week two ♡ saturday ♡ bellamy blake, raven reyes, serph

[once everything's chilled out a bit, akira will do the rounds to make sure that serph and bellamy come for a little meeting at he and raven's hut.

and once everyone's all gathered, he'll just keep it simple.]

Everything this week and what happened at the trial got me thinking that we need to be better at watching each other's backs—on Thursdays especially.

[things worked out for them this time—but it could have gotten bad if they didn't have enough alibis to cover them.

in any case, there's less of that nerdy schoolboy pretense here than he usually has, for whatever that's worth.]

week two ♡ saturday ♡ magilou

[there are probably a million and one reasons to hunt down magilou—in part because of the look she gave him during his spat with jinah—

but also in part because of her picking fights with jaffar. and everyone—magilou, please stop that.

but whatever, if he wanders around, he'll probably find her eventually, right? sure. sure, he's got this.]

week two ♡ saturday ♡ nino

[one of the first people he knows he needs to find once things settle down is nino.

after laura's maggot puking ordeal—there's cause to worry. nino's life depends on laura's, and laura's... is more than half gone. of course, the moral quandary of "does killing someone who is already dead and wants to die really count?" especially when it'll save an innocent life—it exists.

but somehow, it gets shoved to the back of his mind a little, that sense of justice he'd always held to. this place doesn't play by rules that he can follow while also keeping his conscience clean.

it just isn't possible, he's learning quickly.

it means he has to make his own judgments—follow his own justice, even if it's not right.

(ha. ha ha. is this how akechi felt? he has to wonder if this is how he ended up the way he did by operating for shido's sake.)

...they're thoughts that come and go quickly, resting on his mind but shoved away when he finally tracks nino down—

her well-being comes first over his own state of mind.]

...Hey.

[chatty, as ever. he sure is.]

week two ♡ sunday ♡ jinah

[he definitely needed time to clear his head—tensions were high all around during the trial. it's no surprised that people were getting snappy at the end of the night, himself included.

but akira has a very thick sense of justice, and a thicker sense for protecting people in the biggest ways he can. so he got heated hearing an adult completely, selfishly vote with their conscience like there was a moral high ground to really stand on in a game of life and death.

he's not the sort of person to let things sit, though.

grudges and bad blood in a game of trust sounds awful, and bellamy somehow talked jinah from the ledge to make the wiser choice. maybe there's ground to talk and try to work things out? it's... frustrating.

really frustrating, since the trust is compromised—akira's faith in any adult is tenuous at best and this definitely shook his in her. but he has to do what he can. so before the execution, he'll still make an effort to find her, and quietly—and calmly, much more so than during the trial:]

Do you have a few minutes?
