She’s a Wild Card too, just like him, and that resonates for Ren, somewhere deep in his soul. He can already feel a connection forming, a chain linked around his heart snapping in two.
He’s never met anyone else with his same powers. Akechi was similar but different, a Wild Card but unfulfilled, intentionally disadvantaged by the God of Control, held back from developing his potential. But if Ren and Akechi are two sides of the same coin, Kotone feels more like Ren looking in a mirror and finding a reflection of himself as he is, rather than who he could have been under different circumstances.
For all the ways he’s felt seen and understood by the Confidants he bonded with over the past year, Ren can’t help feeling like Kotone already can see and understand him better than any of them ever could.
