[Again. Again and again and again and again. He takes the blame. He apologizes to him, without a fight. Why? This is the one person he knows who doesn't back down to anyone. Not a perverted, sick yet well-renowned teacher, not a scumbag fraudulent artist, not a don, not the CEO of one of the world's most successful corporations, not the prospective and popular minister elect of Japan. There was not a force in the world that could keep him down.
And yet he concedes to Akechi. He allows him to hurt him, again and again and again. Akechi keeps pushing him away and he just keeps coming back. Akechi keeps fighting him and instead of fighting back, he submits. Akechi keeps attacking him, tearing open old wounds again and again and again, and he just accepts it.
Why?
For a long time he just stares at that message, trying to decipher this. Trying to figure this out. What the hell was Akira doing all this for? Why was he making himself suffer so much at Akechi's hands?
All he had to do
was turn away
from this disaster
and forget him.
All he had to do
was to stop talking to Akechi
to stop interacting with him
and this cycle of pain would end.
It was so simple.
Like clicking the cross on the upper right-hand corner of a browser.
Like swiping a finger to close an application on a phone.

Like turning around and walking off.
That's all he had to do.
For a split second, there's a lapse of judgment.]
