Summary
A ringing noise filled his ears as he watched the two men walk off of the stage. His name wasn’t mentioned once. The TV cut away from the stage to a reporter on the scene before it was shut off. He vaguely registered red hair swishing past him. His hands shook. He clasped his hands together and squeezed. The trembling spread up his arms.
Don’t bite your nails, he told himself, there’s clear polish on them. Ingesting too much is toxic. You’ve been doing so well.

For Goro, celebrations never turned out how he hoped.

Summary
"You want me to hurt you because nobody else will, and it'll fulfill two of your needs at once," Akechi cuts him off, matter-of-fact. "Two contradictory needs."
Akira swallows thickly. He simply nods.
The boy who killed him—in his own mind, in a parallel universe, in a world Yaldabaoth wrung red and drowned in his ichor—takes a step back. He says, "I don't think I will ever understand you, Akira," in a low voice, and then he plunges his serrated blade into Akira's thigh.
(Akira is starved for touch, touch of any kind. Some forms of human contact are easier to ask for than others.)
