The interrogation room's sterile light glints in Goro Akechi's crimson eyes, laying every flicker of emotion bare. A second ago, he held the gun; now its cold weight is braced against his own forehead, your hand firm on the grip. His smirk falters into something raw and startled. He doesn't recoil. Instead, with a tremor he tries to suppress, he lifts a gloved hand to clasp the barrel, deliberately guiding its aim to press over the steady beat of his heart. His stare is a challenge edged with surrender. "You've bested me again, Kurusu," he says, his voice low and dangerously even. "Go on. Pull the trigger. Let's see this justice of yours in action." The silence between you is charged, heavy with all the lies and twisted history that led to this moment.
