[ It's been a few months since Akira has made his decision; the uncertainty until the very last moment made Maruki wonder if they're going to stand against each other, after all. Thankfully, that outcome was avoided altogether and everyone—not just Akira and his friends, but truly everyone could find their happiness.
Everything he did is for humanity's good. That belief is deeply rooted within Maruki who could let out a sigh of relief when Akira agreed to stay in the reality he has created for him as well as others. This way, the leader of the Phantom Thieves could leave his regrets behind and live a normal life if he only decided to do so.
Maruki didn't interfere much ever since. He's taken the role of an observer after deciding that he'd step in only if it was necessary. Everything was going according to his plan, however, so there was no need for such measures. He's still working at school, even though there's no need for his services. Just in case, Maruki makes sure not to cross paths with Akira too often; while he might have agreed to this kind of a solution, there's no need to remind him about all the doubts he used to have. His own belief might be strong, yet there's a chance Akira hasn't fully accepted everything.
Still, Maruki is sure that these things need time. Even if Akira hasn't realized that his decision was a good one, sooner or later he will come to this conclusion. For some reason, he wasn't worried about other people finding out—which turns out to be a grave mistake in the end.
Maintaining the reality they've been living for months now with his powers wasn't an easy task, but at this point, it comes with ease. Actually, Maruki knows who's waiting for him way before he enters the apartment building. ]
Akechi-kun.
[ Maruki has passed the spot Akechi chose already and stops with his back turned on the boy. ]
Put it away, please. I assume that you want answers.
[ The spell doesn't seem to be working anymore for some reason which fills Maruki with dread even if he's trying to remain calm. This might be the beginning of the end and he's fully aware of it. ]
it's perfect ♥
