It's okay, Futaba. She's pretty selfish sometimes.
[akira????
look, he's not going to deny it when it's been something they've covered at length already. he's not afraid to tell it like it is.]
...And she gets embarrassed more easily than she likes to admit.

I think one death by melting in the volcano is enough.
[sorry, mags. that particular way to die just brings back foul memories.]
They were assholes though, to be sure. The things they did... were really worst of all.
[it's... a slow transition into exactly what he was forced to do, really.]

Selfish?? Sometimes?? Hey!
[HOW DARE HE CALL HER SELFI--]
How dare you say I'm selfish only sometimes. I'm selfish all of the time! It's always about me! The Great Magilou is too villainous and self-focused to care about what happens to the peons of this world!
[. . . oh. . .]
[okay Mags]

[she's not about to come out and say it, but she can see the transition for what it is]
Mmm. Perhaps their worst crime was manipulating otherwise good-hearted people into committing atrocities they've never dreamed of.
[that's putting it lightly]

[ what is that racket? it doesn't sound like morgana, but it sounds definitively cat-like. well, not a normal cat. but not human either. more human than cat, anyway. honestly, he should be used to the strange and extraordinary by now, but the fact of the matter is. he's not?
and he's sighing loudly, glancing up from the dish he's drying.
today is certainly strange.
this has to be one of the kid's friends. why else would she just keep showing up? it's unusual. so unusual. he shouldn't ask - he's not a prying dad, thank you! - but curiosity killed the cat. ]
You're scaring off the costumers.
[ said to wherever that loud screeching is coming from. ugh. stop. ]

[a plushed animal-looking creature? only it's moving and. . . talking. . . as Magilou pinches its cheeks and stretches it face in ways a face should not be stretche]
Biiiiiiiien! I didn't ask for thiiiiiiiiis. . .!
Oh, quiet, Bienfu! You're fine.
[and then, in a cheerful voice, to Boss, without looking up from her poor abused mascot character]
Oh, don't worry. This will ooooonly take a second. ☆
[Magilou plz. Akira collar her quickly]

Enough, both of you.
[akira takes a little more of a hardline as he hears the ruckus on his way downstairs. it seems like sojiro's tough love also means he's earned plenty of respect from akira, too.
and that absolutely means that if sojiro is bothered by what magilou and bienfu are up to during cafe hours, he'll speak up.]
What Boss says goes here. [end of story. there aren't many adults in the world that akira has that much respect for, but sojiro has done a lot for him; he's family and as much as he cares for magilou—he doesn't want to strain things with his own guardian in the process.
especially after everything that's happened, both here in tokyo and in murdertown.]

[and yet? akira seems to be pretty amused and endeared by magilou's dramatics. he's used to them by now.]
Is it surprising that I'd like someone with a flair for theatrics? [honestly, she's one of the few people he's met that can keep up with his theatrics.]

[and akira's probably not going to give yusuke's expression much reason to lighten up as this conversation progresses, honestly.]
People who had vowed to never break their morals, to never act lethally—held with their backs to the wall and the worst threats above their heads to ensure they'd be complicit.
[hm.
hmmm.
who does this sound like, exactly?]

Hmph. I'd be a very bad performer if I didn't have said flair for theatrics.
[comedians gotta be dramatic, Futaba!!]

[. . . she's staying quiet now, because this isn't a topic to which she has much to add. Akira was the one manipulated, here-- not her]
[though, weirdly enough? sometimes she wishes it was]

... So you were embroiled in this for at least a month?
[ ... well, time is a baffling thing as is. Maybe it's got something to do with cognition. ]
Then, your lives--

Yeah, but she thinks she's a villain.
[Just. Pointing that out, even as she idly wraps an arm around her legs and rocks in place on the booth chair. Which squeaks under her shoes. Squeak squeak squeak. Sorry, Sojiro.]
No matter how you look at it, that's weird or tryhard.

[WOW, HEY]

[she wants to yell STOP MAKING ME SOUND LIKE A GOOD PERSON!! but. maybe she'll just. give them both a deadeyed stare instead]

Oh, but every life sacrificed was returned, safe and sound.
[which doesn't make it any better, but. you know]
The game started and ended with forty-two people alive. It was a rough journey, but a victory was achieved nevertheless.

[S. . . STOP]
Why can't you accept the fact that I'm just a very, very, very, very bad witch!

Five weeks, to us.
[he explains quietly; he glosses over the fact that everyone was safe and sound in the end, because.. being "safe and sound" didn't mean people were okay.
and maybe most had been okay, but for akira, that had never been the case.]
But it was like no time passed at all here, in our world. Like... a dream.
