[ they can circle around back towards it!! he just...wants to avoid it. u_u give him a little more time. as such, he welcomes the change of subject as it's a good distraction. ]
Oh, the computer.
[ not a tablet and clearly he has done a little snooping. ]
giyuu will pull out the laptop from his kimono because he just carries things with him sometimes and holds it out towards akira to take. it looks just like your standard black laptop but will rattle if he dares to give it a shake. ]
I had Purple Heart take a look at it. They said it was broken but that perhaps the storage could be still salvaged.
[ he's just repeating what he heard at this point. he hopes this makes sense to akira because giyuu only really understood it on a base level. ]
[hmmm! Akira will go ahead and take the laptop in both hands before he sits down, cross-legged, and opens it up on his lap. does it power on?? he's going to try!!]
If it's broken, then we'll need to remove the hard drive and find a new machine to plug it into.
They said a similar thing as to what you just said.
[ he thinks?
either way it will not power on :( it's dead, akira. they made many mistakes. and he'll shake his head which results him him closing his eyes for a moment—causing him to freeze for a moment—before moving on. ]
But nothing more about the laptop itself. I asked if they could repair it but they said that there would be no easy way for them to as it currently stands.
[ he considers something for a moment. ]
They did mention that it was likely hooked up to a surveillance system.
[ thus explaining all of the monitors and everything else that dimitri likely explained to him...terribly? ]
[. . . Giyuu you okay buddy. . . Akira shoots him a concerned look, before snapping the laptop shut and turning it around to see where the hard drive would be]
You sure you're okay. . .?
[but he doesn't linger on that often before moving on]
And yeah. What Dimitri described sounded like a surveillance system. It also sounded kind of like they were recording something for a television show.
[a beat]
. . . I've repaired a laptop before. I could always try my hand at fixing it myself.
I should be fine if these effects only last until trial.
[ he'll just never sleep or sleep miserably. there are only two options for him in the near future. but as for the laptop— ]
If not for a show, but perhaps for something else. [ his trails off and makes sure to not close his eyes as he quietly thinks about something. ] An experiment?
[ giyuu's knowledge of this sort of thing is limited but it's something someone(s) twisted would do. seeing how they would react at certain things... watching them struggle. ]
[ he'll find out soon enough at trial. everyone will and it will be bad and giyuu will have had spent nearly all of trial taking a nap because sometimes you just don't want to watch people get executed whenever you close your eyes. ]
No one... [ just giyuu doesn't have experience in shows as he does with demons toying with people. ] But does it seem more like a show to you than an experiment?
[ hmmm...he thinks that opens up a bigger concern. ]
Who would be watching this? I think they're testing something, but I don't know what.

No, actually. I wanted to talk to you a little more about that tablet you found.
[presuming it is a tablet. . .?]
no subject
Oh, the computer.
[ not a tablet and clearly he has done a little snooping. ]
What did you want to know?
no subject
[not a tablet!!]
I wanted to know if I could look at it. There might be some important information stored in it.
[unless someone else got to it first]
no subject
[ nope. well. kind of.

[a pause]
[he lifts his gaze to Giyuu, curious]
Did Heart say anything else about it?

[another pause, a moment where it looks like he wants to push out of concern for Giyuu, but. . .]
[he doesn't. if only because he doesn't want to accidentally poke an open wound]
An-- experiment? [a curious noise at that] Who told you it wasn't a show?
no subject

no subject
I don't know.
[Akira admits with a light shrug]
I guess that's a question for the directors. Is someone watching this. . . and if so, who?
no subject
I suppose that is the question we need to find out.
