"Okay Asakura, what happened last night?"

"My younger self did an unexpected job is what happened, I originally backed off from that gem until later, and I unfortunately didn't have time to get my younger self to back off or be in the area before Snake and thus what happened last night, thanks for not hitting me by the way"

"Oh you're welcome however...IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL SHOOT YOU NO MATTER THAT YOU'RE AN ALLY! I'm serious Asakura, what you did was dangerous and stupid, you knew I was there and had a shot on Snake and yet you decided to get in front of me anyways and take care of him yourself. I get that you know Snake, I do but I'm a sniper for a reason and while you may be extremely hard to kill you yourself have admitted that it's possible what if Snake had managed that last night huh?"

"I'm sorry, I wasn't completely thinking about Furuya's recent death, all I could think about was my younger self being more reckless because of me which almost allowed him to get killed by Snake"

"How is your younger self by the way?"

"He's out of action for a bit but ultimately he'll be fine with time"

"That's good to hear"

"So...I think we may need to work together again at some point, if only for me to actually remember how you work as a sniper because that might have been part of the problem, for some reason I forgot that you were the best the FBI had, your disguise didn't help matters either"

"That makes sense then...are you planning on revealing yourself to the PSB and FBI soon?"

"I might...by the way the whole we're from the future thing is still secret right?"

"Oh yeah, no one can know about that right now if ever, that knowledge is just too dangerous"

"Understood"

"By the way if you see Furuya..."

"That's not going to happen though considering..."

"The Organization is known to send impostors out to check depending on the circumstances, as such if you think you see Furuya don't even think about trailing them to try and find out if it's actually him, try to find out how he survived what Kazami reported"

"How do you know this?"

"Because the Organization sent Furuya out disguised as me a few times in both timelines, Vermouth was also disguised as me a time or two as well now that I think about it"

"I see...I'll keep that in mind then"

"You'd better"

"So...three left huh?"

"Yes, only three of us remember the future and what happened, we must keep ourselves alive at all costs Asakura, that's the only way to defeat the Black Organization once and for all"

"I'll do my best to stay alive then, as should you and Kudo"

"Don't worry, we know what's at stake, we'll keep ourselves alive I promise"

"Okay"

"And for the record Asakura, Snake may be your mission, especially considering what happened in the last timeline but don't forget that Snake is ultimately Black Organization which means Kudo and I have an equal reason to want to catch him, killing yourself isn't going to help our cause"

"What makes you think I want to kill myself?"

"Your reckless stunts over the past few heists to keep your younger counterpart safe"

"I see"

"And just remember my warning, next time you interfere with a shot on an Organization member you're getting hit as well as a reminder of just how dangerous a sniper can be"

"I'll keep that in mind, though you might want to remember that I might not be aware of your presence"

"Oh don't worry I'll make sure that you're aware of my presence before I shoot at you"

"Good to know, see you later then"

"See you later"

And so over the next several months the FBI and PSB start actually working together occasionally to deal with Black Organization issues which actually had Akai working as a sniper for the PSB while there were also FBI snipers on the same mission, that night they were dealing with Curacao and Akai knew that he would have to be the one to deal with the bombs since he had already been told by Kazami that only Furuya had experience in the PSB with disabling bombs, Akai had also decided that it was time to reveal himself to his fellow agents, it was a bit later than the original timeline but other issues had come up including two different Furuya impostors that had both been Black Organization members, however their disguises differed vastly due to just how damaging the bullets had been. It took a bit of work but eventually things ended the way they originally did, just without Furuya, and with Asakura helping instead since KID was sidelined once again due to injuries, but this time it wasn't because of Snake that he got those injuries, no instead the injuries had come from a combination of bad timing in construction work and one of KID's escape methods backfiring at the wrong time, KID saved the workers and a few other civilians but had gotten burned in the process, bad enough that the next note that he had sent said that he would be out of action for a little bit healing from injuries and Asakura had told Kudo and Akai in private that he had sent that note, sedated his younger counterpart and then got his younger self to the hospital where he was still currently undergoing some treatment, mainly physical therapy but also some burn treatment still needed done too
