He's wrong. Akashi's wrong about a lot of things... But he seems to, ah— almost hold you guys to a different standard than he holds me, or even Henry. I don't know this for sure, but if I was—I dunno, hypnotized or possessed, not myself—and I hurt Henry and went to him, maybe he'd just wonder why I did it. I could hear him saying how "unusual" that is for me and telling me not to get to wrapped up in crazytown because it'd be troublesome if I was...

Or maybe he would still get angry, because they have a thing and someone interrupted it. [ Akashi does the friendship thing very, very strangely. Pushing it a bit further to assume he also does the "mutual bonding" thing strangely, especially when it involves harm and murder in the background, doesn't seem so farfetched. ]
