Summary
"So, you built a shrine for me. You also wished for me . . . I cannot understand your motivations at all," said Akechi. "Your excessive goodwill for a man who tried to kill you is something I cannot comprehend." His tone was rough yet deliberate.
"I've been so busy for the last few years that I forgot how it felt to have nothing to do. I realized I was trapped in a paradise of your creation — I suppose it should have been obvious. While you were gone, I wandered around idly while I received worship I didn't earn. It might have felt nice if they were real, but those shadows were created by you. I was created by you."
The cognitive Akechi looked back to Akira, who had forgotten Akechi was cognitive for a long moment. Only a light steam separated them. To Akira's surprise, the cognitive Akechi didn't sound disgusted about being stuck in Akira's palace, even though the real Akechi had been disgusted in Maruki's reality. This Akechi sounded somewhat aggrieved, yet unangry.
Akira Kurusu has a palace, and it's a shrine for Goro Akechi.

Summary
After all, Akechi had been the one to take Akira on obvious dates, but Akira, despite the flirt that he was, did not get the hint.
Akechi's hope was normally non-existent. He had learned long ago that hope only made everything worse, building up his expectations before they collapsed upon him and buried him alive. Carefully laid plans were all that he could rely on.
The obvious reason for his revived existence was pity. But if he was indeed Akira’s wish, then could it be for the same reason why Futaba Sakura brought Wakaba Isshiki back to life? Either way, he would have to distance himself from Akira. If Akira grew too attached to him, then Akira may choose to remain in the distorted reality where his dream had come true. Akechi had underestimated the man's brainless sentimentality.
Akechi's thoughts about Akira throughout the third semester, ending with the helicopter scene in Maruki's palace.
