I don't think they'll go for sense-loss twice in a row. But you're right, they're up to something.

[They'll find out on Monday, right? Maybe they'll get another part of that story then.]

When you join the mafia, the person who got you in is supposed to give you something of theirs. It's like...symbolic, or something? And that person is supposed to look after you when you're new and make sure you don't mess up.

This is what I got. Not sure if I should wear it or not. The guy's dead, so it's not like I can just ask him what to do.

[maybe. . . he just hopes that whatever is waiting for htem on Monday isn't as bad as their lost senses]

Ah. . . I'm sorry for your loss.

[he doesn't know if Chuuya was close to Rimbaud or not, but still. better safe than sorry]

I guess it's a little awkward to wear a dead guy's hat, though. Unless you two were close?

[glances at Chuuya as he waits a response to that question]

[shortforever]

Nah, not really. He was a huge asshole and I'm the one who killed him anyway. So no real loss there.

[Yeah, his life is a bit fucked at the moment.]

1/2

[RIGHT. . . MAFIA. . . Akira clears his throat and looks away. he likes Chuuya, and knowing that he's gotten his hands dirty via the mafia doesn't change that fact. it's just. . . for a moment, he sort of forgot that it was a part of being mafia]

[(and yakuza, in Iwai's case. how naive, Akira)]

Well. . . in that case, I've got nothing.

But it's a cool hat. [oh] It'd probably look pretty good on you.

[Hilariously he wasn't even mafia yet when he did that. But he's not explaining that, especially not with that sudden change in conversation.

But he's going to say one thing before he lets the conversation go:]

I didn't kill him for no reason, just like I didn't join the mafia for no reason. I don't really like the idea of smuggling stuff or killing people or whatever, I don't go out of my way to do that stuff. But the world's not fair, and if you don't protect yourself then you'll end up getting taken advantage of.

[But with that said, he'll slip the hat on. How's it look, Akira?]

[survivaltricks]

[oh. . . so Akira's hesitation was noted. he lets out a small, sheepish huff and looks back at Chuuya with a nod]

I know.

[BOY. . . DOES HE KNOW, and with another exhale he continues]

Trust me. . . I know.





I was right; it does look good on you.

[shortforever]

[Good. If Akira understands, then Chuuya won't have to explain further. Plus given Akira's earlier reluctance to even admit to being a nasty crimeboy, Chuuya gets the feeling that anything about Akira's past will have to come out on Akira's terms.

Which is fine. Akira is interesting enough for Chuuya to be patient.]

Right? I can make anything look good, but this hat is actually pretty nice.

[survivaltricks]

[Chuuya may get it one day!1 he just has to be a rank four friend first--]

You need to accessorize it. Maybe add a few pins or buttons to the ribbon around the middle?

[shortforever]

[They will have to be idiots at each other until friendship rank improves.]

What, the red one isn't enough?

[survivaltricks]

It's definitely not enough.

Needs to be gaudier.

[shortforever]

I'm not going too gaudy here, that'd be stupid. And I'm not going to look stupid by myself.
