[It takes a lot for Ren to stop being friends with someone. They would have to do a really horrible thing and even then in Akechi's case, he still considered him a friend despite them being enemies.

He listened. Although it still made him sad, he at least understood.]

I see... It sounds like humanity wasn't brainwashed into wanting death like how Yaldabaoth made people want to be controlled. I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm glad you prevented that from happening. I wouldn't have been able to grow up if the world ended back then. And if I had been in your shoes, I'd make the same choice.

[He then toys with a lock of his hair.]

Since you told me your secret, I should tell mine too for fairness. And well, keeping secrets that serious is not a good foundation for a relationship. Especially a romantic one.

[He then takes a deep breath to brace himself before continuing.]

Truth is... I haven't been fully honest about back home. There's something I've been keeping from you.

[Hopefully Minato will be willing to listen.]
