Far less dramatic than that - arguably on the far opposite end of the scale.
[There's a pause - and then the younger Akechi will find himself thinking, inexplicably, about a nice cup of tea. What about a nice cup of tea? Whatever his mind would naturally suggest for the phrase suddenly appearing in his thoughts without obvious context.
Considering that he's familiar with cognitive phenomena, he's far more likely to pick up on the fact that the thought doesn't originate from him than the average person would. If he didn't, then the way his older self continues will make it obvious.]
Imprinting is usually little more than a sort of mental prompt or trigger - it can help people who are stuck trying to remember something or come up with an idea, but it's not usually enough to control someone's actions or desires.
There's a few people with an extra trick or two - I can prompt someone into saying what's really on their mind without a filter, like a far lesser version of my old Metaverse abilities - but for the most part, psychic interaction between the Underground and the real world is limited to Imprinting.
