This week has been weird. Everyone's been really awkward. Even when I talk to the store owners, I end up saying stuff I don't mean.

I tried to kill one of my teammates and he ended up saving my life.

[......................]

I... uh...

I didn't think I was going to live after I killed him.

[............ There's a sniff, as if he's going to start crying, and then he clicks off the SFC.]

[There's a long pause before Akihiko speaks, trying to figure out what he can even say to that. He bites his lip a bit, ensuring the SFC is set to voice-only.]

Ken...

[Even though he knew about the first part of Ken's confession (having been the first one aside from Shinji himself to realize it), hearing the boy say it out loud still stings - but it's the latter that makes his heart sink. He swallows, not certain he can find the world for much else.]

I didn't mean to say that.

[Akihiko reads the text, choosing to stick with voice. Part of him wants to switch to texting back but at the same time, he knows he'd be just as stuck for words... And with a confession like that one, he feels that Ken just might need someone right now, even if he isn't likely to say it.]

It's okay... [Even though it isn't.] We've... We've all been saying weird things lately. It's- I...

[What can he say? What can he even do? That kind of weakness makes his stomach twist into a knot, not being able to say or do anything to just make this all better...]

We can't... Change the past.

...Hnnn...

[Oh, Ammy...]

I... didn't mean to say that...

[W-wibblevoice...]

Hnnn!

[Keeeeeen! ):

Ammy starts licking the screen. Because that works, right]

[He wasn't going to say anything, but-]

I know what you mean. Both saying what you don't mean, and-

I almost killed my best friend and there wasn't anything I could do about it.

[........................ fuck his life.]

... You aren't alone.

Still... I was planning it for two years. I was nine when I started thinking about it.

Even though I'm kind of like a superhero sometimes, it's not worth it at all. I wish these things didn't exist, because then my mother would still be alive.

[.........]

I don't know what you mean by 'things', but if you keep on thinking like this... does it really help in moving on?

[He knows it doesn't, because until recently he thought the same way. After a decade of planning an escape to see other worlds... Seems the only difference is he never feels like a hero.]

... You okay there, kid? Stupid question I know, but still. Wanna help out and all, even though I'm kinda useless.

Why did duck crossed the lake? Because I once saw my own friend's negative insecurities come alive and turn into a grotesque image on how she thinks of herself as a freak!

Uh... Right. You didn't, need to hear that.

[... Well. That was odd.]

... Probably not.

It sounds kind of like a Shadow, but more human-like...

Err... probably?

Whatever you call the whole Persona game and demon invasion incident anyhow.

[The sniffing is what gets her. Yukari had already had a bad feeling when the feed started up, and though those feelings were pretty much confirmed as justified, it's the sniffing at the end that really worries her.

It's been a while since she's seen Ken that upset.]

Hey...

do you want some company?

[It's a little bit before he responds.]

Not really. Except actually I do, but I don't want to seem weak or helpless.

[Text doesn't stop this curse, then. Heh, answers that question.]

But you aren't helpless, or weak.

Did you suddenly forget that you're an important part of SEES?

...Ken...

Do you think I could come hang out with you for a little while?

If... you really want, Minato-senpai.

Why did you try to kill him?

... Because he killed my mother.

...Can't argue with a want for revenge. I've been there...

You going to be okay?

Ken-kun ...

*The worry is pretty clear in her voice.* ... It really has been a long week. Maybe we should stay inside and rest a little?

I can make you something warm to drink. I might be a bad cook but I can make drinks okay.

... Maybe that'd be best. Maybe tea or something.

It'll help you calm down. Should I put the kettle on the stove now then?

[Mitsuru slides a note under Ken's door. On it, it reads in her very neat handwriting "You're stronger than most adults I know. Never forget that."]

[... Aw. Mitsuru. He recognizes her handwriting, and just decides to text her back.]

Thanks, Mitsuru-senpai.
