I assume you would take advantage of killing someone in their own heart, unprompted and without mercy.
[Eren would. Akechi has zero doubts about it, and the man doesn't lie about his intentions.
But he leans back against the stone wall, feigns thought. Finds meaning. Tries to decide what would it take to get him to kill someone in their own soul.
A single order, it turns out. A single chance at revenge.]
I think people can be pushed to do the unthinkable with enough motivation.
[A beat - he turns to back at Eren, and-]
Who's to say what a tipping point is. It would be ignorant to think I'm above it, but I would hope it would be in the most dire straits, with no other option afforded to me and that only the scum of society would suffer for it. To take a life is a point you can't return from. I'm sure you know that well.
