[While Akira is quiet, Akechi doesn't push him to talk more, nor does he try to fill the silence like he usually might. He doesn't really mind it too much.
At his question, he tilts his head. He remembers saying that. Unfortunately, at the time, he really did think it was all temporary. If he had known better, he would have been more careful with his words. He knows he can't get away with saying he only meant guiding him, either. It still leaves a gap for Akira between the person who betrayed them and the person sitting next to him. Even Akechi would have a difficult time putting into words what has been happening with his emotions.
He sighs.]
You wouldn't believe me if I told you the answer. [Not accusatory but simply a fact. He doesn't blame Akira for it at all.] It was... a very long day.
[That somehow sounds like an understatement, even without knowing everything.]
