I wouldn't dare take it from you. [ Joker says with a scoff. Okay, this was a fun, albeit unexpected, hard left turn from this Confidant, but he also was getting a bit warm, and sharing a spring with a psycho probably was a little more danger than he should be throwing himself into Day One. ] I'm sure that shadow would apologize to you too, if it could. [ He tacks on flippantly. But he reveals a small something: He's sorry he got himself killed before he really got to know Akechi. Got to know him like this. ]

Now, if you'll excuse me- [ Ren says, lifting himself out of the hot spring as if to leave. In an instant, dogs half-surround him, growling and barking. Ren draws back slightly, hesitates, like he's formulating a plan.

And then, he shrinks down, transforming into a curly-haired black rat and plops into the spring. Ren's little paws paddle somewhat ineffectively, but they at least keep his pointy nose and whiskers up above the water. ]
