🥞 ー I know I haven't been around much, been a busy month for me. DMs are always open if anyone would like to plot something more in-depth, though!

"I don't care if you don't want to hear it. I'm doing this for myself, too."

...There he was. The foul-tempered Akechi that had been hiding behind a facade of pleasantries for far too long.

"Do me a favor and accept it."

⠀"I'm not letting you anywhere near my phone again."

Akechi simply nodded.

Without the othersーmost importantly their leaderーpresent, he realized that there wasn't much he had to say if he didn't want to engage in pointless smalltalk.

"...I suppose I owe you an apology as well."

"To learn about them, huh..."

Akechi repeated after him, shaking his head with an unbelieving laugh.

"Do you forget who you're talking to? We both know that you're setting them up. ...Successfully so, if I may add."

"I wish I could say the same."

He didn't bother to keep the vitriol out of his voice. The last time he's faced a shadow version of himself, it had almost killed him, after all.

"Are you supposed to be my past self or what's with the get-up?"

🥞 ー I don't mind either, so I usually go with what my writing partners use.

Quotes can make your profile look more active, I guess.

"You'll forgive me for not trusting in that."

Akechi narrowed his eyes, his right hand subconsciously making sure he had his weapon on him.

"What do you want, then?"

⠀⠀
⠀"Did I bump into you? My apologies."

⠀"Are you going to fade away if I ignore you long enough? I'm done humoring doppelgangers."

"It'd be more concerning if it hadn't, no?"

He hadn't planned on stopping to chat with anyone, either, but running into one of the Thieves was... a circumstance he couldn't bring himself to ignore.

"...You look well."

⠀⠀
⠀"Took him long enough..."
