It's not dissimilar to what Daigo told me. That he felt he had to take it.

...It is fine. A little anger isn't going to upset me, and it's much better you let it out than let it build.

[ he shakes his head, a deep frown on his brow. ]

No, it sounded to me like the opposite. That it was just a choice, a temptation. Maybe it was just the confusion of it, but... [ ugh. ] Yeah.

Have more faith in Akihiko than that. He has good conviction. He wouldn't bend to murder just because he felt a little confused.

[clockpunk]

That's not what I meant. His description was confusing, like he couldn't quite put it into words.

[ but. cold betrayal seeps in. it's hard to have faith in the face of that. ]

Sorry. I want to, really.

[boxcar]

...Yeah. It must be strange, when you don't want to kill for it but you somehow feel like you have to.

[ He grimaces, and there's a dull rising tide of strong dislike and discomfort. ]

I know it's difficult to process it now.

[clockpunk]

[ fuck dude it sure is. he doesn't know how to feel. angry is easiest. ]

You and him were training together, right?

[boxcar]

...

Yes. He came to me in the first week. He boxes. Wanted to know if there was more he could learn. Showed him how to fend off an attacker with a knife, and all.

[ There's a bubble of grief to that. He's fond of Akihiko. ]
