[ So, it's hours before everyone is going to show up!
Lucio has him pulled aside. All of this was vaguely said already, but he's giving a succinct version: ]
So, to refresh your memory, I will treat you the same as them. You will be waiting out there alongside them, pretending to have just woken up.
You will challenge their trust - two or three per week should be fine. Any more than that could cause a messy kind of chaos.
I will grant you your greatest desire after this is over. You won't be targeted for contracted murders nor will you be selected for execution during trials.
[ Hmmm. He considers all of this, turning it over and over again in his mind... ]
Sowing the seeds of distrust shouldn't be too difficult. [ The way he says that so calmly... Yikes! ] But I am curious. If someone is determined to kill me, how do you intend to stop that? Bribery? Striking them down yourself?
They'll either die at my hands or they'll die at the hands of Akutagawa. Though, I'd be surprised if someone with your observational skills risked lowering his guard.
[ And that's said with such ease... ]
All murders will come with a contract, which is to be signed on Tuesday. [ he holds a blink, and then lifts his hand ] And there's nothing I don't see.
[ In front of his hand is what looks like one of those sci-fi computer screens, floating with images of places around the castle. He opens his eyes, and then he closes his fist. The images vanish. ]
I don't let those I've made a deal with fall so easily. Besides... I trust you can last a week with only one ability. After this week, your powers will be fully restored.
[ There's far too much riding on this. Akechi considers that, and seems to find it satisfactory, because he nods. ]
I suppose so. [ But he won't deny--at least to himself--that he feels a little... empty? ] Though, I have to inquire about the ability I have been given.
[ Hey, do you accept constructive criticism? Because it fucking sucks! ]

Any questions?

What did it give you?
[ "It". ]
