[ He notes the sadness... and then the anger...

... The anger reminds him of Ryuji for a moment, and so it's his turn to give a faintly sad look. Astolfo sitting in the more comfortable position snaps him out of that, although it's in favor of Akira's expression holding a hint of something... uncertain.

In all honesty, he's unsure of just how much to go into. There are a lot of things that aren't his place, alone, to share. ]


Well, the first Goro I met, I encountered while my friends and I were visiting a place that was hosting his interview. He was a pretty popular guy, and a ton of people loved asking his opinions on things. [ a smile, though there's a hint of conflict ] Things were complicated, even back then. We had a few differences in opinions.

[ THAT SURE IS PUTTING IT LIGHTLY... but just vaguely enough that he's able to slide right on into the next part. ]

He'd usually catch me when I was on the way to school, or while I was working at the cafe. That's how we gradually bonded.

[ But, then he's pausing. He's skipping over a lot of details, here. ]

After my team managed to defeat the worst enemy of all time, I wound up... in something called a Reaper's Game. I wasn't even on my planet, anymore. But that's... how I met Kurama.

[ With a quiet, thoughtful sound, he leans forward a bit, gaze shifting to a spot in front of him... It's a little distant. He releases an exhale, looking to Astolfo. His smile is... sad, but his words are definitely genuine. ]

Let's just say I haven't stopped being grateful to have them in my life, ever since we got out of there. And, by managing to help win them back, I learned to count every blessing. And they're two of the biggest that I'll never stop fighting to keep.
