[Yeah, well... Akira can say whatever he wants, but it won't do anything to change Akechi's opinion of what transpired that day. Akira and his friends are still trash. Akechi is still dead. The two of them are still in this shitty, impossible mansion and Akechi is still glaring at him like he's nothing more than a idiot.
