[Adachi's wish comes true, and Akihiko freefalls from the tree, but... he's pretty graceful about it, and he lands on his feet, crouching on the ground for a little too long. he looks like an action hero, but only if that action hero came from a film with no budget and a director who cared too much about long, dramatic cut scenes where nobody does anything.]
... Thank you. [He rolls his shoulders like he's trying to throw his cape back from his eyes, but then he seems to realize that, shit, his cape's still up in the tree. so he strolls over and puts his fists on his waist, staring up at it.]
I failed as a bounty hunter. A tree stole my cape. A policeman made a fool of me.
[he stares solemnly up at his cape, which flutters in the breeze. like a sad lonely flag. today has not been a good day. this lack of confidence and unappealing future must be how junpei feels every day of his stupid life.]
