I didn't say there's anything wrong with saying it might not be right. You're entitled to your opinion, and the odds aren't in our favor.

[ He's not even sure if they're a match himself, honestly... and he's not trying to be a goody-goody, he just wants things to be civil. ]

But come on dude, "complete failure?" That's harsh. I thought you got along with Wednesday.

[ If she thought they had a chance, isn't calling their match up a total mismatch something of an insult? ]

I do like Wednesday-san but that's why I don't think this will be a success. I hope this Sakamoto-san isn't fooling all of you. [Deep and dramatic sigh.] It took me a bit but I recognized his school uniform. It's a school for troubled kids and with the way he's spoken to me here... Well, needless to say I can see why he goes there.

[Why not just lie? Whose here to stop him???? No one.]

If I'm proven wrong then I'm proven wrong but one should be mindful of a goofy smile and an act of bashfulness.

...

Hey.

[ Just piping up. ]

Troubled kid or not, I respect that he's lived in whatever way he could. Just like all of us have. So don't say that like his background's made him any less than any of us.

Haha, of course.

[They say this but if people knew about him this wouldn't be the response. Some bumbling oaf somehow manages to win the heart of the people. Nausiating. Infuriating.

(Aya is forced to write against her will: they don't know he was an unwanted child.)]

[ Don't worry Akechi, she accepts the unwanted children too. One of her Servants is the collective consciousness of a bunch of them. You ain't special. ]

I didn't exactly stumble into my job because I was amazing, you know.

[ oh no ]

So what? Wednesday-chan and Mii-chan both give off the impression of girls you'd never wanna mess with because of their looks and bad attitudes, but they're both super nice! And he's been a real jerk to me too, sure, but I think he's a honest guy! I wouldn't have wanted to help him out if he wasn't!

[ which is why she's RELUCTANTLY going to root for minami when it's his turn. ]

Sure, Sakamoto-kun's got a rough attitude, he curses a lot, and frankly he's pretty dumb, but he gets so worked up over certain things that I can't help but feel he's a good guy! And he's got actual opinions!

[ UNLIKE!!!!! AKECHI!!!!!! ]

[ So, he doesn't want Wednesday to be matched with him because he doesn't like Ryuji. That's pretty obvious. And petty...

However, he thinks back to what Ryuji had said about his family — shitty dad, single mom. He can relate, and maybe that makes him a bit more empathetic towards him, and hesitant to believe Akechi. Especially after seeing the stark difference in his demeanor after seeing that card. ]

Well, I won't say I have "detective's intuition," but I don't think it's an act.

[ Ryuji seems overly earnest, actually. He reminds Josuke a lot of his best friend — and it's not like they're close yet, even if Josuke likes him, but it leaves a bad taste in his mouth to hear Ryuji talked about this way. Still. He's good at keeping his cool, so he doesn't try to come off like he's attacking Akechi. If anything, he'll give him the chance to elaborate, so he can see how deep this rabbit hole goes. Call it Joestar intuition... ]

Why don't you be a little more specific, if you're worried about us being fooled? What're you worried is gonna happen?

Well... [He waits a beat.] No...I shouldn't say. It might compromise my investigation back home.

Haha, I'm probably worrying for nothing.

Surely the producers wouldn't have let anyone too bad on their television show. I'm sure it's fine and he's nothing more than a troubled teenager.

You're the one that brought all this up. So forgive me if I can't believe you if you can't even try to back up what you're saying.

[ Only then does he sound a little annoyed... his impression now is that Akechi is wishy washy, or perhaps not brave enough to actually bring to light what's bothering him. Lame... ]
