[He has taken off his shirt so many times in the past weeks, so her request isn't something he deliberates on for too long. It takes a bit of effort, given the the state of his torso, but his shirt gets neatly folded up and placed on the bed once he's done. For now, all Luna will see are some hastily applied bandages and a smattering of bruises all over his upper half.
But, while he's doing this:]
You didn't answer my question from earlier. How do you benefit from this?
[If you're gonna be just business, Akechi, then so is she. Well... as best as she can, at least.
Gonna take a closer look at you, twink detective. She knows he has one on his arm and his side, but what else are we looking at here?]
It's a close guess. What happened on Wednesday was intentional. I... believe was linked to Ash the whole week, and I... um... lost my temper numerous times. Sometimes irrationally so. I knew from previous conversations that the failure of some of my higher level processes would be something that a human mind apparently can't take. But I only meant it to gain space. And yet, I... I took it too far.
[It's easier to be just business once that facade of his has been stripped down, you know. Luna already saw how unpleasant the alternative is.]
Because of the effect from sleeping in the chapel?
[WELL... There's a lot going on here, so. Uh. The gashes on his arm and side are the worst of it for sure. But beside that, there are scratches on his other side and scratches on his back, which trail up his neck. Both of these sets look like something with blunt fingernails was desperately clawing at him, digging their fingers into him until they broke through skin. Additional scratches are visible just above his waistband, and there are more on his face. This set looks like claw marks from a literal animal.
His left arm is littered in smaller, scabbed over injuries, but these are way older than the rest. If Luna is removing the bandages to look at everything else, she will notice that 1) he obviously didn't have access to sutures when the deeper injuries happened, and 2) he's been using too much hydrogen peroxide because the skin looks dry and slightly irritated.]

Because taking care of a human being is something I'm inherently programmed to do.

You're like 45-san, then. A machine.
[Matter-of-factly. There's nothing in his tone that suggests he's repulsed or put off by it.]
Did you crash your own system on Wednesday and Friday? You were out of commission for a while.

[She'll swallow dryly.]
Friday was... different.
