I'm going to be honest, I sort of expected something like this from him, but I still let out a shocked, "You ASS," when he said it. #P5X #akechigoro
![A screenshot of a Google Docs document. It is a summary of afterreign’s story “always,” which reads the following:
goro […] leans against the staircase railing with a leg deliberately crossed over the other. the neon purple and blue lights illuminate the wear and tear of his easter bunny costume, his red bow skewed and the stitching loose around his knees. what should be a handy dandy flashlight goro taps innocently against his shoulder is instead a large butcher knife plucked straight from the kitchens that yusukitsune, akicat's bugged out buddy, is no doubt roaming.
akicat doesn't flinch, and that's not just because he's being brave for shinya, who snuck into and is now stuck in the pizzaplex until the doors open in the morning, as an animatronic, akicat isn't programmed to feel fear, not like humans do. yet he is programmed to worry, and that's something he feels too easily-for shinya, who akicat has tucked safely into the snug enclosure of his chest cavity, and for goro, who doesn't seem to be all himself right now.
