[ ken watches him silently as he does so. very quietly noting the behavior. ]
You're pretty tough for not wanting to break your DVD right afterwards. [ he says as-a-matter-of-factly. admittedly, akechi's emotions have always been so controlled and it's kind of amazing in a way. ] Most people have. I almost did.
[ and his roommate nearly when psychotic on everyone, but you know. ]
... You think I'm tough? [He looks a little embarrassed. Not enough to fully wipe the "sadness" off his face, though.] I've been exposed to a number of gruesome situations due to my job, so I suppose you could say that.
I bet it's worse for you, too. I remember how angry I was when no one bothered to listen to me about who was responsible for my mother's murder. ...calling me a liar and pushing my aside just because I'm just a kid.
[ definitely traces of resentment here but nothing more than that. he's over than (for the most part) and has come to terms with everything that went down. adults are still awful, though. ]
I can't imagine what it's like working for people like that. [ ... ] It's why I think you must be tough.
Amada-kun... [DEAD MOTHERS... Even though he has been faking his sadness until now, the sympathy on his face is entirely genuine.] I'm truly sorry for what happened to your mother. I can't imagine how I would have reacted if my own mother's death received a similar treatment.
[Adults suck, though. It's true. Fuck them all.]
I still don't know if I would call myself tough... But I'm honored you think so.
[ sadly looks at this thread compared to the latest one. #akiracrimes. ]
Thank you, Akechi-san, and you're welcome. [ the expression has ken trying to make it as though there would be no reason for him to be so upset. ] Well, I hope that doesn't happen to anyone else, so no one else has to go through that kind of experience.
...even though I know that cover-ups aren't as uncommon as someone might think.
Yes, I hope so as well. Unfortunately, I'm only a rookie detective, so it's not as if I can leave a lasting impact in the force... But one day, I will ascend to a position where I can significantly change the way things are run. Such corruption cannot be allowed to stay.

Is it part of being a detective?

It's certainly not something anyone can do, and it seems like you're better at it than most adults.
[ not that he's dunking on adults based on previous history or anything. except, well, he's dunking on adults because of personal experiences. ]
Or, well, that's what I would think. I find that most adults don't really know what they're doing in the first place when it comes to certain things.

[But he must.
He seems a little surprised to hear him dunk on adults so freely, before there's a hint of amusement in his voice and expression.]
... Well, it's not as if I disagree. I've had to deal with that troublesome kind of adult throughout my career. It's quite frustrating.
