Akechi was... my enemy. He had a power a lot like mine, but he used it to work as an assassin for his father-
-his father who never acknowledged him. Who drove his mother to her death. Akechi was planning to help his father gain total power... then kill him right as he got it. I guess it was supposed to be some kind of ironic justice? His father, Shido, was the man that got me arrested and was the most powerful human foe my group went up against. Akechi even infiltrated our group, faked being a Thief like us. He had no idea we had figured him out from day one.
But still... for awhile, it was almost like we were friends. I got to see the person Akechi might have been if his father hadn't ruined his life when he was just a kid. Akechi was fucked up. Maybe even evil. Archer was in the right to put him down.
... but he didn't deserve it either. I- I was so bitter when I got arrested. When my family decided it'd be easier for them to send me away instead of fighting for me. I... could have been Akechi. I coulda used my power to hurt people so easily. Guess that's why... this.
