It matters that he stole away Maruki's most important person. It matters that Akechi is going to die for him.
It matters that-
"If they want you, they'll have you."
-Akira is here, even if he'll always be the wrong one.]
...Then I'll be here, if and until that isn't what they need from me.
[Akira tilts his head back to look up at him, trying to assess what he'll do. There's a tension in his hands that he doesn't know how to read. Maybe Eren is holding himself back from something.
Maybe Akira wishes he wouldn't hold back at all.
Akira doesn't know how to give them what they need when he isn't even the person they need. But he has to try. There's no other choice but to try. He doesn't know what to do, so he'll have to figure it out.
Maruki wanted him here. It hurts, but it has to mean something.]
