[The first to reach out this way? Perhaps. Akechi is uncomfortable about the notion of telepathy, but that's partly because he doesn't want anyone in his head.]
Hello, everyone. I haven't had the chance to speak to any of you less intimately, so I apologize for the intrusion.
[There's a hint of a laugh to his tone, like he can't help it. This is so utterly ridiculous ... and he's also not that sorry. He just doesn't want anyone in his head. It comes with the risk of the situation at hand.]
I have noticed two things already. First? That my powers seem to have ... changed quite a bit since I've come here. I was merely testing if they still worked, and let's just say that the end result is far more dramatic than I might have liked. I was also able to prevent that change from continuing. Sorry, I won't go into details about what that power is, but let's say I didn't have the handle with it to just shut it off.
Secondly, well—I believe this is less a matter of noticing, and more a suggestion: we don't belong here. They believe they can play to our sympathies, but as I've told several of you, it's better if we're cautious about that. Let's find out what we can, and act as if we accept our lives here. We cannot be played like fiddles like you've all let yourselves be used before. That would be incautious.
[That is Akechi's issue with the Displaced in a nutshell. So caught up in what they believe they can do, they're led around by their noses. They're so much like the Phantom Thieves that it sickens him. Perhaps they can think twice ...
Though he doubts that's even possible.]
