[ The strike makes contact with its intended target. Akechi has never managed to stab him in battle; he does so now, pinpoint precise and devastatingly sharp. It runs a fissure down the center of Maruki's heart, loss and grief compounding with memories of a future he hasn't lived and still doesn't know how to contend with.

He lets silence settle through the machiya after those vicious words. A dozen different comebacks rise to the surface of his mind and sink back down again just as quickly. None are worth the effort. This is a fight they will both lose.

Eventually, he stands.

[ Simple and firm. He stretches out his back, moves down off the raised alcove and toward the stairs. Stops while he's still in line of sight of Akechi at the kotatsu. ]

[ He looks down at Korokke curled near the kotatsu. Gently nudges her with a foot to see if she'll come with him, and receives only a soft paw swat for his efforts. Tired eyes back to Akechi. ]

Dinner in a few hours.

[ And with that, he's off. To do what? What he was doing before he relocated to the alcove. Lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. ]
