[And that's the truth of the matter. He can trust Naoya for certain things, but something like this? No, there's no way. Besides, he feels confident that most of the time Naoya's love for him isn't for him, it's for someone who he resembles. Someone who he had the soul of, the brief memories of. Someone he killed, and someone he feels bad for killing, even if he'd never apologize for doing it.
That much is alright with him.
And as for Yuzu... Fragile does seem like a word to describe their now relationship too. He'd hurt her, unknowingly, unwittingly. Made her think that he'd become the worst possible version of himself, even if that's the last thing he thinks that he'd ever want.
But the truth is, she'd left him. She'd left him, when he'd needed her the most. He's not angry about it. Upset, yes, it's a wound that will forever be raw and open, he feels, but he doesn't blame her for it. Could never blame her for it.
But Atsuro... Atsuro didn't leave him. Wouldn't leave him. Followed him as far as he could, and was only stopped when he was physically unable to, and even then, he'd made his complaints heard loud and clear. He'd have followed him down any path he'd taken. He feels that much deep in whatever shredded pieces of his soul that remain.
So again, Akechi isn't necessarily wrong to say what he's saying for the most part. People can be unreliable. For any number of reasons. Some selfish, some out of love. Some out of fear of being hurt.]
Then if that's the word I'll get from you, then that's the word I'll hold you too. Though it's possible that if your goal is to escape this place, then I might end up standing against you at some point unwillingly. So take my apology for that here and now for whatever you think it's worth.
