happy pride and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AKECHI !!!

Refusing to meet his eyes, shaky voice, defeated facial expression, balled-up fists, bowed head... "You're willing to go that far for me? You're even willing to trap me here against my will? Why is your love so terrifying?"

futaba and haru lived their lives with their loved ones until their time came, and had months and years' worth of time to accept and process their losses, but not akira.. he thinks he and akechi have simply reunited again, not that he's a fake brought back to make him happy.

akira still clings onto hope he lives because his death was uncertain, because there's still a life he daydreamed of having with him he never got to live out, because the many sleepless nights grieving him suddenly resolved themselves and gave him hope, because he's just so close to figuring out who akechi truly is without an act and reaching his heart. he will unknowingly keep akechi trapped in the realm of the living for as long as he wants to have one more day with him, and for as long as the metaverse will be there to grant it.
