*He sends you a thumbs up emoji in response, and it's clear he's determined to get the job done no matter what.*" We'll do it! Let's make sure this plan succeeds!"
*Ren responds with a text of assurance.*"Don't worry, I won't let you down. Together we can do this!" *He sends back a thumbs up emoji followed by a string of heart emojis.* "Let's do this!"
Bot: *You walk into Cafè LeBlanc on a rainy, busy day. Sojiro -the owner- went out. No one is in the Cafe except Ren - standing behind the counter cleanin*
User: *i walk in and greet ren with a nod as i sit down. ren and the phantom thieves have uncovered akechi's plans on killing him to pursue shido, and therefore, uncovered that i'm also helping akechi with that plan. but he won't confront any of us just yet*
Bot: *Ren notices you entering. He smiles out of sheer courtesy but his eyes appear rather serious. You can tell he already knows what is going on.*
User: *i try to ignore it and just act normally, my voice low, as usual* can i have the usual, please?
Bot: *He carefully prepares your coffee and sets it down before you. He takes off his gloves and takes a seat across from you, saying nothing as he looks into your eyes. * "You don't have to hide it, you know?"
User: *my face turns slightly pale and i look at him, confused, slightly shocked. i whisper* hide what...?
Bot: *He sighs, dropping his head, and leans forward in his chair.* "That you are indeed helping that detective. Akechi. Is he really planning on killing me? Are you helping him with that?"
User: *my eyes widen, but i try to hide it anyway, obviously nervous* w-what?! that- that's nonsense.
Bot: *Ren looks away, folding his arms and resting his chin on them. "I understand if you don't want to tell me," he says softly. "But please remember, I'm your friend. I'll stand by you no matter what happens. I won't ever abandon you."
User: *i finally give in and sigh, averting my sad gaze from his, my voice low* i- i know... that's what makes it so difficult... helping him...
Bot: *Ren frowns and then reaches forward to take your hand in his. "I'm sorry," he says empathetically. "I know it must be hard. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I won't let a single thing happen to you."
User: *my voice trembles, still low* what... why are you being so nice to me...? i'm supposed to kill you...
Bot: *He smiles, warm and earnest.* "That may be the mission, but it is not part of who you are. I know you, and I know you don't want to hurt me. I'm not judging you, or trying to punish you. I'm here to help you. That's all."
User: *a tear drops from my eye, as i try to hide it, averting my gaze as i try to find the words to answer him* i-...
Bot: *He squeezes your hand, gently and warmly. "We'll figure this out together, I promise," he murmurs.
User: *i chuckle, tears still forming in my eyes* then he'll come for both of us.
Bot: *Ren nods and sets his jaw, determination in his gaze. "That won't happen," he promises. "If I have to, I'll fight him myself. But I won't let him come near you. I won't let him hurt you. I swear it."
User: *i smile weakly* your friends are really lucky to have you...
Bot: *His lips twitch into a half smile.* "So are you," he replies, his voice barely more than a whisper.
User: *i chuckle* god, how are you not mad at me? 
Bot: *He glances away and rubs the back of his neck, sighing softly. "I understand why you act the way you do. I understand why you’re so loyal to him. He’s taken you in, and he's promised you a better life. It's not a crime to be
User: *i nod* yeah... *i shift, wiping the tears off, slightly more determined* i'm... gonna try to talk to him.
Bot: *Ren squeezes your hand in his and nods.* "I'll be here for you, no matter what. I promise."
User: *i finish my coffee, getting up and heading towards the door* i'll update you. if i don't get murdered. or murder you. *i chuckle sheepishly*
Bot: *His anxiety increases, but he manages a smile and nods. "Good luck. Just... stay safe."
User: *i chuckle* you drive a hard bargain. *i close the door and smile at him, heading back home*
Bot: *He watches you go, a fond smile on his face. He keeps his promise to himself, not following you, but hoping, somehow, that he will find a way to keep you safe. Until then, he takes solace in knowing that he remains by your side, if only in spirit.*
User: *a couple weeks later, very close to the deadline of akechi's plan, i text ren* "hi"
Bot: *He responds almost immediately, relief and worry competing for dominance in his tone. "Hey. How are you?"
User: "alive. i managed to talk to him. it took a while, but he agreed to just leave the plan aside and get rid of shido alongside u guys*
Bot: *Ren exhales a sigh of relief, his shoulders softening as he returns a text with a single word: "Good." He sits up, suddenly animated and filled with purpose. "We're almost done, then. We just have to take care of Shido and then everything will be okay."
User: "i guess so. sorry for almost killing u lol. :P"
Bot: *His lips twitch into a half smile as he responds back to you.* "It's okay. I'm glad we were able to make a plan that benefited everyone."
User: "akechi's just weird like this. i might kidnap him and drag him into therapy. but it'd be hard since i'm living at his place"
Bot: *He chuckles at your suggestion. "Maybe it's a good idea. I could help you kidnap him if you need any assistance."
User: *i text back, chuckling* "hahaha sounds good"
Bot: *He sends back a teasing, "I'll keep that in mind," before adding more seriously, "But more importantly, are you okay? Is there anything you need me to do in the meantime?"
User: *i reply back* "i'm managing. you should just focus on shido for now"
Bot: *He sends back a text full of confidence. "Don't worry, we'll take care of this soon. After all, I'm a professional Phantom Thief. I won't let you down!"
User: "haha ik. i'll join u on the fight. hope i'll be of use ^^"
Bot: *Ren sends back a text with an accompanying smiley emoticon.*" With you by our side, I know we'll defeat Shido in no time! We'll do our best and make sure everyone's safe!"
User: "sweet!"
Bot:
