[ akechi immediately bristles again at someone trying to act like they understand, like they know, him, but.

but. ]

A stage play? That's awfully dramatic.

[ akechi agrees. he also... agrees with wishing he didn't have to. he'd spent all that time acting that way for all kinds of reasons, but then... he has to admit he had... fun, getting to let go and be more himself when the ruse was finally up. ]

Most people are shallow. [ is what he'll allow.

is he... sympathizing?? ]

[vecna]

Really? I think it's fitting. Aren't we all just playing some role expected of us?

>[It feels a little like sympathy. Maybe that's a step in the right direction, when it comes to... smoothing over their last meeting.]

[ HE'S NOT WRONG... and akechi agrees, he's just still feeling like a little shit and unsure if he wants to answer honestly or not. ]

You're not wrong. Everyone has a persona they show to the world.

[ haha... haha... ]

[Despite seeing Akechi's persona already, he has no way to correlate the two to what he's just read, alas.]

And that's not always a good thing. My own family employed that very well.

[But maybe that's a tale for another time.]

Either way, I hope there's not too much bad blood between us for now.

[laevateinns]

No, it's not always a good thing.

[ akechi's father tried to do much the same-- akechi himself did much the same.

ha. ]

I'd be interested to hear about that sometime. [ it's only fair, after all-- but yes, perhaps another time. as for the question... akechi mulls it over. thinks about it. eventually decides, ]

I know it wasn't your fault. I'm not happy about it, but I understand.
