Akutagawa genuinely believed you died during the fight with Ivan Goncharov. He died thinking at least he’d be joining you in the afterlife, but no. He’s an undead vampire being controlled by some old man. Fukuchi ordered him to find Bram. He found Bram, some girl named Aya, and you. He was going to fulfill orders but no, you used your ability to tie him up, sort of like shackles. He’s growling. It seems he can’t talk anymore
