[Loki sometimes spends his days tailing Akechi's pursuits, and sometimes there are days like today when it becomes an unwatchable slog of tedium, where he'd rather busy himself flitting around Tokyo or the Metaverse. He never goes far, however, and he always returns at the end of the day; ultimately, he answers to Akechi, when it's to Akechi he promised to lend his power.

Outside of the Metaverse, Loki tends to forego the elaborate horned helmet, armour and cape of his Persona form, preferring to dress in sharp suits and designer clothes he can conjure effortlessly with those trickster powers. He's watching the news on some latest political scandal when Akechi arrives.]

I'd say "welcome back", but you don't look particularly thrilled to be here. [He looks up, tone dry.] Bad day?
