Akechi just kinda lifts his hands, looking ready to seriously strangle Joker before Terezi quietly pushes them down and asks him to please not.

Himari pipes up, "Did anyone consider that maybe he's not planning on staying with said gang? I get it, he's done horrible things and I'm not condemning what he's done, but was no one paying attention to the reasons Terezi gave as why she hadn't arrested his ass yet? Yeah, it's out of her jurisdiction, but she also said that she thought the guilt of what he had done weighing down on him was a good punishment. So, maybe, just maybe he's done everything he's done because he doesn't have alternative to reach his goal? What if his goal lines up with yours? Or maybe a specific individual's goal in your group?"

"Yeah right," Futaba shakes her head, she has a hard time believing that.

Akechi turns to her, looking surprisingly calm given how angry he seemed with Joker earlier. "You want to get revenge on the man leading the conspiracy who killed your mother, right?"

"Akechi, you killed my mother, do you honestly think I could forgive you?" Futaba glares at him, tears pricking at her eyes.

"I wouldn't forgive me either. And I'm not looking for forgiveness. Which is why I'm going after the same man who got your mother killed and ruined your life, not going after the forgiveness of people who, I know, will never give it to someone like me. Why would I go after Shido? Because he did the exact same thing to me. Your mother and the rest of you got in the way. That's not my problem. You should have stayed out of a mess you didn't belong in, but you didn't. That's not my fault."
