[that's such a loaded question that it takes Akira so off guard he reels back physically. but despite his surprise and the well of feelings that inquiry draws to the surface--]
Concentrate and ask again.
[Chuuya just gets another vague magic 8-ball response]
[ugh. . . Chuuya is the first to ask Akira about his relationship with Akechi, so he hasn't exactly. . . figured out how to put it into words yet. he doesn't want to reveal all of Akechi's secrets, but he doesn't want to lie, either]
I know him from back home. He's a famous detective who did a lot of talk shows and was very popular for a while.
[. . .]
We're not friends-- in fact, at one point we were enemies-- but. . . I told him I didn't want to fight with him anymore.
So we've agreed to work together while we're here.
Careful now, or you'll join the mafia too and become a real crime-boy. We might have to get you contacts though, you look too innocent with the glasses.

So if he's a detective that's famous and popular, that must make you the crooked criminal he tries to thwart all the time.
