Everyone says that he's not missing anything. He's just on a vacation without his own consent and he should stop worrying about it but- how do they know that? Igor could be lying to all of them so that none of them panic. "..." he hums though he doesn't sound too convinced. Honestly, Futaba herself doesn't look like she's happy about the arrangements either. As much as it did dishearten him, it was better than lying to him outright.

If the past is anything to go off of, he'll probably show up here in the future.

Akira's eyes widen behind his glasses as he looks at her like she was the one who shot herself in front of him. Would he...want that? Would he want to be with Goro- after everything that had happened. After all the times he failed him? "D-Don't."

"Don't give me that hope, please. He's- he could come from any timeline. If he knows what I did in them he would-"

He presses the back of his hand to his mouth before cupping the sight of his cheek. Shut up. Shut up. He doesn't need this right now. Not in front of her (she's seen enough of it). Not in front of Igor who's simply going to grin and pretend like he gives a shit. "Oh wow- look at me ramble like that-! I just need to sleep it off really then we need to demolish a building."
