[he feels his anger rising. . . just slightly]
People's lives aren't a game. . .!
no subject
[ And he says it quietly, but there's a hint of anger in that even tone. ]
We made sure he took full responsibility for the lives he toyed with-- and the ones we couldn't save.
no subject
. . . good.
[he's glad]
[if the Phantom Thieves couldn't be there to bring a criminal like that to justice, he's glad Souji and his team were]
no subject
[ until some little shit in a fighting game decides to be even more of a little shit, but it turns out fine so it's fine!! ]
no subject
[either way, Akira nods]
I'm not anymore upset than anyone might be hearing that story.
I'm just glad that he was brought to justice.

It sounds kind of similar to how my team formed.
[but with a lot less murder]
[also, he notices the way Souji glances to the side, but. he won't ask. not yet]
no subject
no subject
. . . yeah.
[he shakes his head]
I can't go into detail, but-- helping people who were taken advantage of by the powerful was what me and my team did.

no subject
Yeah. I'm not really worried about us.
[kicked at the ground idly with his toes]
I'm more worried about why we're here in the first place.
no subject
... So try not to worry just yet. We'll all handle it together.
no subject
You're pretty optimistic, aren't you?
no subject
[ He denies nothing. ]

[it's endearing]

[hm. they've been walking for a while now, and Akira slows to a stop, before he extends a hand towards Souji]
All right.
Let's do this.
no subject
[ And he'll grasp Akira's hand for a firm clasp because none of this is gay yet. ]

It'll be a pleasure working with you then, Souji.
no subject
Well. It's an interesting choice on his end, too. ]
Same here, Akira. Let's keep going.
no subject
Right.
Got anything else for me while we're here?
no subject
no subject
[then that's everything Akira has right now, too]
I'll catch you later, when we're ready to go Palace diving.
