I don't have one. Sometimes I enjoy speaking and seeing what other thoughts are for that sake alone. Not every matter requires a solution or answer. You were always someone simple to speak with, so I wanted to do so again.
[Provoking Eren used to be so goddamn easy to the point of annoyance. Akechi could blink, and that boy would bite.
This apathy is a different barrier to contend with.]
Is there anything that would make you want to turn this reality into a mirror image of your own? Without the source of your ire here, I can imagine not, so it's a hypothetical scenario. A small thought exercise. I'm fascinated by the nature of it all - what would make a person shun all the bonds they've formed for such a sordid purpose? What causes someone to snap? Or perhaps you're a one hit wonder, as it were.
As of right now, there's no reason to do anything like I did in my true reality. Aside from that, I don't currently have the means.
[He won't say that the circumstances don't call for it, or that it's impossible. He'll do what's necessary no matter what the circumstances are, and things can turn in this place on a dime.]
There's collateral in every war. I understand that too.
My concern is what it's always been. My people will remain safe. As for what may happen to anyone else when we take control of things, I could care less.
He answers, as always. Akechi listens, and notes it.
What a horrible man Eren turned out to be.]
It does. Thank you for indulging me.
[And with that, he looks to a town he's never hated more, up to the starry sky that's calming more times than it's not, and back to a man that oscillates between both.]
That's all I wanted to discuss with you. You're welcome to take your leave. I'll see you for our jog later.
[Mercifully enough, Eren doesn't take a seat beside Akechi. He stands with his hands shoved into the pocket of his coat, his eyes cast out over the slope of the hill, the town below. He won't speak again until Akechi does. They may talk about idle things. They do on occasion. Or they may remain silent until it's time to trace their way back to the beginning of their route. Sometimes Eren is surprised that Akechi still shows up every morning...]

You're probably used to me getting upset about that sort of thing, aren't you?
Not so much anymore.
You're right. If I decided to wipe this world clean like I did my own, this grave will be a marker of destruction at its best.
What's your point?

[Eren's hands are in his pockets. He scans the same space.]
We'll see each other soon either way. Let's just stay here a while.

[Eren is a free man and-
Akechi goes to sit on that makeshift bench, one leg looping over the other, hands folded neatly on his crossed knees.]
By all means stay and enjoy the view.
[He's so annoyed.]
