[ Okay, Akira, you're acting stupid... Pull it together.
Honestly, though, he shouldn't be so thrown off by his efforts paying off. It's been over a year since he really started fighting to make a difference in people's lives, and... heh. Yeah, a lot of that was done supernaturally; a lot of it was a matter of changing hearts. But quite a few people were helped in other ways...
Is it because this was one of the more lost causes? Is it because he's directly related to Goro Akechi? Because this is the guy whose cognition shot the Goro Akechi in his own timeline, after having destroyed so many other lives? There are so many reasons to continue hating him, and yet he's been working to let go of that...
Akira holds a blink, taking a deep breath before looking directly at him. He... actually can see that look in his eyes, and... again with the conflict. Now isn't the time for that.
So, he nods. And the next words are meant to be said as a mere statement, and yet there's something more in there - genuine gratitude. ]
