That's a thought I should relay to you instead lest you'd like to be turned away for suspicious loitering. [ Cheekily entertained; redundantly paraphrased segments of the year 20XX will never rid him of that much. There's a trifle edge of fatigue, still; that knowing burden of an unspoken duty to make something out of this proffered conundrum is stretched thin across his nerves, chafing and scolding. ]

If you insist on being helpful though, hanging out with me will suffice. [ Cheeky and bossy. Roles shall never matter, apparently. Regardless of how much more fame and adoration Akira procured in less time than Akechi ever has, how the boy's still loved from all sides, by his lifelong comrades no less, even in this lifetime, this irreverent soul will greet him all the same.

The news segment intones loud enough to amuse the meager trickling of patrons seated at the available booths, leaving everybody else with the bar. Leblanc's same ol' bell announces a supposed visitor, and Sojiro takes his time to drag his attention away from wiping at the counter top, finally directing it all at the now cramped entryway once he does so. Compared to Akechi's introduction from the original timeline, there's an odd sense of familiarity in Sojiro's lilt, like Akira and #bossman met once before, beyond the boundary of their temporal prison: "Took you long enough to decide to come in."

And, well, Sojiro just scowls at Goro, inquires about his lack of spectacles: "Don't you need them? Just as long as you don't break anything while you're here."]


I wonder why that is. [ Spoken undertone, for Akira's ears only. ] Have I always required visual aid? What do you say, detective?

[ How to not talk to people because you'll sound like you've just lost your mind otherwise: a guidebook not at all written by one (1) Goro Akechi. But he'll certainly pen a tutorial in how to gradually cause a cycle to internally collapse in itself with verbal cues to hinder its awful stability. ]
