Ah.

[ There's immediate understanding at Akira's implication because he knows. He knows how Amon is and how he acts and what he often wants. Ryo knows, though not in the same way Akira does. He's witnessed it. He reaches for him, grabs either side of Akira's face and holds it focused on him. ]

Then we'll just have to find a whole new way to control him, even during Sanguis, won't we?

[ He didn't really know how, or if he really could - since he never was able to before, but he liked to thrive on giving Akira a sliver of hope. A way to manage Devilman. He didn't care about the deaths, he honestly thought it would be an interesting way to test Amon's limits. ]

[ He's watching Akira's expression carefully, figuring out hat each and every shift in his face means. He isn't surprised that Akira isn't happy with him. ]

You know why I did this, Akira. I did say we would, Akira.

[ He knows he's responsible, but nothing could make him regret what happened as far as that goes. And, he'll look at this as just another hurdle to overcome. More opportunities to learn about Amon. He moves his hands and takes a step back to look the other over. ]

That means you'll have to show me how it is sometime.
