Hmmm... I've only really been to Mementos and a few TV world dungeons in my time here. I suppose you could say it's comparable, but I know the Velvet Room was aware of me beforehand. Igor-san had sent someone to keep an eye on me, but wouldn't grant me access until I proved myself.

[He was very close to doing so before he was brought here! ...So maybe he did, in a roundabout way?

Either way, he'll hover around this other Akechi, chin in hand.]

At least everything here is free. You can be as lavish as you wish without consequence.
