[Week 4, Sunday: Makoto]

[purrtagonist]

[like others, Makoto won't be able to find Akira for a few hours after the execution. that is by purposeful design. but eventually? he'll emerge from whatever hiding spot he had curled up in to deal, mostly composed and back to normal]

[keyword "mostly."]

[Makoto will find Akira at the bookstore, draped over one of the couches with an open book propped over his face. he's holding a bottle of chocolate milk. fancy that!]

[time to bother leader, y/n?]

[the most unfortunate decision Makoto has made this game...]

It explains why you seemed so calm at the beginning. I thought that was just you're natural disposition, but now...

[purrtagonist]

[ISN'T THAT TRUSTING ASSASSIN]

Mmm. Bit of both?

[but it's true he had the benefit of remembering what happened after the grail]

[justfists]

[TECHNICALLY, BEING ANGRY WITH HIM FOR EVERYTHING... MAY HAVE DRAWN OUT HER TRUST OF ASSASSIN AS A HUGE RED FLAG.

we will never know]

Mm... I'd agree. A bit of both feels right.

[purrtagonist]

[YELLS]

. . .

I meant everything I said back then, too.

[ah]

I lied about who I was-- [a Reaper] -- but not about that.

[not about his encouragement, or his feelings. he was careful not to lie about those]

[justfists]

I know you weren't.

I like to think I would've been able to tell if you had been for something that important.

[she doesn't mind revealing that ultimately, no matter what horrors are visited on them here... her thoughts are still that the battle waiting on them back home is the more important one.]
