Excuse me, McGonagall-sensei! Do you have a moment?

I intend to talk to him next. I'd heard he'd approached Saihara, but it seems like he ended up too worried about me belong alone... which is, I suppose, a reasonable worry. I'm not a terribly trusting person. But I think of everyone else here, you're the least likely to kill me.

[a pause. he knows he shouldn't, but can't stop himself from addressing that tone]

...Will Graham is not the monster that everyone seems to think he is, you know. He's been very kind to me.

Indeed, he did mention something similar to that. [That he was worried about Akechi being alone -- and that he thought McGonagall was the person least likely to kill him. He's not wrong, but...yeah.

She doesn't seem impressed about Akechi's defense of Will, but she refrains from sounding like she's attacking Akechi's opinion.]

I feel there's some measure of sincerity regarding his kindness towards you, but I'd like to spend as little time as possible near that man, though.

That said, I shall also inform him of these developments. He may trust you, but in a place like this another person corroborating what's said is bound to spare us all some trouble.

[definitely irritated at "some measure," but he ignores it and slaps on a passive-aggressive smile]

Then how fortunate you won't have to.

But of course. Communication is key. Let's meet up again if anything changes before nightfall.
