He won't last through a jog at this rate. Maybe he should lay down for a quick nap. He didn't notice the time. Cup? On the desk next to him. His ass? Back on the edge of the bed. ]
No, I haven't. Time must have slipped by me. [ A wide gesture towards the door. ] Leave.
[ He does follow this order, though. It's enough to know that Akechi's too far gone to force himself awake again... well, most likely. Never say never, especially not against this boy in particular.
