"Uh," Rise says, looking past the Shadow at the two of them with an expression that can best be described as confusion. "...Akira?"\\

This whole experience has been ''extremely inconvenient''. You're expecting me to fit into your narrative just because I happened to walk into it and answer some questions.

THE DESTINED PARTNERS REACH THE ALTERS OF DECISION, the hated voice announces.\\
THE CHOICE BEFORE YOU, the voice continues, before Rise can ask any of the questions that it looks like she still ''really'' wants to ask (despite Akira's words). IS WHETHER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A LIFE OF RICHES AND LUXURY, OR MERELY CHOOSE TRUE LOVE. WILL YOU CHOOSE CORRECTLY, OR WILL YOU CHOOSE INCORRECTLY?\\

He raises the hand still attached to Akira's, and points to it with the other. "Do you [[NoYay honestly think that this is anyone's idea of a happy ending]]?"\\
"[[NoJustNoReaction It's not mine]]," Akira adds quickly.\\
"So," Akechi says, letting their hands drop again. "In conclusion, this is my life, my decision, and in my opinion you can ''fuck off and leave us alone.''"
