He gives him a dirty look, but doesn't say anything in response. Instead, he scoffs and returns to his coffee, drinking whatever is still left inside the thermos.]
[Ah. That is apparently something he hasn't thought about at all, judging by the way Akechi stops. It takes him a moment before he responds, putting the thermos down to stare at it as he does.

The calling card. I want to see what you wrote.
[That is not quite a thing to do, but it's the first thing that comes to mind?]

[Thanks, coin. Guess it's time to chug.]
After all, it will be embarrassing if the house bests you so easily.
no subject
[no hesitation, no doubt, no uncertainty about that]
[and then, out of curiosity. . .]
Is there anything important you want to do while you have the chance?
no subject
[Easily enough, without a moment's hesitation. Akechi...]
no subject
Really? Nothing at all? There's no one you want to spend more time with? Or tell something important?
[just in case they're all separated when things come to an end. . .?]
no subject
Why does that surprise you? Once our job is done, there will be nothing left to say to those we met in this house.
no subject
Mmm. I guess that isn't surprise, Mr. I'm Terrified of All Feelings Including My Own.

[but]
But do you really feel that way about everyone here? Most people, sure-- but everyone?
You know you can be honest with me, right?
[but he also knows Akechi won't, so. lol]
no subject
[Firmly. What is........ honesty? What is acknowledging your own feelings? Sounds fake.]
I am being perfectly honest with you. Whether you believe me or not is none of my concern.
no subject
[an amused huff, and Akira offers a tiny shrug]
True. I guess it really isn't.
[it's clear he doesn't believe Akechi at all]

When we get home. . . is there anything you want to do before you-- ah.
Before you turn yourself in?

The calling card. I want to see what you wrote.
[That is not quite a thing to do, but it's the first thing that comes to mind?]
no subject
We didn't write anything.
We recorded a video and hijacked national television so it'd play all over Japan.
no subject
He's momentarily stunned, eyes widening a fraction in surprise... and then he begins to laugh.]
Damn, I'm a little jealous. That piece of shit's reaction... It must have been a sight to see.
[Never mind that, uh, things would have gone pretty badly for him if Akechi was still alive when Shido got the calling card. Eh.]
no subject
But the confession afterwards?
[a huffed laugh, smile sharp]
It was pretty damn pathetic.
no subject
[The thought almost makes up for the hostage DVD snapping. Almost!]
