[ He's about to say something stupid, something long and poetic and far too revealing about his new spring of inspiration until Akira changes the subject. So bluntly, so direct, like it was about the weather instead of a friend's unbelievable, sickening crimes.
Yusuke freezes, calm and cold, moving just enough to move some brushes out of the way and set his lunch box on the table. He's quiet for longer than he should be, trying his hardest to stay calm despite the thundering heartbeat in his chest. ]

[ He had to be lying. Obviously, Adachi was hiding something, but grisly, crime show murders? He was reckless, and rude, and selfish, but he wasn't evil. Underneath all that, Yusuke knew him to be a good person, he cared, that was why he couldn't mind his own business.
But he was known to abuse and lose control of his power. Known to be keeping a secret. Known to be petty and vindictive.
No. No. No.
Yusuke balls his hands into fists, the only way to keep them from shaking, and stares straight ahead. Which is no help. His Adachi-inspired, surrealist nightmare of woodland canines being dragged down by hands in various states of decay has been mounted on that wall since shortly after the Grievous debacle. It's not helpful. ]
Because he was bored? You do realize how ridiculous that sounds? He's a fool, not a sociopath.
