Things just clicked for him a second too late. For a moment he was overjoyed to meet the one person he very well recognizes and is perhaps the closest confidant he could ever make ever since everything. The mistake that he immediately made was that with the clash of different worlds- this meant that there could be a possibility of him being someone else entirely.
"Woah woah, relax! Its just me!"
Maruki's eyes widen as he watches the Akira he once knew rushing away from him like paper curling away from the fire- leaving ash in its wake as the doctor can only stumble forward and pause as the cognition grumbles before Maruki pushes past them entirely, almost too harshly before he looks down at how Kurusu crumples to the ground. "Kurusu-kun...why are you-"
And later, his Ren got into some trouble, but he couldn't follow him to Mementos to keep him safe...
How did he even make that connection in the first place?
...
"Ren," he shakes his head as he gets down on one knee while his brows knit together in worry. "Please listen to me- I am not here to hurt you. I promise I have absolutely no relation to anything from your world-" he slowly reaches out a hand, keeping his pace slow just in case Ren doesn't want any physical contact. No, he can't overwhelm Ren like this. "Do you need anything at all? We can go to a corner of the park if that makes you comfortable-"
Calm down, Ren.
Maruki doesn't even realize as a tentacle slowly wraps around the very arm he offers to Ren- the centre of its spidery appendage glowing as his mind suddenly feels like its been pulled. He shakes his head in tandem as the neon bluish green continues to glow- aimed directly at the poor boy.
