For once in his life, it seems like Akechi is making an effort! Or, well, an effort not to dig this hole any deeper. Redirecting his anger, eyes flickering to the side as he glares a hole into the floor. He's still furious, it still feels like he wants to punch himself, but...
Mumbling, almost:]
... Tch, how could I be so blind?
[Whatever.
Akira's note is still in his hand, though, so he holds it out to him.]
For now, don't show that note to anyone else. It will only create more confusion, as long as the sender's true intentions remain unknown.
[Akira's eyes slip shut as he folds his arms, his head bowing slightly]
It wasn't just you.
[it was Akira too, wasn't it? he was one of those votes for Asch. if he had changed it to Meltryllis like he had planned to, like he had almost done, then. . .]

I've already showed Wright. [takes the note from Akechi and then pockets it] I tried to get the note-writer's attention earlier, but they didn't respond.
He takes his place against the door once again, squinting at the floor.]
You really think someone who goes through the effort of sending an anonymous "message" [distastefully] would reveal themselves so easily? Don't be an idiot.
Who knows? If they intended to prove her innocence, perhaps it's the very shame of being wrong keeping them silent. It does seem like it was sent by an idiot, after all.
No. Everyone I've spoken is at a loss. However... Through a process of elimination, he does seem like the most likely candidate, doesn't he? Wright-san and Carbide-san hardly appear to be the type, and I wouldn't waste my time on a horse.

A guy can dream.
Especially since their information about Meltryllis is wrong.
[if he is, in fact, interpreting that part of the message correctly]

I wouldn't say idiot.
But someone trying to obscure their identity.

[STILL...]
You don't suspect anyone at this point?

No, I don't. I can't think of anyone here who is a fan of--

[FLATLY. That's awful.]
Perhaps we should consider interrogating those who hail from a modern world. Someone is bound to be familiar with the source material.

Did you know Lio and Galo are from a very very very far in the future compared to us America?

[YOU SHOULD STUDY UP AKECHI!! if you want to keep up!!]
And I think you're right. Have you talked to anyone else who suspected that Valentini was the horse killer?

It's true that Ash and Wright don't seem like the type. But I wonder how our mysterious note-giver is so certain?
