[ He's not sure to say about the first one. Instead, he pats Elliot's shoulder. You are doing good... Getting cash and everything. ]

I keep forgetting he has a significant other since he never puts his life out there.

[ Says the protagonist that does the same... Akira is pretty curious though. ]

That's nice though. Is it supposed to be romantic?

[yes indeed. Making bank, at great sacrifice]

Me too...I feel like there's a lot we don't know about him, honestly.

[You dang protagonists never sharing info]

Yeah. He already has something picked out that he's played for Tatsuma before. He just wants me to add my own touch to it. Make it more romantic.

Souji is reserved in that way.

[ If only he could be reserved in other ways. More like everything else, but Akira holds his tongue. He can't say that since he's just as bad. He tilts his head, then looks over to Morrigan.

Who squints at him. ]

... I want to say that it would be more romantic if it comes from him, but if he's paying you then I won't complain. He must want the best for Tatsuma if he came to you.

Aha, yeah. Reserved or guarded...

[He remembered how bad a mood he was in october. How bitter he was about people not listening to his problems. Sure, part of that was because he'd turn into a monster. But maybe there was some kernel of truth to it. ]

I told him that, but he said he can only play the trumpet and...well, it's really hard to make a trumpet romantic, you know?

[That gets a small little smile at out of him] T-Thanks, I don't know if I'd say I'm the best for the job, but....I hope I do a good job.

[ Sounds like they need to talk to someone, but that's a topic for later. Akira lets it go and focuses on romantic trumpets instead. Steepling his fingers, he closes his eyes and tries to imagine a chorus of trumpets to Careless Whisper. ]

Anything can be romantic if you love someone enough.

[ TELL HIM HE'S WRONG&madsh;opening his eyes, he turns back to Elliot. ]

You'll do great.

[Akira.....Elliot gives a dry laugh]

Aha, really? I'd love to see you to test that theory on Goro...

[Please go play Careless Whisper to Goro on a recorder]

[ Closing his eyes, you thought you had him with this, didn't you? ]

... I think it works the best on him.

[ He knows his boyfriend, Elliot. He's sorry that you have to learn that this is the kind of person Goro is, though. ]

....Really? Anything?

Yes. If he senses that I tried my best, then it works.

[ SIGHS. ]

Wow...and I thought I was easily pleased.

That's sweet in a way though?

... This is what love is like, right?

[ PLEASE SAY YES. ]

Um...

Y-Yeah! Of course!

[Is that convincing enough??]

I really do think you make Goro happy, though you could probably try not to make him worry so much...

Hey... At least his hair isn't completely white? It's just a milk coffee brown.

[ Hehehe!! ]

But I'm trying my best. It's a little hard with everything that's happening.

Aha, That's a very...low ball "at least".

[He sighs]

I know...especially with how involved Goro is with it. [...] Do you really think it's his brother...?

[ He grows quiet as he finishes this other tub of ice cream, spoon hanging in his mouth as he goes over what he learned and all the theories he had.

There's a part of him that wants to say no and to drop this all, especially when it's family involved. He cares dearly for Goro, likewise he doesn't want anything to happen to his family. ]

I don't want to, but I do. The card should force the killer to bring the item to their own home in case they need to use it, so we'll hear back from Tatsuo when they lead a proper search.

[ ... ]

I can't tell if I would be relieved or hysteric if nothing comes up.

Yeah...

[He can understand Akira's mixed feelings. It's no longer a faceless enemy, but rather someone that's close to someone they care about. That Akira might know himself]

Honestly, I'm a little worried what'll happen if they do find something. How will they keep him in jail when the court system doesn't know about the app?

[ Stroking his chin. ]

... Put him in our dungeon?

[ Akira has considered it... Wouldn't that be good? If there's a place for them to lock criminals that only they can judge.

It's also partially a joke. ]

[...........]

The basement is not a dungeon, Akira.

It can be.

[ Elliot. Please consider that it is, especially with what he'll be doing to Eren later. ]

No.

Why do you even want a dungeon??
