Okay. I... I'll have to prioritize if anyone gets hurt, but...
[Her voice has dropped to an almost detached monotone. She's so tired, and all of the harsh things he's ever said, even yesterday, still sting. But... she wants to still try and trust Akechi. To believe that there's that good in him that she felt in his memory, his dying moments.
... No, there isn't. [He inches away from the door, if only so he can unlock it.] I don't understand how your body operates, but don't waste all your energy before tomorrow. We still need you, after all, Doctor.
[... Is that his way of telling her to get some rest? Maybe. Akechi will glance at her one last time before he steps out, though.]
