Day 17 - WHODUNNIT?

[pandatrash]

[It's that time again! The Great Detective has been killed, so put those little grey cells to work and find the culprit!]

[Most of the flooding has been stopped as well, though it's uncomfortably damp just about everywhere. Looks like the raccoons only half-assed their cleanup.]

[Speaking of half-assed, where's Tycoon? I mean, broken ones, sure, but has anybody seen him up and about? Looks like you guys might be flying blind this time around...]

...Yeah, I see.

[Really, he thinks they're both acting pissy, but -

Well, he'll ignore that for now, because he has something to say.]

Akechi? Thank you. For making sure he was safe last night.

[And that's....pretty fucking genuine.]

[a bit of the hostility drains]

I didn't know what else to do. Even if he hates me...

[pauses, searching for words]

It's... the principle of the thing, I suppose.

[suppressthedark]

I understand.

[Ichigo's smile is fond, but also apologetic just a little as he speaks.]

You didn't want him to get hurt or killed. And Akira....he's definitely got his own mind when it comes to what he wants to do, even if he gets hurt in the process.

[He gives a little chuckle.]

'S probably why we get along so well.

But...While I won't claim I know everything about your relationship, I'm still grateful to you. It would have been really easy for you to just leave him to whatever might've happened last night - and you decided it would be better to make sure he was alright, even if he got angry and hated you from then on because of it.

[He remembers what Akira said about how Akechi sees their friendship - but at the same time, he can't say he doesn't understand where Akechi's coming from, either.]

So...I'm hoping you two can work this out. After all, in this place?

You need as many people on your side as you can get.

[eventually they get tired of fighting and just separate, which isn't ideal, but isn't... the worst case scenario here?]

I don't know. Perhaps this is the point where we simply... agree to disagree.

[his gaze is distant for a moment, and sad, but he quickly snaps back into being defensive]

...And that's fine. I have Saihara-kun and Will-san. That's more than I ever had before.
