Akiva is like uh, since when is smooching someone you're not in love with just as bad as [checks notes] serial murder...

Azrael is frozen as if in shock, tears slipping down his cheeks. AZRAEL: "Neither of us ever actually loved each other. We were both just lonely. I am just as bad as he is." Akiva raises an eyebrow. AKIVA: "Uh...You're really not, though." Azrael covers his mouth, still crying. AZRAEL: "Why am I crying again? So pathetic. I haven't changed at all. I shouldn't be making you listen to this, it's awful." Akiva leans forward to give Azrael a gentle pat pat on the head as if consoling a puppy. AKIVA: "Dude, it's okay. I asked to hear about this. And talking through your pain can help it go away." Azrael looks away, frowning. AZRAEL: "Well, HE hasn't gone away. He wants nothing more than to destroy me. All the pain he has wrought is so he can do that. All of his pactees, your poor brother... all to get to me. And all I have done is hide. I have no clue how to make him stop."
