'Akira'... She can't help but think of the board. Supposedly her 'soulmate'... Ugh.

But she doesn't comment on that, naturally, instead politely nodding, and holding out a hand for a handshake.

"Akira... It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kiri."

She's definitely going to keep the name tucked away in the back of her head though, that's for sure.

As for why there are so many of them here... Seriously? It's not like she needs any bonds. Not with... well, everything.

She already accepted that it's not meant to be a long time ago, and now she frankly doesn't care about bonding with others. All she needs is to fulfill her revenge.

...Perhaps that's why she's so successful as a Magical Girl, the fact that she's at heart, a loner.

"Is that so? I suppose I am rather busy, what with being a detective and needing to attend school... but I wouldn't say I have a difficult time bonding with people."

But if Akira knows Akechi at all, he can probably tell that this one is hiding behind a pleasant facade. The look in her eyes betrays her sweet tone just enough.
