[This is what Maruki gets for trying to help someone - many someones - who clearly can't be trusted in their own right.
Hilarious, almost, that these people would look at an opportunity for assistance for someone they care about and try to exploit the situation. Disregard privacy. That sort of feigned care is more sickening than anything. It's unfortunate for whoever Freminet is that they're among people who don't trust them or their choices. His own belief in this counseling shit null - he has no skin in the game regardless.
It's not his detective skills that will be used here - the cabal did multiple sweeps for privacy, using Akechi or otherwise. He's witnessed enough potential tampering to know what to look for. It's easy. ]
You certainly stumbled into quite an issue and during your first few weeks no less. Why am I not surprised?
It's fortunate for you that I had some training in this area and need to keep my skills sharp. When you're suspicious, call me, and I'll do my best to assist.
Granted, I only know to look for items I'm familiar with. If there's a bug from another world or coated in some magical ability, well-
Simply exercise caution whether I've looked through the room or not - that's all.
[ It is what he gets. He know's that. This is trouble he invited directly to his door, quite literally.
These people don't know what's good for them. ]
This hasn't taken me by surprise either. I was already well aware people were suspicious of me. I got used to explaining myself within my first few days here.
What I didn't foresee was people taking matters into their own hands to supersede something as basic as confidentiality for their own motives. A foolish oversight. That's on me.
Thank you, and I will. I appreciate it more than I can say. There's nothing I take more seriously than the privacy of my patients.
[It's clearly an important aspect, if he's willing to rely on Akechi to debug his facility.
And privacy is also important to Akechi, even outside of this context. Having your trust betrayed and life put on display for the amusement of others-
It rubs him the wrong way, in a manner that will ensure he will keep that place bug free to the best of his abilities. Especially if he will be making his own goddamn appearance in that place weekly to make sure this idiot is rested enough to wield his persona.
What a fucking mess.]
It's an unfortunate situation. There are too many worlds to predict a baseline for any type of behavior. You learned this lesson early and that's valuable in its own right.
If those same people would be willing to expend that energy into solving our situation, none of us would have to be here at all. It's a shame they chose to focus their efforts on an office instead of a looming castle.
[What?? Maruki?? Want him to infiltrate a home??? Go into someone's cognition???? BOY.]
I assume you mean through gaining shards with your discussions, otherwise I can't fathom how counseling lets you get to the castle. Unless Vaeros decided to sign up, that is.
Also, I would suggest tidying up or we may find ourselves overrun with a different kind of bug.
[Is the statue in Maruki's room? No. Does Akechi go into Maruki's room ever? No, outside of the singular time he took a picture of the lantern in case someone called him out about his 'hypothetical'.

And that would be?

Here's a funny coincidence.
Vil reached out to check my credentials due to his concerns for Freminet - understandable.
Today, Webby attempted to find a way to break into my office. We had a conversation in which she revealed she lives with Vil and Freminet.
I'm not about to drop a patient, but I have zero trust in this situation.
Should I need your detective skills to - oh, I don't know, sweep my office for bugs in the future - can I call on you?

The only guy who should focus on that office is the guy utilizing it to get to said castle.
Anyhow, I have a completely unrelated question, and then I'll let you go and head home.

It's in your room now.

Okay.
A text follows a few minutes later, you know, because he's a busy boy.]
For the record, it's back in my room.
And as a note, you are welcome to test its capabilities whenever you need, so long as you give me proper notice.
I'll be back late tonight, but still in time for dinner. As such, I ask you wait for me to return before you go in.

[ He might, one day, to do some laundry out of the kindness of his heart. ]
Thanks, Akechi.
[ He can't roll sushi with one hand, but Akechi's getting sashimi tonight for sure. ]

But you're welcome, Maruki. I'll see you soon.
[There ain't no bugs in there lol enjoy finding that gun someday.]
