I'll be able to ask how you felt. That would be a bonus to it all. [Akechi sounds as if he's still lost in thought. It's not as if he can return to that woman and ask her to communicate what she feels with him. She can't, and frankly, he doubts that she would want to. There is a solid chance her recollection of what happened prior to her ... attack includes him. Physical contact is a downfall of this ability.]

I'll keep your offer in mind. [A beat.] Needless to say, I think using your ability on me would be far too risky.

[Akechi doesn't need a reason to be ... bolder in his own brand of selfish defiance.]
