Yes, it is. Good job.

I was letting you know as a courtesy that I will likely be out for some time.

[placation]

It is not even morning

Stop texting me good morning when it isn't even morning?

[enteloki]

This is a common time for people to get up for work you know. It is morning, whether you're awake or not.

I often had to leave this early for news shoots.

[placation]

Oh wow being the Detective Prince sounds really hard, tell me more

[enteloki]

[OH!

He's sensing an ATTITUDE.]

You seem upset this morning. Surely it's not because of a simple text.

[placation]

[ and there's more where that came from ]

I'm not upset. I'm perfectly calm, as always. I have a good handle on my emotional responses and reactions, and I'm not easily upset. Unless I'm given a subpar cup of coffee. I'm kidding, of course.

[This fucker did not just-]

[enteloki]

That's good to know - thank you for the in-depth response.

You know what I find interesting?

I know age can be an issue with this, so I think it's time I teach you how to use your phone. There's a button on the side - it's somewhat small. It's something I can mark for you so it's easy for you to spot. No offense of course.

It's called 'do not disturb' - do you need a thorough explanation of its capabilities?

[placation]

But if I did that, who would you text at 4 AM? I'd hate to take away that 24/7 policy that you love to take advantage of so much.

[ He's properly awake now. God dammit Akechi. ]

What ordeal could you possibly have gotten yourself into at this hour anyway?

1/2

[enteloki]

[First of all, how dare this man imply Akechi texts him often, let alone at weird hours.

[SMASHCUT TO EVERY TEXT HE HAS EVER SENT]

Secondly-]

It's a rare occasion that I text you at all, let alone at odd hours. Don't imply otherwise. It's disingenuous of you in a way I wouldn't expect from a humble, honest counselor.

[placation]

[ Not letting him finish. A screenshot is immediately sent of their text history.

Several screenshots, in fact.

Let's say seven. ]

[enteloki]

[Not even left on read!

Instantly deleted, actually.

Wow, phone glitches!!! ]

[ATTACHMENT 14.JPG

Eren, potentially asleep or dead. Akechi, very clearly sitting on him from the angle and glimpse of lanky leg in the photo.]

This kind.

[placation]

Did you kill Eren.

[enteloki]

What kind of person do you think I am?

I'm a detective - I wouldn't kill anyone.

He's asleep, more than likely.

[placation]

So wake him up? I don't understand what the problem is here...

[enteloki]

He told me to do so at 6AM. I'll wake him then.

[placation]

[ Face slammed down into pillows. Teenagers are so goddamn stupid. ]

So you do know how long this ordeal will last. It will last until roughly 6 AM.

[enteloki]

Perhaps.

You understand how plans can change though - it's necessary to adapt to any scenario that may occur.

[placation]

Right. Like Eren staying asleep longer on th

Are you guys on the ground?

[enteloki]

Yes, how astute. I can see how you managed to become such a prominent researcher with those observation skills.

Have you considered being a detective on the side?

[placation]

That's the second time you've insinuated I should be your assistant. Have you heard about projecting your unconscious desires?

[enteloki]

[OKAY!!!!!!]

Perhaps you're right.

Upon reflecting on it, my only unconscious desire is to help you find a career where you can afford a dorayaki without wishing on a crystal ball.

[placation]

... I know that you're joking, but without a hint of irony, that should probably be my goal too. Ugh.

Anyhow. Why are you sitting(?) on Eren(??) on the ground(???) at 4 AM(!?)

[enteloki]

This may be a good time to inform you being a detective prince isn't a lucrative career either. It doesn't garner the money you think it would.

And we both tripped while jogging. A shame, really. Quite the foolish error on our part.
