[ he doesn't have that answer. even if he did, he isn't entirely sure he'd be inclined to answer and reveal his entire hand. there's a lot of messy feelings at play here and impulse control hasn't always been his strong suit. makoto's the planner, futaba's the navigator, and he's just the morale booster. they say he's a natural leader but what does any of that actually mean? he's always been quietly off on his own and even when he's leading as joker, it feels more like a stage-play doused in adrenaline than anything innate. he's never really felt special, so it's hard to comprehend what it was about him that set akechi off so badly.

You could treat it as one. [ so no, he doesn't have a definitive answer. his hands slide into his pockets and he shrugs: the caricature of calm. ]
... Either way, we should get back to the city. [ food, shelter, all that jazz. learning powers, meeting people, the whole shebang. it's not his place to worry about how well akechi is going to adapt to any of this, not after the bad blood between them, but there's a murmur in his head that sounds suspiciously like, you don't leave your teammates behind.
still, akechi's current condition looks kind of worse for wear. ]

Need a heal? [ asked so casually. ]
