[It wasn't easy to draw compliments out of Kaiba, especially over games he didn't personally have a hand in creating or forwarding. His actions should speak louder since he hadn't abandoned his controller or ended the session prematurely.]

It's kind of hard to miss. [Ren is talking, and it's weird. I mean sure, he's not saying a lot but he is saying something.]

How many unique versions have you heard of?

[forethinking]

Around five or six.

(If assumptions count. Nothing guarantees that Parsee isn't from a Japan like his own, for instance.)

Even among us, there have been discrepancies in time.

(He means the Phantom Thieves, implied.)

[Assumptions count. Kaiba makes them all the time.. cough. With mixed success and failure.]

That's what I've heard.

[Courtesy of one pig-tailed birdy that likes to talk. As they proceeded to the next level and the difficulty increased, Kaiba focused on the gameplay exclusively for a few moments. When it seemed to ease up or he was getting the pattern he looked for something else to say.]

Wonder if there's a reason.

[Maybe their opponent was seeking someone specific but kept getting the wrong person? There he goes assuming the culprit behind the void has malicious intent]

[forethinking]

I don't know for sure.

(It's almost automatically at this point - his hands on muscle memory alone travelling the buttons of the controller. Rather than to dwell on things they have no control over or knowledge on, Ren simply renews his promise of getting the answer straight from the Void's mouth as soon as he has the chance.)

I imagine Ann has told you about our home. Is yours much different?

[No duh. Amamiya answered as if it had been a question, which it wasn't.

Gamewise, Kaiba couldn't rely on the same method since they hadn't played it enough for memorization to kick in, but he was no slouch on picking it up on the fly. As soon as a backdoor could be discovered to overwrite the programming of the void and release them, they could get their answers when they resumed real consciousness. cough.]

A bit. [Likely, an understatement.] As near as I can figure, they aren't that much different, no. The technology and architecture is comparable with some nuances. [There's no metaverse/cognitive world bull in his but he's only discussed that subject with Ann.. so..] Both have modern amenities, cell phones, video games, the like.. only I think mine is more advanced in holographic technology. [Virtual could be on par, courtesy of the aforementioned metaverse] Gaming plays a more prominent role.

[forethinking]

(He imagines Kaiba knows about the Metaverse at this point. Not only from his closeness to Ann, but with the memory trading and the trip down to Mementos, it was impossible that he hasn't seen or inquired her about any of their usual activities and knowledge.

Ren listens, nodding to the words and taking a second longer to reply due to the intensity of the game in front of them.)

Holographic technology is not a thing for us at all. (... Gaming? He thought Kaiba was just too interested in his card games, perhaps it's not just him.) How so?
