[As far as unspoken confessions go, that's a pretty powerful one.
Not so much Ryuji's part in it - the fact that he was stupid enough to assume his career in sports would take off to such a degree that he dropped all pretense of schooling is the most idiotic thing Akechi's ever heard. To cast off hard work simply because of a whisper of skill? Somehow, Ryuji just keeps looking worse and worse in his eyes.
But to hear point blank that Kamoshida broke his leg? That's something new he never knew. Naturally, Akechi kept up with the news. Even before the Phantom Thieves started their crusade of 'justice', he saw the articles and interviews with that man. Heard about the revolting things he did to his students. About the girl who tried to kill herself because of him.
How the rest of the Thieves didn't want Kamoshida dead still makes no sense to him. If it had been his classmates, if he'd seen such a disgusting abuse of power over children by an adult, he never would have stood for it.
And now knowing he was the one who gutted Ryuji's dreams? It makes even less since why the man is still alive today.]
Hm. [Is all Akechi says for a few long, uncomfortable moments, leaving Ryuji hanging, before he finally speaks up again.]

Don't look at me. I'm not the one judging this.
