isn't it?]

[though] Though, I thought you said you ended up dead, back home? [like him. that has come up, hasn't it? their ultimate, shitty fates? maybe Ren told him. either way, he knows how things end for Akechi, so how can he be said to have a future, let alone one that ends with his Personas fusing?]
