[ Yeah the gun takes off a lot of strikes, honestly. It swings you pretty far into "positive" territory!
And then Akane remembers something! ]
Oh! And I've been trying to figure out what happened to Kazuaki-kun this whole time. Just going over it in my head, you know? Minato-kun said I should ask for your thoughts about it.
No, nothing like that. [ Which is true...! But she's only admitting it because she thinks it's what he wants to hear. ] It's just totally frustrating not knowing what happened!
Plus I need to know who's dangerous so I can look out for us, you know?
Ah. It is worrying. People being corrupted, ones you think you can trust. And then there's ones who just want to do it on their own.
Don't worry. The ones who killed the bird aren't looking to come after you. [He taps his chin thoughtfully.] They were trying to frame Four because she could be dangerous.
[ She huffs. But... Playfully? Yeah, it's fine. She already feels pretty indebted here, she can't be asking for too many details. But... There are some details that she feels like she does need... ]
So, this gun. Was it a reward from the war? There were guns around during all that.
It was from the war. [There isn't any point in making up a story for it, not that at least. Not when she is with Minato and the boy would just tell her the truth.] Minato didn't want it.

[ But if he was willing to tell her, he already would have, so there's no point in asking who it was. ]
Dangerous...? You mean like she has one of those secret roles or abilities?
no subject
Perhaps.

Minato-kun's problem is that he thinks of everyone as a friend.
no subject
[So does Gon. And maybe the struggle to love and protect those friends is what is so deicious.]
Is everyone not a friend?

[ she doesn't even need to justify it with naming names. ]

[He puts a hand on top of her head, but doesn't ruffle, or scritch, or pat. Just a hand, and then it drops away and he moves by her to leave.]

no subject
