Kira watches him carefully, reading his reactions as he crosses his arms to his chest and watches the Akechi be...remarkably calm about his proposal. "A rain check?" He continues evenly, as if he weren't snickering from the inside at how this Akechi reminded him of the detective at the talk show.
"Are you saying my existence is your little cheat code?" He continues teasingly as he goes for his phone. “It’s fine, I’m not offended. It’s true, after all. Though,” he adds, tilting his head as if in thought, “this cheat code’s more for a... spinoff than part of the main game. The dev notes are there, but you won’t find the specific features.”
He chuckles to himself at the metaphor, his mind wandering briefly to the absurdity of all the timelines he’s been through. Even now, standing here in a dartboard-lit café with a version of Goro Akechi who wasn’t trying to kill him—it almost feels normal.
Pulling his phone from his pocket, he opens the IM app, scrolling to bring up his contact details before pausing. Instead of handing it over, he pulls the phone back slightly, meeting Akechi’s gaze with a sharp, knowing look.
“One condition,” Kira says, his tone light but carrying an unmistakable weight. “I want to know everything about this Metaverse. Personas, how you salvage it with Shido, palaces- all that jazz. I’ve been around long enough to know that knowledge like that is priceless. I’m... scouting other sources, sure, but if there’s even a sliver of viable information in what you know? I want it.”
