Hmph. If there was an actual party, I know you’d avoid it. [Though there was no malice in his voice – simply stating fact. Shinji wasn’t exactly the social type, and he knew that.
Regardless, Akihiko had every intention of dragging him out for such an event, when it took place. He believed that SEES would succeed at their endeavor. Why else would they fight so hard and risk all of their lives? Because the end goal was worth every bit of their efforts. The Chairman was a smart man, and SEES had Mitsuru’s father and the rest of the Kirijo group backing them up. Everyone was counting on them to win. Failure was not an option.
Akihiko shot a curious look toward his friend, not entirely surprised to hear his answer, but still feeling somewhat disappointed by it. Just because Shinji had returned to SEES didn’t mean he was absolved of guilt. More like the opposite – he only joined again because of Ken. He could never fully recover if he didn’t find a way to forgive himself.]
Still living in the moment, huh? [He lifted a hand and placed it on Shinji’s shoulder, gripping him firmly.] …You’ll move past this too, you know. Don’t throw away your whole future because of what happened before.
