[ if they're trapped here on this station for the foreseeable future, then Akechi is going to learn every last inch of it, he decides. most of his work as a detective was staged, true, but — it still seems most prudent to know this place floor to ceiling, in case there's some vital piece of information to be found, in case they end up desperately in need of something that exists elsewhere on the station. what else is there to do, anyway? he isn't going to sit around feeling sorry for himself, or thinking about the situation he was in before he woke up here. might as well make himself useful.
he is also, possibly, avoiding any more encounters with the Phantom Thieves he's reunited with thus far. Ryuji is the least complicated, but also the most annoying to deal with, and Akechi would honestly rather avoid the inevitable punch he's going to get when they see each other in person; he can maintain a professional distance from Makoto if they only talk in times of crisis. Ren, he doesn't want to think about at all.
so of course he turns a corridor and nearly runs right into Haru Okumura, who is only behind Ren on the list of people he least wants to speak with right now. there's a split second of honesty on his face — shock, and then something that might be irritation and might be distress — and then he smiles, as ever. ]
Okumura. [ his smile is... not quite right. it's tense, and maybe a little hysterical around the edges. ] Of course you're here too. God, all of you really do come as a set, don't you?
[ they can't leave him alone even once he's dead? it's cruel. ]
