I find it hard to believe he's faking such a thankless career. It's not a lucrative field in my world and there's little benefit to listening to the problems of others.
The actions I've seen him undertake to set up his business and get proper paperwork and confidentiality agreements in order-it would likely comfort you more than my words ever could.
Normally I would verify his degrees, look up any potential disciplinary actions on his license or legal battles, s well as reviews on the practice. Possibly some vague snooping in regards to anything public. You wouldn’t want a couples councilor that’s going through their fourth divorce after all.
You make fair points, and yet that’s part of what makes it so hard to believe. What’s his motivation? No one is that openly warm and friendly without some sort of agenda, but the only thing I can think of is that he’s one of those “fixer” types.
You know the "complete disaster of a personal life so they try to fix others for self gratification" kind of person.
Maruki's motivations for care are a mystery to him. The drive to serve others such a foreign concept, he knows it's spurned by whatever selfish intent is hidden below the surface.
He doesn't trust Maruki, or anyone. It's a well worn hesitation, but-
They've been through the gambit. A liar that follows through words with action. Akechi, for the most part, can respect it.]
To speak to that level is impossible for me. I would be doing a disservice to him and you by trying.
It's my suggestion you find out his motivations yourself. Either through taking advantage of the service for the purpose of seeing how he operates or by speaking to him personally.
Even if I were a member of his family, with intimate knowledge of him, my assumption is you're intelligent enough to trust that opinion even less.
[Then-
Moments come to mind as he moves to set down his phone and end the ridiculous conversation on amicable terms with this man. A flicker of licking wounds in a dilapidated convenience store, a note pressed against the back of his pillow, a breakfast made for a quiet birthday.]
For all the people I've dealt with - criminals, liars and otherwise who purport altruism for the sake of inflating their own ego - Maruki-san truly seems genuine in his attempts. That is what I can attest to.
