I would have gone after your teammates as well. [Bluntly.] I let them walk free is because I thought they were unaware of my betrayal. But would you be so forgiving if I tried to kill them outside of the Metaverse, too?
[ALSO BLUNT. . . because yeah, if there's anyone Akira wouldn't be forgiving over Akechi hurting, it's his teammates. Futaba and Haru's pain is still fresh in his memory, and regardless of how hard he's trying to reach Akechi through his prickly and angry exterior, he still hasn't forgiven those crimes]
[still won't. not until Futaba and Haru forgive him first]
But you didn't. And you wouldn't now. [HE. . . THINKS] So that's a non-issue.
He stares at him, and scoffs in disbelief. Please be a little less forgiving now, because he has not stopped being baffled since that day in Shido's palace.]

[Akira can have this just this ONCE.]

Yeah. I guess not.
