[Akira actually pauses at that, reconsidering. Akechi thinks he hardly ever says anything? Well, that's true enough, in a literal sense - he prefers listening to talking himself. But is that all Akechi means by that?

Akira knows... he didn't treat Akechi quite like the rest. And that was because Akechi wasn't like the rest; more of an enemy or a rival, than a friend. But if he'd treated him more like a friend, maybe things would have turned out differently?

It's purely a hypothetical question, and not at all an emotional one at the moment, so he doesn't dwell on it.]

I'll do my best.

[ Hah, yet another empty promise, with no real meaning, no real feeling; even as he is right now, Akechi can pick up on the clues.

He also picks up on how Akira says it's hard to feel anything right now, and he briefly wonders if his venture into the woods yielded similar results to Akechi's-- the loss of all emotion, that is. It's hard to tell, with someone who's already so hard to read on a regular basis. ]

If you wish. [ Because, really, whether he tries hard or not, it's all very inconsequential to Akechi right now. It doesn't change anything. ] But in that case, you might want to come back when it's not so hard for you to feel much. With the way you are right now, I can hardly believe it.

[Akira stares back at him for a long moment, trying to think of something to say, something that won't make this all worse.

But in the end, he can't really come up with anything. It's as Akechi says - right now, they're only spinning their wheels.

Finally, he nods, and steps back.]

Alright. We'll talk again, soon.

[And with that, he'll take his leave.]
