[That is new information to him. Vital. It changes the game, makes a warped palace theory seem more plausible. Kill the cognition, death is permanent - but what's the distinction or what kills a cognition in full?
He needs Loki back.]
You truly did get some remarkable information. Thank you for sharing it with me - that's useful.

Apologies, my phone sometimes acts up.
It may surprise you, but I am familiar with it on a basic level. Though I can't claim any kind of in-depth knowledge on the topic.
I'm sure you've heard that my work dealt with mental shutdowns and psychotic breaks. Cognitive Psience naturally appeared in my own investigation and I found myself fascinated with it.

[ The gap in communication doesn't bother Maruki or even register as odd. He's used to Akira, pulled in so many different directions and apologizing for leaving him hanging. No worries and no expectations for immediacy.
Good thing this conversation didn't happen in person, huh! ]
Oh, that's right! You would be familiar with it then. It's an engrossing topic, isn't it? If you ever want to learn more, I'm happy to share my knowledge. It really was my passion before counseling.
Ah, but I also don't want to bore you! Nobody likes to listen to a middle aged guy ramble on.
[It's bait. It's a trap. It's both and he can't tell who's dangling the hook.]
I would love nothing more than to hear what you have to say. It won't bore me in the slightest.
Please, let's find a time to meet up soon to discuss this. I'll be taking notes and would like for the time to be uninterrupted. I'll work around your schedule, of course.
fucking crying please let's have this be their first Roommate Coffee Date

What did you study?

Ah, I was a cognitive psience researcher. Kind of an esoteric field, so I won't be offended if you aren't familiar.
cw: murder, suicide, oh brother oh baby
