[ Akira watches. It's what he's best at, really; he doesn't normally speak nearly as much as he does with Goro, doesn't find that he has that much to say to the situation when he could be watching and learning instead. And he does learn: he learns lots of Goro's little tells, learns what the silences between his words mean and the microexpressions that flick across his face mean.
So he notices when Goro's expression goes slack and then covers automatically with a thin veneer. Akira catches the way Goro sidesteps the subject of the future in a vague way. ]
... was it the idea of having a future, or did you think I was looking forward to getting rid of you? [ Akira leans in, bonks their shoulders together. ]
