Yes. You've been marked as her "master," and that gives you a certain amount of power. If not hitting the emergency breaks, then you could think of it like yanking on a dog's leash.
[ Dazai drums his fingers on the table. He can imagine why Akira was chosen, just as he can understand why he himself was tasked with ensuring a favorable outcome.
The thought that the slightest misstep could lead to his own death, too, makes his heart beat a little faster. He's terrifying both for his intellect and his ability, but he's frail; beyond salvation if mortally wounded. It could kill him.
He can't allow it, not yet, but it's a nice idea.
He doesn't feel anything in particular when it comes to the idea of killing the AI, his friend, nor searching for a way to dispose of her in just the right way that she can neither die nor revive.
Some things are better left unsaid. ]
... But, this is only after we've exhausted all other options. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I believe that we can stop it from coming to that.
[Maybe it's a cold assessment, and maybe Akira is cold for simply nodding, but it does the trick of illustrating what the mark does. More than anything, it's a relief to know that he has such a powerful preventative measure.
But it still may not be enough. He's used to certain victories failing terribly after the last hour, so it makes total sense to him to prepare for anything.]
I believe we can, too.
[They have the means to counter the biggest opposition they have, so that's where Akira must put all of his focus.]
What's our best method for strengthening her code?
[It seems like an uphill battle, with no technology here but the flip phones and maybe anything they manage to wish for, but...
Dazai believes there's a way, and Akira trusts him. They can work through this.]
