The City That Intertwines Fate

[June 20 2020, Saturday]
[Train To Tokyo, From Hokkaido]
[11:52 AM]

(The bullet train speeds through. Watanabe watches the passing scenery with his arms crossed. Akechi is asleep on the seat next to the right from Watanabe.)

....

....

(Watanabe wakes up Akechi.)

Watanabe: Hey..

Akechi: Hmm?

(Akechi slowly opens his eyes.)

Watanabe: We're almost there.

Akechi: Mm......

(Akechi's eyes are fully open, he nods.)

.....

[Minutes later pass by, As the train speeds through.]

(Akechi is blankly staring at the seat in front of him with a stern look.)

Watanabe: ?

(Watanabe notices him.)

Watanabe: ....Don't worry, We'll do her justice.

Akechi: ..... Still..... to think he is involved.

Watanabe: Who?

Akechi: .....

Watanabe: You mean the leader of the Phantom Thieves?

Akechi: Yeah.....

Watanabe: I'm assuming you had a history with Amamiya?

Akechi: I knew him during my investigation into the Phantom Thieves.

Watanabe: To think he has betrayed them for Kaneshiro.....

(Akechi briefly expresses discomfort.)

Akechi: I still don't get why. I wanted to think something was off but the fact that..... He got Sumire, Ren..... And what Ishida explained..... It's just-

Watanabe: I understand.....

Akechi: .....

(He remains with an upset look, his mind stuck in recalling Ishida's explanation. He clenches his fist. Watanabe notices.)

Watanabe: Akechi, under no circumstance, you will murder Amamiya.

Akechi: But-

Watanabe: We're upholding the law here. Their deaths are decided by the court, not you or me.

Akechi: Tch-.....

(Akechi adjusts his sitting posture and sighs.)

.....

.....

(He looks at Watanabe.)

Akechi: What made you take up the badge?
