[It's rare to see Akechi truly speechless. This little spiel smacks of the same kind of genuine concern the Phantom Thieves had displayed back in the bowels of Shido's Palace. It's unfathomable. Haru's extending a kind hand, and like a dog that's been hit too many times, Akechi wants to bite it to keep himself safe.
If she can say such things to him, perhaps that's why she can see her father as the man he used to be, instead of the twisted, corrupt piece of shit Akechi had executed in much the same manner as he'd done to many of Okumura's rivals. Haru isn't like Ann, who'd admitted to wanting to keep Kamoshida alive just to force him to suffer for the rest of his life. She says she doesn't forgive him, but allowing him to continue without even a passing attempt at revenge is more than he could have ever expected.]
Well, [he says finally, returning his attention to the chess board and moving his bishop forward.] If we're repeating ourselves, allow me to reiterate: I will never understand you and your friends. You specifically have more reason than most to want me dead, or at the very least, miserable.
