People are evasive when a topic is uncomfortable, or holds a truth they don't want to discuss. Or both. Which is understandable. It is possible to press the topic with them, but it's tricky to do so without causing conflict.

[ Spoken with the wisdom and tiredness of someone who has had nine hecking months of this, and only managed to pick vague details along the way. Akira, you have his sympathies even if he is still lowkey ticked at you. ]

The ... things from when we were essentially different people haven't necessarily stuck though, have they? [ ... He knows it didn't for him, at least. ] Or some parts did and others didn't, if I'm remembering correctly? I wonder if it's possible certain aspects of those other lives could stick for one half of a family and not the other.

Yeah.... [Elliot bites his lip] It's possible he knows something, but it'd be better to look into other leads first before trying to force him to talk. It is his own brother, after all. It'd be really hard for anyone to come forward...so he needs to figure that out on his own terms.

[It'd be better for Goro, in the long run. As well for Goro and Akira's relationship. If they can get proof without forcing Goro to sell his brother out, all the better]

It's...hard to remember what stuck and what didn't, exactly. Besides, the murders against criminals did start around that time, so even if those memories didn't stick, he did have a motive at the time.

Meanwhile, I know that Togusa is a police officer. It's possible he's become crooked and decided to take the law into his own hands by killing some criminals...but if this power lets you control how a person dies, I think a cop would stick to lower profile deaths, you know? Deaths that wouldn't cause problems for other officers.

There was nothing low profile about Zee's death, you can say that much.

[ Yusuke being low key ticked is better than High Key. He will take this as a small victory. Anywhere, there is some solidarity in Mochi House again. ]

They would investigate those closest to suspects first—family and friends... Unfortunately, Goro will need to answer questions even if it doesn't come from any of us.

[ Despite saying that, Akira doesn't seem all too gung-ho about pressing Goro for any answers... He gets it. It's family. ]

I see your point, Elliot. I don't think it's quite enough to rule out Togusa, but I'll be sending this information off to someone capable.

[ Well. This is all awkward. What else is there to say? ]

Thank you for hearing me out.

[ Nailed it. ]
