So you believe it best to keep a man from important work? Would it not be best to use this experience productively rather than resent the unfortunate events?" The questions were rather antagonistic and mostly rhetorical. He didn't wait for very long for an answer either. "He did what he deemed necessary at the time. Have you read the reports on the attack from the Research and Information Divisions?" It might have seemed condescending to some, but Akimoto was legitimately curious. "What is it you needed from me? I'd like to be on my way with my son as soon as possible." He was on the border of threatening with that statement. He didn't do well with mistreating those he cared about. Isao was betraying Akimoto's trust and had done so for an extended period of time. His patience had extinguished. "I have, as a matter of fact. He could've simply knocked them out, either one way or another." It was hard to keep his tone even and devoid of any emotion. However, he could see this wasn't going anywhere. "The Gotei have looked into the manner themselves. These events did not go unnoticed. It was revealed that the Hollow responsible for these deaths drained and manipulated Reiryoku itself in a way the Research Division has yet to decipher. They found some kind of hive of dead and diseased Hollow." Akimoto realized this might have gone ignored. "They suspect your men were doomed to die with the death of the Hollow." "If you believe yourself to be too busy to check on your gravely injured son, or take him back, so be it. Take him and leave but this will not be forgotten by the ones who don't have a father or have buried their children." "And I don't suspect for it to be forgotten. Such a grave catastrophe deserves to be remembered and learned from." Possibly a jab at Isao, himself.
