[they might be weenie hut jr. criminals but they're still criminals!1 gosh]
[also, good on Phoenix for asking; Akira has just. . . been assuming this entire time. he lets out a small huff, almost a bit sheepish that he didn't think to ask the sisters himself and instead had operated under the assumption that it was possible this entire time. whatever!! it's fine!! he was right!!]
[but even so]
I don't want to gloat.
[his expression is light, a small quirk to his lips, a slightly lopsided smile that is not unlike the ones he wears as Joker]
And you beat me to Master Blue, anyway. If anything. . . this makes us perfectly even.
[Sometimes.......... you tell a grown ass adult that you're ready to go poof at the end, and this happens. :/ Now Akira gets to be happy while Akechi stares into the void over the fact he has a whole ass future to look forward to. Gross.]
So you don't want to make use of the only opportunity you will ever get? That's fine by me.
[Gloating rights revoked. Akechi's expression is still annoyed as heck, but... it softens just a teeny bit.]
... Speaking of Master Blue, I was advised to "retrace my steps" to find the mansion's core. Its location will, supposedly, become clear once we pool all our information together. [Everything comes down to teamwork, alas.] ... The house will retaliate, of course. But that should go without saying.
[He will take this with GRACE, even as he crosses his arms and leans back... If only because he has his priorities in order and now isn't the time for petty squabbles.]
Bold words from someone who lost a limb. [Akira, your leggy.] Our lives won't be the only ones on the line, either. Or do you truly believe Master Blue and the sisters will escape punishment for all the help they have provided us so far?
[Akira doesn't lean back, but only because he wants to make sure Akechi can see the confident and almost shit-eating grin that has curled up the corners of his lips. SOMETIMES. . . EVEN AKIRA CAN BE A LI'L SHIT]

I don't think it's the only opportunity I'll ever get. I'll gloat when I beat you at chess, for instance.
[because he MOVES A PIECE and suddenly]
Check.
[as for the next part of what Akechi says. . .]
The house can fight back as much as it wants to. I'm not afraid of it.

Congratulations. You've improved.

They can't be punished if the house is dead.
Can they?
