[They couldn't be more different and Akechi knows it. The emotional core is the same in text and without intimate knowledge on the truth depth of their respective wraths. Maruki's assumption is wrong, but one he isn't interested in shifting. This is better. Pretend they're similar and allow it bolster this fake relationship.]
I thought the same. When the mask appeared, I remember thinking it was a joke. Subtly isn't the cognitive world's strong suit as I've learned.
The mask is a common requirement, however please remember that I only know of other awakenings in that world. Ones in reality may all follow the description you had - a voice and a vow alone.
It's an important and interesting distinction between the two, though I don't know what to make of it at this time.
I don't know what to make of it either. My hope is that we gain at least a little clarity when we're both able to summon them.
Or you'll just find me even weirder, haha!
Thank you for taking the time to talk me through these things, as always. Even if we don't find answers right away, being able to bounce these concepts around with you helps.
Agreed. I find it refreshing to have someone as intelligent as you to speak with. It opens my mind to new ideas and offers a chance to speak about topics I've had to mull over privately.
You can only get so far alone, after all. Please feel free to rely on me anytime you want a conversation.
I look forward to seeing your persona soon - there's a great disparity in how rebellion manifests and the powers alongside it. We'll find out exactly what you can do. I won't go easy on you.
[Which gives him insight on the greater problem he'll have back in reality. With any luck, Maruki's persona might be weak to curse or physical moves. If-
No. When this persistent idiot stumbles into the Metaverse, it'll be easier to deal with him.]

[ Hm. What a familiar feeling. ]

I can't wait to see what makes you so different. Don't let me down.
