[Akechi stares at Kurama, eyes wild, searching him after having read his explanation.
Another him? Another Kurusu? He's never heard such garbage in all his life.
And yet there are certain facts he cannot deny. He knows both their names. The way he looked at him, the way he kissed him... unless this guy was truly a sociopath and an expert at manipulating his masks of emotions... that was genuine. The love, the relief, the tenderness...
The despair, the guilt, the disappointment.
... and yet it cannot be true. It cannot. No one can love Goro Akechi, the flaming wreckage that he is. The complete mess, the cursed, who brought nothing but pain, pain, and more pain. He was cold, he pushed others away, and spat in their faces— even if they tried to help him, again and again and again.
There is nothing likable about him, let alone lovable.
So he signs:]
You really think I'll fall for that? To think I would ever let anyone get so close. Ridiculous.
[It has to be a trick. It has to. Maybe this guy's trying to emotionally manipulate him, because he's pathetic and can only assuage his own pain by taking advantage of others
No one can love him.]
What a flimsy sob story. I've heard more convincing tales told by children.
