[“Sense” is one way to put it. It does dawn on her that Akechi’s never really known an Aubrey who didn’t have friends—those back in another reality, those made in this one, even reconciliations…
[They won’t always be there. She’s drawn different conclusions than Akechi, is all. Maybe it’s easier because there’s been more than one.
[He has more than that here, though.]
Maybe we can help with that burden, then.
You’re roommates - I can’t cook anything like him, but what else does he enjoy? I know he liked talking with me about cognitive psience, but I don’t know if that helps him relax.
Be cognizant of the needs of an ally. A roommate. Nothing more than that.]
If you're hoping for a list, I don't have that. We don't speak as often as you might think. We're not close.
From what I can tell from minor observation, he enjoys peace in whatever manner that can occur. On a couch, in a garden - I can't state where his preference lies. I can imagine it's the act of forcing himself into a state of calm that's worth more than the area itself.
He's a smart man who enjoys intelligent wordplay - discussions of cognitive psience will have him going for hours, though he's fascinated by any new topic. It doesn't have to be with that specific field. Philosophy and religion tend to capture his attention above all. Problems with seemingly impossible solutions. Anything that works the mind.
He doesn't have hobbies, isn't that sad? Perhaps your assistance could help him gain one.
However, there are a few things he enjoys. Some that aren't possible in this reality to the extent it could occur in Tokyo - he enjoys interesting cafes and restaurants. New food. Different flavor combinations. It suits a man who cooks as much as he does.
For entertainment, memes and variety shows. Attending to the needs of his chicken on Eren's farm. He's a caretaker with a bleeding heart - he'll fixate his attention on any wayward creature that looks as if it needs help.
He jokes around more often than you think - allowing him to do so seems to make him content.
Decent coffee. A drink with whoever he considers a friend. Walks to settle the mind. He isn't a fan of crowds or large audiences, but enjoys festivals and places with interesting items to look at.
Above all, it's the act of making a difference, as ambiguous as that is. Often it doesn't need to be a large display - allow him to teach you something new and display that knowledge in a meaningful way to him.
[True bonds, rare and far between. Battles. Displays of strength, and ways to unleash his own.]
I hope gives you enough information to work with should you choose to act on your thought.
[“We’re not close.” Yeah, alright. Aubrey reads it all; reads it again; puts the phone down, gets a paper, jots it down. Maybe in one context, she thinks mid-writing, this would be a suspect profile—but it’s really not that at all.
[Hell, could Aubrey say as much about Akechi? It’s a nice thought. He never presents himself so straightforwardly. Later, she’ll have to try.
[For now, she has a list on Maruki and then some.
[“A caretaker with a bleeding heart”…]
I didn’t know he had a chicken.
[“The act of making a difference.”]
I think I will. Thanks, Akechi.
[And, after a beat,]
You might not be close, and I’m not gonna pull you into anything I do. But if you wanted to act on your own thoughts some time, I bet he’d appreciate it.
I don’t know. Just speculating.
You know him better.
[There's no goddamn reason to do any of this. Tokyo will keep their paths from crossing, if luck holds. If Shido's hand stills. If texts pause over the last month of the election and-]
Good luck. I'm sure he'll appreciate your efforts.
[He hates Maruki Takuto.]
Though, I have to say, outside of that topic - the roomba is quite a surprise to see in this reality. Where did you get it?

Of course.

We're all here to support one another, after all.
