I THINK THAT'S A WRAP KING UNLESS YOU GOT MORE

[ Akechi Goro is the most amazing person I know.

For all the disparities between their realities and experiences, there is at least that common thread.

Maruki has to wonder if the Akira in his true reality felt the same. Would they ever have had reason to speak about it? Probably not– no, definitely not, as his back molars ache with the force of the broken shards of memory that invade his own cognition. A pawn held captive and dangled overhead. He feels sick.

He forces it back out. Focuses only on this Akira, here and now, right before him.

And a smile breaks out over his face, warmer than the sun that beats down outside in a sudden heat wave.

Well, I'm thankful I have both of you now.

[ He raps the knuckles of one hand against the tabletop, as if to close a session of court. ]

Perhaps we can trade embarrassing stories about him sometime. For now, I think we deserve a cup of coffee and some time to rest.
