[Nic sits down, making a face like he's already trying to think out how he wants to word this.]
You're the most normal person who knows about my pills. I've been keeping it to myself because...
That memory everyone got earlier from me, that's how most people treat us Twilights. Like we're beneath them. Monsters. I thought if people knew, they'd feel the same way.
[... There's something funny about being told he's a "normal" person, but Akechi doesn't let it show on his face as he reads what Nic has written down.]
Ah... So that's it. [A pause, as he thinks about how to respond.] We all hail from different worlds. Furthermore, we are all united by a common goal. I suppose it's hard to believe it after you have spent all your life being oppressed, but no one cares about what you are. Who you are is far more valuable to our cause.
[Nic looks at Akechi for a long moment, like he's evaluating him. It's a bit disconcerting the way Nic stares, with his dark eyes, and it's something he does a fair amount.]
Well, it's true enough here, I suppose. Most people are more willing to set aside their prejudices in a crisis situation. [He thinks it would maybe be different if they weren't all under threat.]

Do you really believe that?

I don't make a habit of saying things I don't believe, Nicolas-san.

[It would probably be the same, tbh. Maybe with a little less casual acceptance of murder, but...]
