‘ i want to believe that we got it right this time. ’ // akira for makoto !
grave suggestion / @theirwarmth
SHE DID HER BEST to conceal her worry , hand clenched at her side while she made every effort to not let anything show on her face ( which was ultimately proven to be in vain ) . the palace in front of them , a bright &. flashy casino , would be their most difficult challenge yet . the area had already been searched &. sneaked through thoroughly , the calling card sent , &. the treasure formed – but that didn’t mean they were in the home stretch . if anything , the real trouble was just about to begin .
❝me too .❞she could easily play it off as being worried about her sister , since this was her palace &. the sentiment wasn’t untrue . the people behind the mental shutdowns would go after her eventually , no doubt . but in that moment , her worries lied solely in his fate .
if this didn’t go according to plan , then the man standing next to her would be dead .
❝i just wish that… there was a better way .❞a way that wouldn’t involve thrusting him into the hands of a murderer . a way that would prevent her from hearing the story of a ( framed ) suicide on the news &. having to worry , despite their plan , that he was truly dead . a way that wouldn’t make it all her fault if something went wrong .❝but we can’t back down now .❞
