but what other choice is there

anything that allows me to keep living is good, right? as long as i keep going, it's good, right? i'm doing this because i want to live. but is this really all i'll amount to in the end? maybe tomorrow will be kinder. i just have to hold on. ......or something like that. smile

(clarification time) sumire breakdown while practicing gymnastics bc she cant do what kasumi did and she doesnt know why exactly bc of the actualization. i used to be so good. i used to be flawless. what happened to me? i like it when "sumire" pokes out of the gaps of "kasumi", because her perception of her sister is not 100% her sister. she feels something is wrong, but maybe if she keeps going, she'll feel better. anything to help her gymnastics, right? anything.

akira huddled up in his attic right after moving into leblanc. how did his life come to this? what is he meant to do now? is it over for him? lost and scared and alone but he has to keep going. even though everything and everyone is against him, he has to find some way to keep going. even if he has to return to this shoddy empty dusty little attic every day he has to hold on, just for another day. don't think about the day after that or you'll crumple under its weight.

goro.. :') i think he's the one that has to repeat this mantra the most through all the mental shutdowns. all of the murder. he has to detach himself.... anything that allows me to keep living is good, right? this is worth something for the future me. i'm trying to do it right, but something's wrong along the way, but at least i'm still living, right? ...

thinking sooooo hard about the removed akechi mementos request. not only because we got to see him Ace Detective-ing (peak!) but because the moral of it all is so. Akechi. very long rant incoming

one of the major things that I think sets him apart from the rest of the thieves is that he doesn’t believe that circumstances lessen the effects of actions. like at all. there are multiple examples of this but the cutscene during marukis fight where he’s the only one to keep attacking (and him being the only one to show outright disdain towards maruki in general) + the thieves den conversation with yusuke about shido / madarame (Y: “Perhaps there was a certain misstep in his life that eventually led him so astray.” A: “So you’re saying he may not have been truly evil? Your drivel’s as outlandish as always…”) are ones that stand out to me most. he doesn’t care about what causes bad people to be the way they are, and he doesn’t care what otherwise good people’s intentions are when they do bad things. the act itself is what matters

it goes without saying that this extends to himself, I mean he outright states that he cant comprehend the phantom thieves not just killing him after the engine room fight. he didn’t mean that as a “wow... I can’t believe you’re being so nice to little old me….” moment. it was him being genuinely confused as to why they’re still trying to get him on their side. because he didn’t say anything he said to gain pity points with them, nor does he think the things he said deserve enough pity points to spare his life

and then you have this mementos request. in which a corrupt diet member has a son with his mistress, who subsequently commits suicide, and then falsely accuses the son of a crime many years down the line. “you all want to help that poor victim, don’t you?” akechi says. the poor victim, who was enacting a revenge plot on his criminal father that made him into a criminal as well. huh.

again, this is all coming from the guy who like a month ago, got a heartfelt speech about how he can still come back from what he’s done because the thieves can understand where he’s coming from. this happens at (arguably) his emotional lowest, where it probably hits harder than it could at any other time. and this is his direct response to that. this is him saying, in essence, that their kind words at the end were nonsensical, because his circumstances Don’t Matter

after he sends these texts, morgana goes “But akechi is just like him…” because it’s true, but that’s the Point. It makes no difference that akechi can empathize, and place himself directly in toji’s shoes. he had a hunch about the truth the entire time, and he still aided in making toji’s act of extortion exposed. understanding the viewpoint of someone who does bad things Does Not Matter to him

and that, to me, is what his sense of justice is at it’s core. which is why in the end, he doesn’t have that same sympathy for himself that everyone else does. he killed people. end of story. no other notes

and my god! I really wish they kept this in, because it really hammers in that extra layer he has to him. atlus do you hate me
