[ Ren nods once, at the slight praise from Akechi. He was keeping up, as much as he could hope to at this point. Akechi himself seems like the biggest mystery of this whole thing. The sharp smile is new, but Ren's getting used to Akechi with his mask off.
Some part of him might even prefer it, getting to see Akechi's own rebellious streak. ]
I can't talk about shameful. [ Ren says after a long moment. ] I was killed by a Cerberus. [ He adds with a self-depreciating smile. He knows it was tougher than a regular enemy, sure, but it's still sort of a blow to his ego that he actually managed to die from it. He pictured himself waking up on the 30th, maybe playing it safe and smart and taking the night off instead of trying to finish their infiltration of Kaneshiro's bank.
...Who was he kidding? He'd never play it safe or smart, and he has learned a grand total of nothing at all, even from his own death.
That batch of thoughts sounded suspiciously like his mother's voice. ]
