He just watched her- Cool and level, with that same lazy, unbearable patience a cat reserves for a bird too stupid to realize it's being hunted.
He plucked another piece of sushi off the plate, popped it into his mouth, and chewed on it. Teeth clacking.
Her accusations hung in the air. "Obsessed." Horrifying.
He finished chewing, wiped his fingers delicately on a pink napkin that Akane had told him to pin to the holster of his gun still strapped over his shoulder like he had all the time in the world, and muttered under his breath with a scoff:
"Didn’t know dolls could eat, honestly."
Sharp, sardonic. But his next words—those dropped a little heavier.
Zenkichi shifted the plate to his other hand, rolling his shoulder slightly to stretch it out.
"Obsessed?" he repeated, finally looking down at her properly. “Hate to burst your delusion bubble, lady, but I'm not that generous.”
He gave a small, sharp tilt of his head, almost a shrug.
"I'm just watching. Figured I'd see what you do, now that you’re not hiding behind a god complex and a lab coat."
