week 1; sunday ( sousei )

[axilium]

[this has been a great weekend! fantastic! just, you know, people are dying, other people are traumatized, akechi has maybe snapped, etc.

that last part (sort of) is why belph's looking for sousei now.]

Hey.

I do.

Because Takamaki also committed the same crime, and she would not have done so if she was not pushed to do it by an offer she did not think she could refuse. I believe they were approached together.

... Ha.

[he smiles wryly.]

It's weird to think about. I mean, I spoke with Akechi a lot before this. So the personality switch or maybe even the murder part isn't too much of a surprise... but I guess now I have to parse just how much of the whole "helpful detective who wants to solve the mysteries of this place" schtick was real.

I think it was a very helpful facade that he is used to adopting, but that he did not give any sort of care towards any of us--not like that.

It was simply in his best interests to work with us for that point in time.

[axilium]

In the sense of deceiving us or because figuring out this place benefits him as well?

[in a way, this hits a little close to home.]

[disilluded]

It could be either, truly. Perhaps it was both. They did go hand-in-hand, at the time.
