Our mysterious #FFFFFF has posted more quests for us. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
[ 'sup akechi it's your buddy ryo. ]

[ HELLo, buddy. You sure don't beat around the bush, huh? Akechi likes that. ]
The first three quests seem like simple tests of courage or wits to prove our worth, and their correlation to their respective color requirements seem fairly straightforward: yellow for golden, and red for the blood of a hunt.
The final quest, however, is the one that truly caught my attention. We have restored enough of this town in the past week, but I'm under the impression this isn't about the old books some people seem to have found. In this case, I believe "restoring the written word" means sharing stories of our own.

[ And Ryo likes that Akechi is someone around his own age he might actually have a stimulating conversation with. The problem with being a teenage genius is that your peers tend to be normal teenagers, and normal teenagers are stupid and prone to doing stupid things. ]
That's the one that caught my attention as well. I think your interpretion is right (and it looks like people on the forum have similar ideas) but the quest is vaguely worded and can be interpreted in a number of ways. "Understand the worth of a story" - do they want us to tell stories we think are worth telling, or do they want the audience to decipher and understand the meaning of the story?

[Because... poor Akechi...
Let's also assume Minato got his hexcode from somewhere, because that's easier in general.]
This is Akechi-san, right? It's Minato--I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. Did you get out of the forest okay...?

[ Yes. Very unlike these two brilliant teenagers and their inclination for shooting people, that is not stupid at all. ]
They are both valid possibilities. However, there's also one other I have been considering: "worth" is a subjective matter, so perhaps that means these stories must hold a level of importance to the people sharing them. Formative childhood memories, personal secrets or even their ambitions and dreams... These are all very meaningful. And possibly filed under important information to be used against us, if the latest furniture incident is anything to go by.

[ IT'S FINE HE IS FINE NOW. But this reply will be a few days late because what is using a computer when you're dead inside??
Also what is this... Why is this guy who barely knows him checking up on him... Persona protags why are you like this... ]
Ah, Arisato-kun. I appreciate your checking in on me. Thank you.
There was a small incident, but it is in the past now. And I was unharmed, either way, so it's fine.

[ WELL...... ]
It was... an inconvenience. But more than lament my own well being, I feel disappointed in myself for having failed my teammates and caused them to worry.

[ People who care about him... Hah, guess he won't be worrying anyone, then. ]
You are correct, of course. I do worry about myself, but it is true I was unharmed. Not even a single scratch.
[ Just, you know, had all color drained and basically his soul literally sucked out of him. But it's f i n e. ]
And perhaps you are correct about that much, as well. But I can't help feeling like I held them back. I was only a burden.

I'm well aware. Thank you for your kind words, however. I will try to commit them to heart.
[ Ah, but actually-- ]
There is one thing I wanted to ask you, though. Are you friends with Mochizuki-kun?
[ Ah, but actually-- ]

Yes. It was only myself, Mochizuki-kun and Guren-san for a while. Until we ran into this archway.
[ Hmm. How should he word this... ]
We had to battle these shadows. They were demons, according to Guren-san. But considering you are friends, I assume he has told you about it already?

[ ... ah. ]
Mochizuki-kun didn't fall for it, though. He was hesitant, and he tried his best not to hurt the replica, but in the end, he did what was necessary. That is certainly not weakness.
[ What he's leaving implied here is that Akechi, on the other hand, did fall. He was weak. ]

It's not about comparisons. Even without taking the others into account, my personal shortcomings are fairly evident. There is simply no arguing with facts.

[It was rough, seeing Akechi grey and emotionless, as if whatever had taken the color from this town had gotten to him, too. (That's a thought for later.) The last time Izuku had stopped by to check on in, he'd been about the same as before. Today, though, Izuku's greeted by an Akechi whose color has been restored on the way to his house, and immediately, Izuku quickens his steps to catch up to him.]
Akechi-kun! [He really shouldn't get his hopes up when they have no idea how anything really works in this place, but he can't help it.]

Ah--?
[ It has been a few days since Akechi went on that forest expedition, and just as long since he last left the house, so he wasn't exactly expecting to be approached so soon, but it seems fate isn't about to give him time to process everything in his own terms. ]
You're-- [ A brief pause and he squints, trying to associate a name to this face. ] --Midoriya-kun, correct?

[ "Someone precious" might just be the reason why Minato doesn't get it. That guy isn't precious to him. That guy is his enemy. Just someone to be eliminated, really.
And that's why it bothers him so much, that he had been so weak. ]
There were signs, enough to clue me in on the demon's true identity. But I didn't catch them in time. For a detective, that is shameful, at the very least.
[ But hey, at least he has a handy excuse. ]

Not at all. Go ahead.
[ But whether he will answer truthfully or not, well. ]
