[ A job like that might actually kill him, but– Akechi isn't wrong. Or at least, Maruki wants to believe that he isn't wrong.
Akechi calls him abnormal, useless, pathetic – but the compliment is in there, buried beneath all the weeds. So much of life with Akechi is like that. An untended garden that somehow still grows. ]
You know that I strive to be pathetic in everything that I do.
I might consider it. Does it pay better?
I'm joking, of course. I know that it doesn't.
The world that we're working toward won't have a need for such careers, but...
Well, it's good to know that there are options. Maybe. Thanks, Akechi.

I don't care what happens - if you succeed or fail, it's of no concern to me.
I'll see you at the konbini.

It should be some concern to you if I fail. You'll have to consider getting a job. What a cruel, torturous reality...
See you there.
