[...

for once, when approaching akechi, belph looks completely serious.]

Detective.

Comments

[. . . . .]

Please look after Rebecca. [Eichi is a given, but Rebecca. . .] I want her to survive, even though she may not wish to.

[axilium]

[he can't say he's surprised by the request. sanji was worried about the same—that akechi's death will break those two.]

She and I aren't exactly close, but I'll see what I can do.

[doublecrows]

Sanji-san should already be aware. But she will need. . .

[mmm]

Validation.

[he knows this, because he's just like her, in so many ways]

A reason to keep living.

[axilium]

... Great. Sanji and I are not good people for that.

[why on earth are you leaving this task to two people who don't want to live either, akechi.]

[doublecrows]

Neither am I.

[BECAUSE REBECCA ALSO LEFT IT TO SOMEONE WHO IS READY TO DIE]

[axilium]

I don't suppose you could give me any hints?

[doublecrows]

[. . .]

Tell her she is needed. That she is important, and cared for. [his gaze grows distant; Belph may feel like he isn't just talking about Rebecca, here] That she has not lost those that she cares for. That they haven't left her, and that she'll be seeing them again, soon.

[axilium]

I'm still a terrible choice for the job... but fine. If she's still alive, I'll do that.
