[ if worst comes to worst, Akechi knows he can function in a dictatorship. he's spent his whole life trying to abide by what will make him useful, wanted, necessary. but the difference then was that he had a goal to make it worth it. he'd rather not go through that kind of exhaustion again until there's an end in sight — so, unusually, he finds himself speaking in favour of something he'd expect to leave to the Phantom Thieves and their ilk.
when he speaks, his voice is soft and pleasant, perfectly controlled; his expression is neutral, gentle, and he stands like he's giving a speech at a podium, to a crowd that would judge any misstep. ]
I have to agree with Venus-san. [ deferring his point to the one who originally made it deflects ownership and responsibility. he's used it before, in his time as a detective. ] Leadership is functional in a small group with a clear goal. But anyone vying for control over a situation like this is either convinced they know best, which is sheer arrogance, or they're simply power-hungry.

If people want to take charge of specific projects — for instance, Okumura-san and her hydroponics, or cleaning out the pool — then I think that kind of ambition is admirable. However, these things can be done without titles and hierarchy.
