Ren is far more than a barista, he's more important than you or anyone could ever realize. This isn't a competition about who is more important or needed. [ Blunt and to the point, just as he'd been. She glances off to the side again, folding her arms over her chest. She can't say much more than that, because of the situation. Even if they never bumped into one another at home, there's still that slight chance -- and the last thing any of them needs is for anyone, here or at home, to know just who the Phantom Thieves really are. ]

A win that has nothing to do with card games!
