Or rather, lots of things are wrong, but there are some things with Shido specifically that Akechi has never seen before. He hasn't said much and he's done even less but there's something off. Contempt and hatred tend to rule Akechi's thoughts when he's around Shido, tempered only by the knowledge that patience is essential for achieving his goals. But now curiosity (and maybe a bit of exhaustion) is leading the way instead. Wanting to understand the situation before he acts is part of it, but simply wanting to know is a bigger part.
"I do." He may as well be upfront about having his powers, not that they did him as much good as he would have liked out there. Shido is the last person he wants to find out about that, however. He's also gathered by now that he's definitely not home, and he's not surprised that Shido seems to have figured it out as well. But he's so...
Certain, Akechi suddenly realizes. He sounds certain of his words, but lacking that undercurrent of arrogance and condescension Akechi is so used to hearing. That's... well, not concerning or alarming, but certainly weird as fuck.

"But how do you know that?"
