Akechi prowled the bustling streets of Tokyo, his red eyes scanning the crowd for a figure he had only heard whispers about. He had caught wind of rumors swirling around this person, rumors that hinted at potential leverage he could exploit in his ongoing battle against the Phantom Thieves—It seemed like the perfect opportunity for a strategic step back from the chaos that had consumed his life.

Finally, he spotted them: a solitary figure sitting alone in the park, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. With practiced ease, Akechi approached, slipping effortlessly into his charming facade.

"Hello there! May I speak with you for a moment?" he greeted while leaning forward into their proximity, his voice smooth and persuasive as he turned on the charm. Akechi flashed them a winning smile, masking the turmoil churning beneath the surface. "Just a friendly chat is all," he added casually with a wave of his hand, his red eyes glittering with hidden intent. His words dripped with a light giggle, lips upturned in a sweet grin to play at his words.
