Hey, this is Akira Kurusu and I'm not available right now. Leave a message and I'll get back to it as soon as I can.

Thanks. We may be vigilantes, but we have our hearts in the right place...

[ HE CAN FEEL A BOND GROW BETWEEN THEM though he didn't expect it to be like this. ]

We'll stand and fight for those that can't. If one of us ever strays, I'm sure we'll keep each other in check.

[SOCIAL RANK LVL 1? wow that's awesome.

also akira, that's so JRPG protag. You're doing well, kid. For now, though, Mako laughs a little bit.]

Spoken like a true superhero.

Thanks for explaining, Akira.

[maskreant]

[ It may be more than 1 by now, but whatever. ]

Excuse you, we're actually menaces to society. Get it right.

[ He'll laugh a bit, too. ]

It doesn't change your impressions of Ann, I hope?

[browbeater]

It depends on the perspective, doesn't it?

[a pause, with a slight 'hmm.']

But no, it doesn't change my opinion on Ann. It just makes things clearer. I should have asked her, but, hey, it gives me another chance to figure you out too.

[maskreant]

I guess you can say that? In the end, it doesn't change what we do.

[ And it won't change what they believe. ]

... You're taken, Mister Lou.

[browbeater]

[can you hear him eyeroll. he's eyerolling pretty hard at that. thank you, fearless leader, he knows.]

How is that supposed to imply I'm not, Mr. Kurusu.

[he sighs.]

If anything, I should want to get to know Ann's friends better. Especially ones that seem pretty important to her.

[maskreant]

I'm just joking and I know you know that, Mister Lou. Or should I call you Mako? Since we're supposed to get to know each other.

[ LIGHTEN UP, BUD. ]

You're going to regret this.

[browbeater]

That is the most ominous greeting of friendship I've ever heard, Akira.

[it's kind of amusing. Bring it on.]

I'll talk to you later, then.
