Calling the Old Man Out
[Goro has barely been seen since getting back from the Fissure, only leaving his room briefly to eat a couple times a day, coffee in hand and looking half asleep. Now, though, he seems to finally be properly awake...at approximately 8PM.]
Good...erm, evening, I suppose. I’m sorry I’ve been so absent lately, that Fissure must have taken more out of me than I thought.
But, now that I’m recovered, there’s something important I need to tell everyone. The last batch of new arrivals included a man named Masayoshi Shido. He’s my father, and a truly despicable man, who has had numerous people killed for his own convenience or benefit. He even had my mother killed to cover up the scandal of my birth.
[Here he holds up a phone, showing a picture of Shido...with what looks like avocado and cheese smeared on his face and a shrimp up his nose, wearing the most tiredly Done expression as he reaches for the offending crustacean.]
I injured him in the forest in retaliation for the things he’s done to me, one of my boyfriends, and countless others, but don’t mistake him for someone who deserves your pity. He’s physically not much of a threat, but he is a skilled schemer and manipulator, and-
[ Which is the moment that the video will shake, and a very brief flash of a familiar face (spoiler: Akira’s) can be seen. Off-screen, he’s gently pressing a kiss to Goro’s cheek, whispering that he loves him. Don’t mind the view of a ceiling for a moment, guys - it’s a nice ceiling, at least?
… He’ll properly make it up to Goro, later, if he can? For now, though, he gently brushes the fingers of one hand through his boyfriend’s hair. Akira’s face can properly be seen, after he takes a quiet breath. He looks… well, how most would remember? Only with a bit more of a tiredness to it, maybe.
Though, that’s not taking away from how serious he looks as he speaks. ]
... and, while Goro is right about all of that, there is one more detail I feel should be taken into account. Shido isn’t a good person, but he’s well-aware of that now. He’s done unforgivable things, but his eyes were opened to all of it after his ass was kicked.
[ JUST SAYING… ]
Anyway, nobody has to worry about him. Besides, he knows if he tried anything, he’d have to answer to all of us from his world, and then some.
[ JUST SAYING... ]
[This is the point where Goro takes his tablet back, looking a bit huffy.]
It’s true, he isn’t likely to be a threat now. But he absolutely doesn’t deserve anyone’s kindness or sympathy.

And I will fight with everything I have to see that it works out in your favor.
no subject
And if you do, I'll be sending you the bill for cleaning my ransacked apartment and the missing gun.
no subject
You are... no longer with us, in my world... If what the Metaverse being told me was true.
no subject
It sounds like you had quite the interesting mental image of me.

It tears through him all over again. Because of his carelessness, because of his callousness, because of everything, he killed the only son he ever knew.]
I did, I... I had no concept of the value of a human life. Not even my own son's.
Right now I am a pathetic and broken man with an ugly heart. But if nothing else... I want to make up to you all those lost and painful years. But perhaps there is some merit to what the others are saying. I don't want to make things worse for you anymore than I already am.

...If you really want to make it up to me...start with working to counter those years I spent fending for myself. Those years she spent working herself to the bone for the child whose mere existence ruined her life.
All this time, I've wanted you to feel the despair she felt because you inflicted a child on her. Even with the truth about her death, I still want you to know how it feels to push yourself to exhaustion just to get by in the world.
no subject
... then I will work myself to the bone. But Akechi... your mother did love you.
[He's done enough damage here. He won't be responding after this.]
