I knew him as an unrepentant murderer, who killed my friends' parents, tried to kill all of them and then me, and nearly succeeded with Ren. He has caused many people dear to me immeasurable sorrow.
[ Which puts this little fling in perspective. What is he doing? The quickly building headache is nearly audible. ]
I'm not angry with you. [ He sounds angry. But he's just frustrated. Ren would have known what to say, what to do. ] I just want you to understand my concern.
[She thinks about telling him what she's gone through but decides against it. She's killed far more people than Akechi could've even hoped to and enjoyed the thrill of the kill. He doesn't need to know she was planning on wiping out humanity. It's better that way.]
[ She's told him a little. Yusuke knows that she's had a long, difficult life. Maybe if he had done the same, he would see things her way, but he can't. Even as he's become closer with Akechi, he can't fully embrace him if he can't show remorse.
The same probably would go for her, if he knew everything. But her silence on it only leads him to speculate. ]
...do you regret it?
[ Whatever it is. He knows what she is, and how long she's been alive, surely she hasn't been a perfect, pacifist angel that entire time. Even if he would never guess that her plans were at one point apocalyptic. ]
[His heart is genuinely delicate, or so she believes. She doesn't need to have him pity her.]
I'm simply trying to live my own life here Yusuke, without being under the thumb of someone else.
[Tsurugi didn't count...for quite a few reasons.]
As for Goro...while he belongs to me now, whatever feelings the two of you have between one another doesn't concern me. He'll be living a new life here, as we all are.
[ He pities him, more than anything. If he had the choice, Yusuke would have nothing to do with him, but their shared Dominant forced them together. With him gone, Yusuke and Akechi have been watching out for each other because...who else will? They've been set adrift together. He makes the effort to get along because it's what Ren had hoped for, but now it's almost like they're friends.
It's all very confusing. ]
But I barely trust him not to strangle me in my sleep.
It would protect his ego. He feels better when he's a step ahead of everyone else.
...but you're right that it's valuable to have someone from home. We were far from friends, before, but that may be changing. It's just as likely that he's simply tolerating me to get his quota met.

...that he saved you from your shadow. Wasn't he telling the truth?
no subject
[But not entirely. Not that Yusuke needs to know that. She doesn't want him holding a bad impression of her.]
Oh yes, he was. He didn't have to do what he did...I wouldn't have died. Even so, his instinct was to protect me.

[Her answer comes easily, swift and even in its delivery. She isn't one for lying, even if she isn't exactly disclosing everything to him either.]
My revenge was justified for the torture I endured. The whole world wanted me dead, including my very own twin.
[There's a sigh out of her then.]
If I regret anything...it's that I had to live the life I did in the first place to survive.

[ This is turning out to be a long day... ]
I know what it was like for him. He's told me everything. Tragic, but he hurt people who didn't deserve it, and he isn't sorry.

[Poor Akechi...he's really demonized, huh?]
I mean, you had sex with him right? He didn't kill you then.
no subject
[ So is he just complaining to complain? Maybe. But just because they had a good day today doesn't mean they will tomorrow. ]
Sometimes I think he's grown fond of me, and sometimes I think he's just waiting for an excuse to snap.
