Things have been hectic lately, what with Akechi coming back from his supposed 'death.'

It was nice having him back, but too came his real, more abrasive personality that he had revealed during that yacht showdown.

The two of you sat together in LeBlanc, bundled up to survive the coldness of January.

"I don't really know why it ended up this way."

Akechi sighed and sipped his coffee, lost in thought.

"I could've sworn I went down with that bastard's boat, so why.."

Must've meant Shido.
