Minato just listens quietly, though. It makes sense when Akira lays it out so plainly, but... he wonders how difficult it must have been at the time. To have the public turn against them so intensely, to have their target die like that when he knows they're always so careful with them--
(He wishes he would've been aware, and would've been able to help Akira, but...
It's fine. They have their promises, now.)]
... Because he messed up before.
[Wow. This is...well, he'd never say as much out loud and trivialize what Akira went through (and is going through), but...Akira's life always feels like one of those dramatic old phantom thief novels. Trapping the crafty detective in a web of his own lies... it totally does.
