Summary
Akane's gone missing, and Zenkichi isn't much help in finding her. If anything, he seems evasive to answer the question of her whereabouts at all- and what's the deal with the laughter coming from his hoodie?

Summary
Zenkichi gets close enough to check his fever again and Akira blinks tiredly at him, eyes filled with tears he shamefully wipes away.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay - you’re okay kid,” He soothes, brushing his hand through his sweat soaked bangs.
“Sorry - I don’t know why - “ Akira murmurs brokenly, tears still falling down his cheeks despite his attempts to wipe them away. “I take hits all the time, I’ve been tortured, but God, this hurts so bad -“ He breaks off with a weak cry, curling even tighter into himself.
...
Appendicitis isn't fun, especially stuck in a locked room in Konoe's Jail.

Summary
Zenkichi settles himself against the sink, a comfortable six inches away from Kurusu. “Well, don’t mind me. I’m just going to stand here and drink this water for a while. You do with that what you will.”
He means it as an offer to speak. For some reason he just gets the sense from Kurusu like he won’t take well to a direct question about his wellbeing. Besides, it feels obvious, anyway, and Zenkichi doesn’t have any interest in wasting either of their time. Kurusu might be a kid, but he’s clearly smart, and Zenkichi wouldn’t want to insult his intelligence by pretending not to notice what’s evident.
Kurusu chuckles low, muffled like it comes from the back of his throat. “You should go back to sleep.” He mumbles the suggestion without opening his eyes, head tipping back as he takes another long drink of water. Then he adds, “You need the rest, at your age.”
“At my—!” Zenkichi briefly—briefly!—considers honouring the suggestion out of spite.

While the Phantom Thieves are staying the night at Zenkichi's house, he finds their leader up after hours.

Summary
Zenkichi would be lying if he said he didn't expect the Phantom Thieves to stay out of trouble. Between talking with them, hunting them down, and eventually working with them, Zenkichi came to one simple conclusion. Whenever those kids got together, chaos was soon to follow.
Zenkichi just didn't expect that chaos to come one month after defeating the mass subconscious will of the populace.
