Hmm. That makes a bit more sense, then. Fighting over resources is one thing, but fighting over resources that you have to fight to acquire in the first place... well, if Akechi could work with the Phantom Thieves, he's sure whoever else has ended up here could set aside their differences long enough for that.

Akechi slips his coat off and sets it aside, as well, then finally gives up on standing and slides down the floor. He may as well have a seat if they're going to be here a while.

"And you? I'm sure you've found yourself plenty of allies." Akechi's just wondering if Shido is willing to share that sort of information.
