[For a moment, he's quiet as he watches her, letting the words wash over him even as chilling as they are. Your corpse, she had said.
He's a little disturbed. Most people, he thinks, probably would be, and probably a lot more than him for that matter. There's nothing easy about being told he's going to die, even if how it's happening is strange in and of itself.
But still...
Akira looks at the way she holds herself. The sureness in her voice, and the set of her expression. Wholeheartedly, Minazuki thinks he's going to die, and she doesn't issue it like a threat. She says it like a warning. Like she's telling the truth, trying to help him.
An old, sad feeling twists in his gut. Akira knows better than anyone what it feels like when no one will believe you, no matter how earnestly you speak or how desperately you hope. So, even if it sounds too bizarre to be true-]

[There's so many questions burning through him - what exactly does she see, how does she do it, does she know how long he has - but it seems wisest to ask that one. Even if the answer to it is "yes" and he's doomed to fail, Akira still knows he'll fight against that fate to the bitter end... But he should still know what he's dealing with.]
