[Week 6, Saturday: Souji]
[hey Souji, how did you even make it down here??]
[Akechi is curled up in the corner of his cell, legs drawn to his torso, head buried against his knees. he seems to be sleeping? maybe? who knows]
[do you say hi]

. . . I didn't want him to die for my sake. To die for taking actions to protect me from someone else.
[so of course he had bristled. Eichi is one of the few in the castle Akechi believes cares about him without reservation. losing that would've been. . .]
[well, anyway]
I suspect I know why Fane-san was trying to kill me that night, too.
no subject
Anyway, Souji also seems to understand that, just nodding along in agreement. It's been a point of contention for him and several others, too. Basically this castle is full of people who'd die for a handful of others but would adamantly refuse the return of that favor.]
--Why do you think he targeted you, then?
[Genuine curiosity. He actually liked Fane quite a bit, but he doesn't understand why the heckie the guy would be This Determined to murder an Akechi.]
no subject
[simple as that]
He was likely attempting to protect his partner. Varian-san may have been in on the plan as well.
With this knowledge, I'm almost surprised he didn't kill me while we were burning Hansen's body.

Souji looks quietly tired for a second - moreso than usual - before sighing.]
Well, he didn't speak against you either, at first.
[Not until Eichi Eichi'd it up, but he thinks that probably speaks to how Varian felt in at least a small way.]
no subject
Likely because outing me would have outed him as well. He had no reason to stay silent once Eichi took that away from him.
[Akechi has no faith that Varian's silence was for reasons other than self-preservation]
no subject
It's possible.
[Y'all are a bunch of ruthless fools turning on each other so quickly, god. MESSY. MESSY!!]
...Still, for things to turn out like that...
[He sounds so fuckin tired.]
no subject
Murder is a messy business.
[he says that kind of tiredly, like. he's so tired of murdering people]
no subject
But he picks up on the tiredness there, and his expression softens a little.]
It is, yes. ...I would hope that this is the last most here have to face it.
