“How serendipitous for us to meet again this morning.”
There he went again, trotting out words that were bigger than necessary in front of this boy he barely knew anything about, except for a faint kinship he felt. He wondered, whether he was trying to intimidate or impress him. Gloved hands reached out in greeting. However, rather than a simple handshake, Akechi pulled himself closer to Akira.
“I know it is uncharacteristic of an honor student to say something like this, but how about instead of taking the train to school today, why don’t we take the opposite route and play hooky together?” It was a boy he knew almost nothing about, but Akechi knew in his heart the phantom thief stood right in front of him. He was intent on laying this trap to observe him closer.
