Waiting an entire week defeats the point, Carbide-san. These are meant to be applied daily, after all.
[It's a toner! How nice. But Ash leans over and Akechi shifts, causing them to brush against each other. Immediately, they will no longer find themselves in there here and now — and a memory begins to play.
Out of the five teens, Ash will find one of them very familiar. Akechi converses with the group, polite while still gently pressuring them for information. The memory ends after he walks away.]
[ Ash has no idea what a toner is! Amazing! But hey, while Ash is seeing Akechi make terrible grandpa jokes and lowkey threaten other teenagers, Akechi will see... well...
There's fear, and pain and confusion that lasts for a good few minutes as awareness slowly filters back into Ash's mind. There's panic too, slowly creeping up from his stomach, and it's overwhelming, making it hard to breathe.
There's a smell as well - smokey, and ashy. Like something's been burning. A lot of things have been burning. It's overwhelming, a mix of burnt wood and -- something else. Sweet, like decay and overwhelming like burnt... something else. Ash starts to scrabble to his feet, through broken wood and shattered pieces of what was once a home. From the first person point of view Akechi's seeing, Ash's hands look much smaller than they are normally. They're child's hands, not the older ones he has now.
Wherever Ash was had been beautiful ones. Surrounded by trees, and beautiful views of nature. Small and quaint stone buildings, in an equally small and quaint village. Or... it was, at some point.
[ASH?????? He definitely looks like he wants to ask more, staring at him like he's half tempted to shake him down — before he huffs, eyebrows furrowed in an obvious concern.]
... Fine. [Don't mind him as he reaches over and grabs a bottle of... something, holding it out to him.] Take this.

What the actual fuck.
The memories end, and Akechi recoils, looking at him in shock... maybe even horror. He opens his mouth, but all he really says is a very horrified—]
That was...
[Yikes. Yikes, yikes, yikes.]

Better apply it liberally then, huh? Law enforcement's a tough career.
