I know Yaldobaoth is pissed that Maruki came around and completely outdid him as the main antagonist. All those years planning for a divine game of ruin vs. rehabilitation only to be outshined by some depressed teacher writing yaoi fanfic about his favorite students

Happy sad fuckboy day

let's go back to reality

[setotonin]

somebody needs to start fact checking him

[vinnigami]

Funny therapist man (Maruki) should meet actual good therapist (Mickey Mouse)

it’s a proven fact that therapy only works if Mickey Mouse is your therapist. he’s gonna put maruki out of a job!

Rating: T

Warnings: N/A

Fandom: Persona 5

Characters: Kurusu Akira, Akechi Goro, Maruki Takuto

Relationships: Goro Akechi/Akira Kurusu

Additional Tags: Time Loop, Hurt/Comfort, 2/2, PoV Akechi Goro

Summary:

Through the window, Goro notices. Of course he does. He’d be a poor detective if he wrote off the expressions people make.

No glasses could ever dull that glint of steel in Akira’s eyes as he stares Maruki down.

Akechi plans on watching Akira and Maruki meet, but finds himself lost as they talk around an issue he doesn't know, and demands an explanation of Akira after.

(He wasn't prepared for the answer to be "Time loops," and it only raises more questions, really.)

Supposed Takuto Maruki fans:

"The 'ideal' ending, where you take Maruki's deal and accept his version of reality, is the is the best ending of P5R."

True Takuto Maruki fans:

"A world where everyone is happy except Dr. Maruki is a world that shouldn't exist! True Ending or bust!!"

Adjustments need to be made. But first: what makes you tick?
