[Ronan hesitates. It seems like a trick question, one that doesn't really have a right answer. He doesn't know what Adam is looking for here, but he also knows that he isn't going to lie about it, even to spare the other boy's feelings. That's just not the kind of person he is.
So, would he have known? The creature seemed like Adam, sure- it talked like him, moved like him, but after they'd discovered what was off about it, it had turned dark too quickly. Ronan likes to think that he'd have sensed that darkness, maybe been able to use that to find a thread of truth in the impostor and revealed him for what he was.
But he doesn't know. He can't really know for sure, not when things happened the way they did. And so in the end, he simply shrugs, arms crossed at his stomach.]
I don't know.
[Part of him wishes that he could say yes. He's almost sure that that's what Adam would want to hear, that Ronan would recognize him anywhere, even above one of these things. That's something that Ronan wants to be able to say too, but in truth, he's not sure. The monster had been convincing, that much is obvious.]

I guess it depends on how it would've gone down.
