[As pacifistic as he is, as reluctant as he has been to condemn the Kenoma simply on the basis of their alliance? Ryunosuke has no such compunction regarding the Regent.
The whole experience of being pulled in here is terrifying, of course. That this... Entity has the power to force them into a mindscape like this, with the receiving parties not even needing to remove their shards as one would require to participate in a normal Communion? That must take a great deal of power. And then, to not only pull that off, but to make it impossible for any of them to speak or act as well?
He's scared. Of course he's scared. The thing about Ryunosuke, though, is that in dire situations such as this, his self-righteous anger will almost always outweigh his fear. Indeed, he chafes against the restrictions placed on him, against the Regent's very presence, as any Pleroma would, but he perhaps even makes things even harder on himself than he needs to, seething viciously under this imposed state of inaction.
He bursts out at the first opportunity he's given, calling out the Regent directly:]
You--! You torment these people, treat the citizens of Horos in this... This despicable manner! These people who you claim to have authority over, to be protecting... What entitles you to do ANY of this?! What gives you the right!?
