[Guess who has been doing barely anything the past month, in part due to the fact that the people he knew are gone. Normally someone like Akechi would not care at all, but, well, he has to talk about it to some for of audience. Then he can go back to trying to win the hearts of the people (sic)]

For whoever who knew him, Akira Kurusu is gone. In fact...it might have been a while. I couldn't tell you exactly.

[He does, but he won't say that publicly.]

Is it wrong to consider it somewhat amusing irony if you were the only one left behind, so to speak, when your death a possibility in your own world?

One would think that of all the luck, he would have been the one forced to stay here. He was the big hero back home, after all.

I suppose I might need a new place to stay, or at least a companion as to not bore myself with.

[Wow. With an intro like that who wouldn't want him??]

[ It is dumb, but a protag's gotta protag, sometimes. ]

Welllllllllllll
Something something something
Dramatic self-sacrifices
Stuff like that?

[policedefective]

Ahhh

Akira is like that, so I know all about those types.

[Why are protagonists like this.]

[fujimaru]

[ To make things difficult for the people who love them or love to hate them, or hate to love them, or of course. ]

You'd think so, but some of them are real sleeper agents!
I've already decided that if I'm ever going to be a hero, I'll be a hero who lives
And I'll drag as many people with me as I can!!

[ There's a pause as she rereads what she's typed, and hm. Maybe it's better to pull back a little. ]

Or something like that lol ╰(￣ω￣ｏ)
Not that I'd know or anything!

[ Nailed it. ]

[policedefective]

[Oh gross. By gross, one actually means Goro Akechi may be a little jealous that this person has so much energy about it? It was his dream as a kid, after all.]

On the contrary, you should like you do know a lot about this.

[fujimaru]

Noooooooooooo
Nooooooo not at all hahaha where would you get that idea

[ Really, the only saving grace Ritsuka has is that this isn't a video or otherwise face-to-face conversation. At least in text, she can get away with a couple (maybe only one) volley before she gets really called out as a liar. ]

[policedefective]

I've been close to the hero type. Your writing has that stink all over it. Denying it just delays the inevitible.

[Dang he just laying it on thick, isn't he. NOT! JEALOUS! (yes he is)]

[fujimaru]

Nononononono ⊙﹏⊙
I really don't have any idea what you're talking about, mister detective sir, I really really don't

[ There are two kinds of people: the ones who want to be the protagonist, and the ones who don't. ]

[policedefective]

Denying it makes it rather pathetic, if I'm being honest.

[Which he is. Welcome to the full Goro Akechi.]

Why are you pretending at all?

[fujimaru]

[ Ouch, but fair. At least Ritsuka's pride isn't something she's really protective of; she makes a face at the phone, but lets it go after that. ]

I'm a big fan of fake it till you make it
It's worked for me pretty well so far

[ If Kadoc sees this, which she has to assume he will, because he's a paranoid bastard who has admitted to being better at keeping up with the network than she is, he's definitely going to at least fantasize about strangling her about this. Eh. Still true. ]
