[The refusal is right there on the tip of his tongue, the snap that doesn't come. But then Clint's question gives him just the slightest pause and that tiny second is enough to get him thinking. To Akechi's credit, after biting off Futaba's head, he really didn't intend to come here and fight her roommate.
So he gives himself time to pause and consider, how to word his thoughts without barking them.]
It's different for us, we have a future we need to protect. Whatever she decides to do after isn't any of my business, but I struggle to believe she's truly satisfied leaving Tokyo as we left it. Not to mention that her friendships seem important to her. [He doesn't mean him, naturally, but the other gaggle of thieving teens from Futaba's home.] She wouldn't abandon them to fight alone.
[Clint is right, of course. What a ridiculous hypothetical situation to freak out about, but Akechi can only hold himself together for as long as there's hope of returning.]
Give it a day or two then, when she's less furious with me. But I would appreciate it.
