Now. . . do I think his reasons for wanting to help are the right ones? Absolutely not.
[because in the end, Akechi will always be himself: selfish and petty. that's something Akira knows deep down, no matter how much he may trust the detective to do his best to solve the mysteries of the mansion]
But so long as his goals are the same as everyone else's, he'll give his best efforts.
One day an app appeared on my phone. My best friend and I somehow activated it, and it took us to the Metaverse. It was there that I awoke to my Persona.

[ this is more or less what he expected, but he gives akira a little nod ]
That being said, can you explain why you were all having a costume party in a ship and fighting off... cognitions?
no subject
[there's that part of things, too]
[Akira opens his mouth, then closes it again]
If I say "cosplay" you're not going to believe me, are you?
no subject
Explain it for this old man, would you?

My plaque says "professional thief" for a reason, you know? But I don't steal jewels or paintings.
I steal hearts.

I steal the hearts of criminals only, anyway.

It does.
You see, where I come from, there's a world parallel to our own called the Metaverse. It's a world made up entirely of human cognition.
Actions taken in the Metaverse can affect a person's cognition in the real world.

(This sounds like something out of a video game...)

[phoenix that's super meta]
But only if the real person somehow travels into the cognitive world. The two worlds don't generally overlap.
Only certain people can travel to the Metaverse, and they need a certain phone app to do so.
no subject
How'd you get involved in a world like that?
no subject
Mostly I stumbled across it by accident.
One day an app appeared on my phone. My best friend and I somehow activated it, and it took us to the Metaverse. It was there that I awoke to my Persona.

[ it's pronounced "personauuuuuughsjdhjsdhjksdksjdks" ]
Is that your inner thief?
no subject
[a bit amused]
More like. . . my inner self. My soul given physical form, which just so happens to be a thief.
And about one hundred other mythological, literary and historical figures.
no subject
[ gosh. ]
So they do the thieving for you? Your personas?
