[ Maruki's eyes shut and Akechi unintentionally follows suit - leans back against his own chair and stretches his legs out as far as he can.
It's a nice night preluding a nicer day. Once he's sure the world won't rip itself apart and a suitable area for a beginner to climb is found, he'll pluck Maruki from this home and watch him stumble all the way up.
And he will get all the way up. There's not a single doubt in his mind that he won't succeed.
But Akechi doubts he'll do it again.
It's quiet for a second longer and when Akechi crosses his own arms over his chest-
The sight is too much like the man next to him, so he lets them rest on the arms instead. Keeps his eyes open, gaze on the bright, bright stars.
Waits a minute, then two, and- ]
I've often heard people your age start to form bucket lists. [ Quiet. A small dig. ] Have you made one for this place?
