You— [Cutting himself off real fast here, probably because that was almost a question. Ugh. Changing directions.] —Your observational skills are underwhelming if you've only realized now.
[It's fine. It's fine. It's! Fine!]
I have no idea what could have caused this. [...] You should tell me if it's the same for you.
It is. It started this morning after we left the billiards room and-- [cuts himself off, because he is still a bit upset about what happened to Haruka]
I think it might be similar to everyone losing their senses throughout the week.
Akechi looks more inconvenienced than anything, lips pursed as he listens to him. After a beat, he steps aside so they're not having this conversation out in the hallway.]
... So not only has someone died, but we've been afflicted with an additional ailment without any apparent reason. [That's great! That's awesome! He hates it.] If I didn't know any better, I'd say Master Blue took offense to our comments about their lack of creativity.
[Binch. He taps his chin, thoughtfully.]
I wonder if we're the only ones who woke up to this...
[BINCH, HE WAS INVITING HIM IN ANYWAY!!! Akechi huffs and closes the door after him, turning around so he can lean against it while crossing his arms.]
Which begs the question... [--wait, no. NOT A QUESTION.] Ugh— [UGH!!] ... There has to be a reason why we're experiencing this... situation, as opposed to anyone else. It can't be purely random if we're both affected.
[Akira leans his shoulder against the wall because HIS BACK STILL HURTS A LITTLE BIT and he needs the rest]
Yeah. I don't think it's random.
[. . .]
Ash speculated it was because someone didn't want us talking about something important. But literally nothing happened in the billiards room last night. [except Akira throwing out his back] Why would-- [NO. A QUESTION!! Akira cuts himself off and rephrases] There's literally no reason to keep us quiet.
Unless we witnessed something incriminating without becoming aware of it... but that's rather unlikely, and it's not as if there aren't ways to circumvent our current conditions. There must be something else we've failed to consider.
I'll be annoyed if that's all there is to it. [Master Blue, you bitch.] Someone who can't be bothered to show their face has no right to make to us suffer through this.

[WHY DID YOU LEAD WITH A QUESTION]
Concentrate and ask again.
[a pause and then, with his hands thrown into the air]
-- AUGH WHY THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING!!!
no subject
He pauses.
And stares into the void.]
Ah. So you're afflicted, too.
no subject
[flatly, with annoyance that so rarely finds a way into his tone because he is the most chill and easy-going guy ever]
I never realized just how many questions people ask while you're talking to them.

I was being sarcastic.

Sometimes people just die, Akira.

If Master Blue didn't want criticism, they shouldn't have brought us here.
[:/]
So far, I haven't met anyone else with the same problem. So something tells me it's just us.

I tried calling for one of the sisters. None of them would answer.

He hums, as if considering that.]
I'm not surprised. They stopped for no one when they took the body away.

Everything they did after Haruka-san's death. It felt practiced. Like they've done this before.

To take part in a larger "murder mystery" orchestrated by their master?

POINTEDLY STARES AT HIM.]

Sorry. I forgot.
It was a rhetorical question, anyway.
