[ For being so out of it, he's awfully quick to snatch the glass of water out of her hands, though he's not coordinated enough to keep from spilling it just a little bit. Logically, he knows that it's not actually going to help him. He shouldn't be able to recover from what happened to him. But his throat feels so dry, and his insides feel sickly hot. Akechi takes a big gulp - too big, apparently, as he's quick to start coughing as soon as he swallows.
It does make him feel better. A little. At the very least, the cold seems to penetrate the fog of his mind somewhat. Immediately, he can tell that there's an enormous headache waiting to come on behind it, but even that is preferable to feeling like a ghost trying desperately to cling to his own body.
He takes a few more swallows, his labored breathing slowly becoming a little bit easier. When he lowers the cup, he doesn't speak to Makoto; he stares at the floor, pointedly, and chews his bottom lip. What is there to say now? She knows everything. He's fucked up in his life more times than he can count, but this is the worst one by far. It's a miracle he's even alive. (Considering what he's done, he might not be for much longer, but he knows better than anyone what getting shot in the Metaverse should do to a person.) ]
