[ If you weren't such a nasty crime boy, Elliot might be more on your side more often, Akira.
But he does know that they're worried. It's coming from a place of care - real and genuine. But he can't stop? If he stops, and then something goes wrong he'll fail to get everything he needs painted. Realistically, it's doable in a reasonable amount of time but... he can't fail. He has to find and paint the graveyard back into existence.
And that involves finding his home, making sure his mother is fine, finding the graveyard and then painting the entire yard until he pinpoints, permanently, his father's grave.
... It's a lot. But, he's never really spoken about his father to other people. It had just been known for so long that talking about it is strange and uncomfortable. Like spending a day in pinched shoes. ]
I have to find something and keep it found by the 12th. I don't have the time to be resting on my laurels.
[ It's simple, but genuine. He really can't just stop. ]
