Ah... [Ren seems thoughtful.] Perhaps it was because I arrived separately from Aoba? The Initiative does not have as many weapons now that Exsilium has been destroyed, so I do not know if they have the ability to give out this sort of weapon freely now. It is worth asking them, at least.

[Ren looks up and down the hallway. Unwanted attention? Is it because it's weird that he looks human? But he's used his weapon several times in front of people...] My apologies, I have been a bad host. Please come inside and make yourself comfortable.
