[ Under different circumstances, this would be just the kind of situation in which Akechi would try to offer some reassurance in the shape of an awkward shoulder squeeze, and his hand even moves over the counter out of instinct, though halts and closes into a fist before it ever has the chance to proceed very far. Definitely not his place. ]
