That feeling when you're attempting to sleep and you realize how Akechi could use the chant to pretty much punch the Thieves' post-Casino plan into the sun.

Also yeah I had to up the rating.

SPOILER WARNING FOR POST-CASINO FALLOUT AND THE BAD ENDING I GUESS.

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO NOVEMBER AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, TURN BACK NOW.

In one swift movement, Goro Akechi disarmed the guard, shot him, and turned to face his captive. The Phantom Thief - whose real name is Akira Kurusu - a mere teenager with code name 'Joker,' stared at Akechi in shock. It's likely the fool is still under the influence of the serum and merely believes he's still hallucinating.

Akechi smirked. It's all going to plan.

He was about to lord his victory when an idea came to him. What if the Phantom Thieves had taken capture into account and had a back up plan? How could he counter - oh yes.

"Akira Kurusu no escaping," he approached the table. The prisoner looked up, confused.

"Akira Kurusu no escaping," he raised the gun to be level with the target's head. Victory is within his grasp.

Akira Kurusu sat up straight and glared back at his killer. He will not beg for his life.

"Akira Kurusu no escaping," Akechi pulled the trigger.

Akira Kurusu, code named Joker, fell forward and blood splattered across the table the moment his head landed. He's dead.

Akechi removed the silencer off the gun and placed the gun in the corpse's hand.

He left the room, victorious.

OMAKE

The room flickered. The guard's corpse faded away.

Akira sat in the chair, smirking.

"Goro Akechi no winning."

A minute passed.

"God, I can't believe I did that. What a stupid meme."

The door opened. Sae Niijima steps back into room, approaches the teen, and holds out a hand.

"Come with me if you want to live."

...Did he hear that right?

The drugs. It must be the drugs still in his system. Yeah, he must be imagining this.

Well, at least he still won the game.

RIP Akira's dignity
