[ sure he is. dolph aims to finish off the game. ]

Does yours? Does it save anyone?

[enteloki]

[ And if Akechi were entirely honest, he would state with the utmost resolve that he could give two goddamn shits about who's saved by it.

And if Akechi were entirely a liar, he would state with the utmost bravado that it would save the world.

And because Akechi sits comfortably between the two with Dolph -

He watches the final balls drop into their respective pockets and states - ]

Who can truly say. [ It might save someone. May save no one. Akechi may not live long enough to see its aftermath. ] Some matters must be taken on with a certain degree of risk. No, perhaps it will help no one. Maybe it will help everyone. The future is an unpredictable thing, after all.

[ that's a wishy-washy answer, but it's probably closer to the truth as dolph is going to get. he's not going to push it further. not for this. ]

Just remember. Understanding human nature and humanity is different.

Don't fall into the same trap.

[enteloki]

I suppose that's true. One cannot exist without the other. You don't gain knowledge of both by only acknowledging one though.

[ Even though the game's over -

Akechi starts to pluck the balls from the pockets and toss them back onto the table. ]

You're welcome to watch or join me. It's your house after all, but I need the practice if I'm going to beat you. I hope you don't mind if I stay for some time to do so.

[ dolph raises an eyebrow. ]

You think you can?

[enteloki]

I'm not one to give up, even when the odds are stacked in someone else's favor. There's a chance it could fall and I can make it happen. Besides -

Why wouldn't I take the opportunity to rise to such a challenge?

[ his expression softens. ]

You do like the hopeless ones. Why not. Give it your best shot.
