[The last Yusuke had remembered of home had been fresh off the back of a certain betrayal, Akira being dragged off and arrested, and the announcement of the demise of the leader of the Phantom Thieves. That, on top of everything that had happened to them in Hadriel -- another betrayal, and fighting just to survive for weeks on end against creatures determined to wipe out both them and the gods -- had served only to put Yusuke on edge far more than the paranoia and stress of fugitive life in Tokyo ever had. Things have been hard, and having Akira here for company had been one of the few things keeping him going.
So to see Akechi show up is almost the final straw. His first instinct is to leave and check his leader is safe, but then, he wonders if Akechi even knows he's here yet. No, better to stay and get whatever information he can. They've been playing him at his own game of lies for this long, might as well play a little longer.]
Akechi. [When he approaches, Yusuke will make little effort to disguise his hostility, tone cold and eyes narrowed.] When did you get here?
[There's something off about Akechi today, on closer observation. But then, everything about Akechi is off. There's more important things to ask about first.]
