Thinking about Persona 5 again, and every dialogue option I can think of where you take metaphors literally is when you talk to Ryuji. He thinks you’re a dumbass, but he gains approval anyway. Ryuji is clearly aware he’s the idiot of the group, and I think that bothers him a lot more than he lets on, so Joker pretends to not get things as some kind of reassurance or solidarity. Which seems like an unfair position for Joker, but Joker spends most of his story arc in unfair positions anyway.
