Is that so? I find it intriguing you would say that.
[A hint of amusement behind it. The comment an unintentional segue into a different topic entirely - one that's been on Akechi's mind for some time.
Maruki isn't the only one with questions.
A man who can only trust what he experiences. Only love what's known to have flaws. There's no solace in perfection.
Akechi can't agree - most people choose to paint up an image they want. Can't handle anything different from their perception. Can't handle a life outside of their control.
That reminds me of something you told me once - it's almost a contradiction to what you're stating now, but I suppose all humans are flawed that way. Even those that have the power of gods.
[A smile, a hand gesturing upwards, as if inviting him to rebuke it.]
'I wonder if my ability would work on you too. I wonder who you'd become.'

Maruki thrives regardless - Akechi pushes, Maruki stays. Akechi attacks, Maruki defends. Akechi destroys, Maruki rebuilds. It's pathetic.
Fascinating.
Bizarre and foreign and-]
