Akame: Good day, Lord Avatar…
Avatar: Akame…I see that in spite of what's happened you're still showing up to shadow me.
Akame: …I cannot ignore my orders, Sir. Even though it will break both of our hearts in the end.
Avatar: Akame, please tell me why we can't be friends? Aren't we already comrades? You said it yourself?
Akame: You misunderstand me, Lord Avatar. I am your comrade, just as I am Tatsumi's comrade, and Sheele's comrade, and everyone else's comrade. But when the war is over…you cannot count on me to be a friend to help you escape from your loneliness.
Avatar: Why, Akame? Why do you say this?
Akame: …
Avatar: Akame…I don't normally pull rank, but as your future Emperor, I order you to tell me. If not because I am going to become Emperor, then tell me because we are friends right now.
Akame: My Lord, we are assassins, but you are a royal. One day, you will go to the capital the conquering hero who will free the people from the corruption of the empire. And we will be the shadows who helped make it happen. You will be the people's hero…but the people will never except murderers as heroes. That is why after this revolution. The surviving members of Night Raid will disappear.
Avatar: Wh-what?
Akame: That is why you cannot count on me. I can't be your friend beyond this war, Lord Avatar. I will only break your heart when I have to leave you like everyone else in Night Raid.
Avatar: …I see…
Akame: Do you understand now, Lord Avatar?
Avatar: I do understand…but I will not accept it.
Akame: My Lord, please don't make this difficult!
Avatar: No! Why should you all have to disappear? Even if you are killers…I know you all, you're still good people. I'll be damned before I let the real heroes of this revolution disappear.
Akame: Lord Avatar, please don't be so naive. The people will…
Avatar: The people already don't trust the government, Akame, why do you think we exist in the first place? They don't need just another government they need heroes, and no man is a hero all on his own. He surrounds himself with like-minded heroes.
Akame: …
Avatar: And that's why…I'll never let any of you just go into the shadows like that. Once we win this…I will shed light on all of you and what you've done. Every last one of you will be named a hero. Even if you died along the way…I will still keep that promise!
Akame: My Lord…you shouldn't make such a promise.
Avatar: I will though. The people should know who their heroes are. This whole situation happened because the government kept doing such awful things in the dark. We can't make that same mistake.
Akame: …Do you truly desire my company that much, Lord Avatar?
Avatar: Of course, if you had to vanish like that, I would be sad, Akame.
Akame: Lord Avatar…
Avatar: Akame, allow me to pull rank just one more time. As future emperor of this country that desperately needs a reset…I order you to remain by my side as my personal retainer for as long as we live.
Akame: My Lord!
Avatar: Akame, you may not want to admit it, but we are friends. And I would be an awful friend if I just let you vanish into a life of solitude. I don't wanna be alone anymore, Akame, and I don't want you to be alone either, because I know what that hellish solitude is like. So please…be my retainer…be my friend.
Akame (sad): *sniffle*
Avatar: Akame…
Akame: I think I can take comfort…knowing that the man who will become emperor has such a kind heart.
Avatar: Akame…please answer my request.
Akame: My answer is yes. The general may not approve, but…you have somehow convinced me that I have a future in the light instead of the darkness.
Avatar (smiles): That truly makes me happy, Akame
Akame (smile): My liege…my friend, I swear to stay by your side and protect you as both your retainer and your friend for as long as I may live. You will live a full life, leading this country out of the dark and into the life. This I swear to you.
Avatar: Thank you…my friend…
