He's a man with no ulterior motive, Akechi-kun. And here's what it all comes down to - being around a man like that changes you. I think someone like you would find that sort of proposal a weakening of one's own capabilities. That's what it will come down to, if you ask me. You can change, because I have, and I am trying to. Otherwise, that's where your so-called destruction lies. It won't be of him, it will be of you.

(difficult, isn't it? this is what akechi called dazai for. this is the punch to the gut he's willing to give the other.)
