[Man he doesn't want to get his hopes up, but a part of him can't help but hope his Akechi is out there somewhere.]

No. Especially when it's all a lie. Even if he was able to somehow make my friends human again while they were under his spell. He even offered to make me human again too if I accepted his reality.

[Which while tempting, he had to refuse.]
