As she listens to the story she’s slowly leaning forward against the table to rest her chin in her Hands. That doesn’t sound too out of character for her akechi, maybe their future will have this sort of guideline?

But
But also
It sounds like this Ren was close with his Akechi. And she’s reminded of the conspiracy board and how akiren and akechi are fated to be important to each other in some form.
Does that mean Akechi will get someone like that? Someone who will challenge him? Someone who’s spoken of fondly even after everything that happens.
She frowns a moment, thinking, then hums.
“It sounds like you both have a complicated relationship. Not in a bad way but, you know?” Akechi had to betray them, for the plan she’s sure, but if Akechi was also close to Ren.
She thinks of her Akechi
She thinks of Wakaba.
She thinks of how she doesn’t want him to hurt like that again.
She thinks of how her Akechi has her. So she can help.
“I hope if my Akechi does meet a Ren or akira back home they’ll be good friends too.” She mumbles.
