Random thought that I havenāt shared because itās technically a spoiler for the fic Iāve been working on but itās also been driving me crazy me for weeks so Iām airing it out. I donāt think enough people utilize akechi and harus parallels. But I also think that comes as a consequence of not thinking too hard about akechiās relationship with shido. Like. One of the saddest things about akechi to me personally is that there *is* still a part of him, a very small one, that cares for shido in some way. So small I donāt even think he notices that itās there until his own cognition throws it in his face
So with that in mind, picture this: You are Goro Akechi. You, obviously, hate your father with everything in you. Now picture that through the grapevine, you hear about Kunikazu Okumuraās shady dealings, the way he treats his workers, and the fact that he arranged a business marriage for his daughter in this day and age. Remind you of someone? Then, youāre ordered to kill him. Guilt has never stopped you from doing your job, nor do you think youād even feel guilty about this one. You do, however, feel bad about orphaning the girl. You probably see her in person a few times while youāre gathering information on him. She looks so sad. Remind you of someone? Now, you think, āwell if this is how her life is, she probably wonāt grieve him all that muchā because you donāt think youād mourn your father if he suddenly dropped dead on live TV. In fact, you know you wouldnāt. In fact, youād probably thank whoever did it if it didnāt interfere with your super secret revenge plot. Then, you kill him. And, genuine shocker, sheās heartbroken. Well? Now what?
I think her grief would disgust him a little bit on top of flat out confusing him at first. I donāt think it even crossed his mind that she would feel that way about it. He mightāve even seen it as doing her a favor. And then after the engine room when he realizes that the aforementioned small part of him exists, and that if shido was the one who died heād probably mourn a little too (not nearly as much as she did, but I probably donāt need to clarify that), heād probably be even more disgusted. You could even argue that talking to her would unnerve him more than it would unnerve her if you really wanted to. Because theyāre similar in the worst way they could possibly be in his eyes. Because thereās a part of both of them that cares for their fathers despite everything. Donāt you hate that
