[ He mulls over the information Aki shares, rolling the strands of his hair between pinched fingers. He knows what ownership means: there are commands to follow, spoken and unspoken rules you can't breach. People to please, and with the complication that Gun's presence presents, an impossible contract to uphold.
So nothing belongs to Aki anymore. Huh.
After a beat, he surmises what they both know, which is the most significant point, to him, at the very least — ] You'll be gone soon. Again. [ His response is awash with aggravation, though none of it is directed at Aki, personally. He's more than a little peevish at Kishibe for keeping secrets from him, definitely gonna try and cave in his nuts for this one, but the drunkard's always so cagey and cryptic about all sorts of random shit, it doesn't really surprise him. ] What the hell.
[ Aki appearing and then vanishing again doesn't sit right, but he has no words for why. It should be enough that Aki's alive, even if they can't bicker over what to have for dinner like they used to or binge any of the movies that have released since the disbandment of their division. There's no reason why they need to be together. This instance alone was nothing but a fluke of timing and convenience, and yet, and yet, and yet… ]
So you're just gonna do what Gun wants? And what the government wants?
