I believe in Strohl's ability to fuck him up even though nobody else does!! Trust in the Process. And the convoluted plan making. I don't think he's particularly secretive about his upcoming fight so it's all up to how Kazuya would end up popping up in their conversations. We'll see!

AND YES THEY SHOULD. Maybe they could even take a breather somewhere and complain about how the sucking up is necessary just because they both want more intel.

Strohl can also be his text-mate while they're both dying from the secret keeping disease c: They would totally not try to overanalyze this c: Does Akechi-kun want to see his cute emoji collection -
