Of course, the first thing he caught a glimpse of was the music box that he’d given her on Christmas.
”I think I'll give you something new to put in it every year...”
Unseen to Yukari, Akihiko curled his hand into a fist at that sight. He felt like slamming it into the wall – which wouldn’t be the first time since Minako had passed away. But just by reading Yukari’s body language, he could tell she didn’t feel comfortable doing this in the first place. He had to keep his cool. He just… couldn’t work up enough energy to smile at her in reassurance.
What reason was there to smile anyway, when his heart had been buried with his beloved?
“...Hmm.” Akihiko slanted her a brisk nod in affirmation. “I’ll hold onto it.”
He didn’t want them to throw it away. Shinji’s room was left untouched after his death, after all, and Akihiko had planned to retrieve this belongings at graduation… well, now.
