Not yet. [His Founder ability is barred from him once again, but there's no telling if that's due to this reality, or to his brother's absence from it.]
For posterity [With a subtle, upward, mocking tone.], you don't either, right?
There's a part of Akechi that's more disappointed than he's ever been and one that longs to continue.
He doesn't want someone else to destroy this reality. Wants to rip it apart himself, piece by piece. Unravel the injustice that stole his dream and replaced it with a false wish.]
What a disappointment.
[But that's it. That's all. Eren's back, from war, from death, from an oceans of blood. Everything else is the same. Nothing changed. Akechi stretches his arms out in front of him, glances back at Eren and-]
I'm sure Maruki-san and Aubrey are eager to see you. They're sentimental enough to want a discussion of your time away.
[He isn't. Doesn't. Eren's only value is as a resource to be used.]
But I'll expect you tomorrow, in front of my door, first thing in the morning. I'm sure you could use the exercise after so much time away.

I'll see Aubrey when our time together is through. You know how it works.
We've only just reached the summit. Let's go to our chess game.

[There is a chessboard in the Machiya and it would be far more comfortable to play in the confines of that space. Watch Eren. Relearn and assess.
Then ignore him. He only needs facts. New details. He'll play a part today and during their jogs. Keep him at a distance beyond that.]
We'll play somewhere different, if you don't mind.
DO W/E U WANNA DO, THREAD THE WALK, SKIP, DO SMTH NEW - LEXY POWER
