week five ♡ saturday ♡ vriska serket
[honestly, he's not sure if he's guilty or relieved; the last five weeks, he's been bottling his feelings, knowing he was doing nothing but betraying people.
going against his own core beliefs.
it leaves him collecting his thoughts once he exits the longhouse. the game is almost over, but he still has to die before he can wake up, huh?
funny.
he doesn't seem to care much about the weather, just... sitting there, rubbing the swelled spot on his face where bellamy punched him. it's fine, he's fine.]

[yeah. guess who isn't putting magilou down until he can dump her (gently) into the hot springs directly?
obviously it's akira.]
Se-seriously. Sc-screw d-d-dolphins.
[he needs warmth immediately. he can't even process all the dead people yet because he's too damn cold.]

week five ♡ wednesday ♡ lief
[snow is falling(? sure, moron island, sure), and it's cold. and akira's still without his blazer since magilou definitely needed it more than he did.
so it means he's sitting by the bonfire, knees curled up to his chest. his chin rests on his knees, one hand idly running over the deep scratches marked on his face from the illusion room last week, the other idly tapping against his shin.
it's probably hard to tell whether he's brooding or just deeply contemplating, but he's definitely looking pretty exhausted. but hey, at least the company is welcome, right?]

week five ♡ wednesday ♡ magilou
[he made himself scarce on tuesday.
sometimes, a person needs time to decompress, and save for having checked on fie once the news was going around that mera was missing...
he stayed in his hut.
even as the sun set, he didn't leave. and the night was restless, with little sleep to be had and a lot of stress on his shoulders—a protag will be a protag. a leader will be a leader. akira is absolutely both of those things, and with things coming down to the wire, it's overwhelming to say the least. he's got all too many reasons, and because of that?
he isolates himself a bit. selfishly, and yet also selflessly, because he doesn't like burdening other people with his problems—and maybe a bit because some of the thoughts in his head and things weighing on him are things he doesn't even really know how to talk about.
stupidly, because people don't ever fuss about his problems, akira doesn't really think his presence will be that missed for a day.
whoops.]

week four ♡ saturday ♡ bellamy blake
[that sure was a fucking thing, like this week couldn't get worse.
if neku wasn't already dead, akira might have at least tackled his ass to ground and restrained him for deciding his own justice was right. serph...
serph betrayed them, yes. but akira still believes wholly that the sirens wanted the best for them, and that serph did what was necessary, even if it's shitty and awful and he hates that part too. the fact he didn't deny his reason for killing or his role spoke enough volumes, and though surely, he was bound to die by the end of the week—
not like this.
akira can only imagine what bellamy is feeling; they've both lost a lot this week, and now that includes their partners. he probably needs a little support, right? he's not sure he's the one who should be doing this when he failed to protect raven, but their numbers are dwindling fast—and he'd rather think about someone else's problems rather than his own. so he'll hunt bellamy down and knock on the door to his hut before announcing who it is on the other side.]

[well.
he already had one major reason to talk to bellamy, and now... well, it's probably the best time to get it over with.
akira definitely has a bit of a pale look of dread, like he doesn't want to approach any of this, but he's already steeled himself to do so.]

week four ♡ saturday ♡ magilou
[he waits until just about the very end of the night to find her—he's sure she's got plenty on her plate to take care of.
but boy.
akira's definitely not feeling good about this. after everything, it feels like he made another wrong decision (even if laphicet was clearly a guilty party) and betrayed her. even if he did what's right. even if he followed his heart in voting in the way he felt was right.
though how he feels pales in comparison to what magilou must feel—or what she's trying not to feel. still, he owes her some words..
maybe it's his turn to return all the favors born from his weeks of distress. so he's just going to seek her out, wherever she may be.]

week four ♡ thursday ♡ bellamy blake, lief
[she's definitely nowhere to be found.
and that's a problem, one akira isn't entirely equipped to deal with for just about every reason under the sun that one could think of in this scenario.
but they need to tell bellamy what they know, and akira doesn't want to do it alone. for once, he's really not strong enough to handle this one on his own. he's sure bellamy, of all people, has noticed that raven's been missing all day—but mid-late afternoon, it's all but obvious.
he didn't want to say anything right away, though. just in case.
so with lief at his side, they'll approach bellamy, though akira doesn't really seem very capable of making eye contact right now. he's still visibly shaken, even if not outright panicking.]
...
[silent protagging hard. sorry, lief. you might have to say a thing or two for him to get this started.]

week four ♡ wednesday ♡ fie claussell
[he already knows he can't do much to stop anything when someone's in one of those rooms. all he can do is try to end the illusion like was done for him—
a lure, more or less.
he's figured out how to stop it from his own experience, given how he has a nice looking set of deep clawmarks on his cheek, so akira will stand a few feet back from the door and clap loudly.
nailed it.]

week four ♡ wednesday ♡ magilou
[the problem with akira is that even if he knows whatever is behind that door is bullshit... he's going to open it anyway.
and even though he knows that the sight before him has to be bullshit, it hits him hard in the chest. futaba, bloodied, clawed up and breathing. sojiro, on the edge of death—]
Futaba... Boss...
[it's just an immediate hard edge of panic, even if his brain tells him it's an illusion of sorts. that's his family, being attacked by his other family, and it comes out with no authority, only a panicked disbelief when speaks again.]
Morgana, did you really—
[but this isn't his morgana. this isn't the well-spoken catbus boy that taught him the tricks of the phantom thief trade and has been his bro for all these months. this morgana is feral and has it out to take down any threats. he lunges towards akira, starting with a swipe to the face...
and though akira's reflexes are swift to miss having an eye taken out by those claws, they still cut deeply into his cheek, causes akira to hiss out a sound of pain and jump back.
magilou might not be able to step into the room, but she can call akira's attention enough as a trigger for him to lure akira (and the feral morgana) out, instead.]

week three ♡ sunday ♡ vriska serket
[he wanted to give her time after storming off following battler's execution—
but akira is akira. he can't let things sit for too long, and he's honestly worried about her. so he'll go looking once some time has passed—until he eventually finds her at the oasis.
...
it's hard to know what to say, so he'll just settle next to her, silent for a while before he break it with a quiet:]
Hey.
[yes, akira, that's a good way to start the conversation, sure.]

week three ♡ saturday ♡ raven reyes
[he's had time to calm down a bit, but by the time akira gets back to the hut, he's completely beat.
being scrutinized, having to fully admit his shady-ass conversations with lelouch—and then the entire ending clusterfuck of the trial, complete with people he cares about being sentenced to die and outing those roles... it's a lot. he's not expecting raven to be too conversational (or, well, whatever you call it when it's all written down), but he just kind of sighs and flops listlessly on the bed tonight.
thank god this day is over, even if tomorrow will be a hell of a lot more exhausting.
if nothing else, he at least will look over once she's present in case there's a needed opening for discussion, unless raven decides to just throw something at him to let him know she's got something to say.

[akira is. tired. stressed. distressed.
even if he somehow evaded votes this week thanks to the ensuing madness and shadiness, he knows that people are probably questioning him a bit now. he knows more eyes will be on him, and he's...
worried?
worried that he won't be able to help everyone.
maybe worried too, that he won't be able to help magilou; the tides turning to lucina in that brief moment definitely opened his eyes to a few things he didn't expect. and of course, that means needing to clear his head.
which somehow leads him to the banana trees. he... may as well have a banana while he mulls all this over, right?]

[well. it might as well be thursday at this point, because it's well after everyone else has gone to bed. even the other night owls he'd been talking to retired for the night—
but akira's just not up for sleeping, even if he'll regret it for all of thursday when he needs to watch. maybe a daytime nap will be in order? whatever.
either way, he's seated in front of the bonfire. he's not wearing his glasses, having left them behind in his hut while expecting nobody would be out here.
but it's fine, he's only incredibly frustrated, y'know?]

[it does take him a long while to step foot in the hut. there were a lot of people to scold and a couple more trying to make sure akira didn't lose his chill completely.
which is proving pretty difficult, but he did take out a good chunk of his anger on bellamy, so there's that. not that he intends on saying that, bellamy can share that experience with her later if he so chooses. for now, his sits, gaze hardened.]
Did you forget that "teammates" means you should at least tell me what stupid plan you've hatched before you do it?
[he's not really expecting a verbal response after what seemed to have happened earlier, but. you know. he still has to say it. one of them has to talk, after all.]
I never make decisions my team doesn't agree to. That's always been our rule. Unanimous, or we don't do it.
[not whatever the fuck raven and bellamy and the other morons all went and did.]

and eventually calms, to some extent.
even akira calms to some extent, after some actual, legitimate yelling and a little bit of punching. but sleep? sleep is definitely not happening, because his adrenaline is too high and he's still pretty furious, all thing considered.
he's got enough consideration to not wake other people who clearly need it. so he heads away from his hut at the top end and heads towards what was haru and yato's at the other end so he can pace off some of this energy and try to find some of his chill.
because apparently, he's got none of that right now.]

akira is decidedly not calm.
akira is furious, and when he sees that bellamy is alone, he's going to approach and just. deck him really fucking hard in the face. and despite looking pretty lean, akira is pretty damn strong and seems to know how to throw a vicious right hook.
he'll be able to see it clearer when akira's not wearing his glasses (a safety precaution) that his eyes are lit with an absolute fury that hasn't faded since everyone came back. more than after haru died, more than at her trial, more than at yato's execution—he's pissed in a way he's never let show until now.]
What the fuck were you thinking!? Both of you!?

[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:]
