[Text him! Or do whatever, I'm not the police, and neither is he, thank God. Just specify if you want the more-fun-but-less-stable pre-11/20 guy or the grumpy third semester/postcanon guy. Pancake only for VRDR guys please, he's not third semester yet]

[Alas that her phone actually has Akechi's contact information in it. They'd probably both be happier otherwise.]

Asking what stopped you was out of pocket, and for that I apologise. Considering one of the reasons I wanted to change my father's heart, I think I know. [And her father at least did see her, once. His never did.]

You don't need to respond, and I don't intend to bother you again.

[Locked up with the conspiracy board in his head as he is, he stares at that message for quite a while, trying out different replies.]

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why in all the world, or worlds, come to that, would you think you owe me an apology?

Don't think you can get ideas. I already have one would-be saviour hanging round my neck.

You should thank me. Change or heart or not, he was as much a curse as I am as Shido is.

Your father was as bad as mine, and he deserved to die as much as I do.

The last thing I need, on this world or any other, is the cast-off pity of a simpering rich girl.

[But in the end, he just lets the Goro Akechi program run, perhaps for close to the last time.]

That's gracious of you, Okumura-san. Thank you.

But then, what stopped you? I'm not the only murderer on the planet. You must have imagined it, just as I did.

Didn't you?
