However unexpected, the question is not an unfamiliar one. ━ rather, the concept isn't. everyone was always looking for something, always will be looking for something, always seeking to shift the blame; be virtuous; be noble & right & effortfully effortless. it's an easy question; a common question; one he's been asked many times. his answer mostly stays the same through the ages, different enough not to be robotic, he supposes, and little else.

the specifics catch at him, even so, rarely implemented beyond the baseline & almost prying in a way. 'if not god, what else?' 'what do you pin blame upon?' 'what kind of reality do you live in?' ━ detail, a rarity, far and few between. surprising. It's hardly difficult to catch it in his eyes all performance like, as if anticipating a camera.

the Detective offers a small laugh; not in the way of mocking, just in the way of being confronted with something unexpected, hardly bad. what kind of answer would he lend himself to, give voice to, incorporate into the flesh of the mask until they and it were one and the same. ( and what does he most wish to hear? )

" Well, that's quite a question. " the tone is amiable, if slightly dismissive. he offers it the light of day, but deeper thought does not cloud his tone. Akechi smiles. " I try not to let those things cloud my judgement, as harsh as that might sound. Remaining impartial, or at least avoiding jumping to conclusions without evidence is a large part of my line of work. It'd be a little difficult to do that if it was as easy as pinning a ghost for murder, wouldn't it? "

" do you believe in anything greater than yourself? maybe not a god, but ghosts? faeries? who- or, what- do you blame the world's failings on, when no one person can take the blame? "

ITS ALL A BLUR, THE PERSON YOU ARE AND THE PERSON YOU WERE.
