I... I was so angry when he told me he was going to kill others and just... just leave me behind for selfish reasons... I couldn't think. All I knew was that I had to do something.
...
A robot must protect its own existence... except when such action would conflict with the First or Second Law. To bear witness to someone willing to take a life, openly so, and to do nothing to sucessfully intervene... that is a conflict of the First Law.
I had brought a scalpel with me, in hopes that if he would attack me, he would be able to... to get it out of his system without doing any real damage. I just turned it on myself.
He said I mattered too much. So I... I mutilated myself to force him to change his mind.
[... Holy shit. That's worse. That's worse? That is so much worse than anything he imagined. He stares at her like he can't quite believe what he's hearing.]
You absolute imbecile.
[Hissed through his teeth.
There is more he could say but, haha! That's just screaming into the void, isn't it?]
If you have no plans for tonight, you do now. [Figure out what that means, Luna.] Will you do this again if things take a turn for the worst this weekend?
[She seems to realize immediately that she's no longer in a state to defend herself on that regard, though. Her mouth immediately shuts, carefully trying to consider what to say next.]
...
I'm... not allowed to kill myself simply because I might be in a state of despair, Akechi. I don't... I don't entirely know why I went as far as I did... even though the logic is sound for the sake of directives, I... I wouldn't want to do that normally...
That's part of why I don't want to be near Reito. I... I think I was effective, but... not in a good way at all.
[Yeah... That ship has, unfortunately, set sail! Akechi watches her carefully as he listens to what she has to say. It... almost feels like he's gauging her expression to determine how sincere she's being, and whatever he finds there? It apparently makes him uncomfortable enough that he clenches his jaw and looks away.
After a moment:]
Is that it? You will have to mend that bridge if you don't want it to become a problem down the line.
There are other matters I have to attend before tonight. [Time to get up from his spot on the ground, dusting his paths off.] Keep an eye on your phone. I will message you again to meet up before 11:00.
[And once again, she's leaving a conversation with him feeling like the object. But right now, given what she's just told him... maybe that was for the best.]

He's... very, very emotionally volatile at the moment. I know better than to push something with someone like that now...
[And she's just. Going to intentionally glance towards Akechi.]

He deserves that, but it still hurts.

O...okay. I'll be there.
