Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

actually SO GOOD, the POV switching is really the cherry on top, the author is amazing at characterizing both of them and the nuances they observe in each other

Summary
Akira and Akechi's torturous courtship, in review. We'll hit high points like "TFW your crush murders you," and "what to do when your crush trusts you with his true self (but his true self is the literal god of deceit)." Will they kiss eventually? Assuredly yes! I could not live with myself if they did not.
[all conceivable P5R spoilers]
-----
It would all be okay if he could just call Akechi, and—
Akira glares at his laundry. And what, moron? Apologize? For being murdered? 'I’m sorry, Akechi. I suspect that your stunted, shriveled conscience gave one last little kick at the sight of me bleeding out on the interrogation desk, and I hate the idea that it hurt you.'

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.
