"Yeah. My Akechi is different, but... we were similar. Can't explain it."

It's really hard to put into words, and not just because she's not much of a talker. Their connection is a particular one, one that can never be replicated. A shared link between them, almost seeing herself standing in Akechi's place... and her desire to pull him out.

Meeting an Akechi that's like her in an entirely different way is just so surreal, bordering on almost comedic at this point. A strange mirror image, a 'what if'.

Her use of the word 'were' may stand out a bit, combined with a slight shift in her expression as she looks off to the side.

"...You and your Ren. You guys are probably the same?"

Different and yet so similar...
