Update

* It's been about a year for Akira when he returns to the Mall.

* Akira's spent as much time as he can on Earth between missions, as he's done his job well enough to be trusted.

* Most of the time on Earth that he spends is away from people. He can keep up the appearance of relative normalcy, but it's starting to get difficult.

* His sense of humor has taken a definite lean towards the macabre and he has no problem with speaking plainly about death.

* He and Mot have grown more comfortable with each other, and a good amount of the time (especially when Akira is around death-associated things) Mot is there pretty strongly, looking out of Akira's eyes.

* Unless specified, his cloak is under an illusion to look white and pure - it doesn't take much energy for him to maintain it. In actuality it's rather heavily bloodstained - and not his own blood.

* Anyone with any sort of death-sense is free to be pinged by him in general or Mot in particular.
