Will you stop talking like we're interchangeable?!
[You really think Joker would be capable of having a conversation like that? He's not. For some reason or another, maybe because of the landscape of their mind, Akira and Joker don't seem to operate like the normal 'two sides, one coin' Shadow diagram. Terry never had a Shadow engagement alongside Akira, but he's always tried to approach other Shadows this way too, treating them as their own person rather than a manifestation of someone else...]
Sure I saw it, sure I was there, but that entire thing working hinges on whether or not the person hearing it can actually believe you! Akira probably did because he's a fucking idiot, and back then he still wanted so hard to see the best in all of you— because that's what he's supposed to do, to be a "good person", keeping up that routine meant that he wouldn't have to give anything over to me! But I'm not like that, I don't believe in anyone like that, so of course I'm still going to believe the worst of you, because there is absolutely NO FUCKING TIMELINE where I'm going to let him die!!
