Josei - "Of course not... The first time I met her I was repulsed by her, I didn't want anything to do with her... which is what caused her to destroy that engine. Then when she came to she was mean and agitated... Then I finally got to talking to her and she was fine.... Then she died... because of me. I thought I wouldn't see her again, so when I did... I was overjoyed to see her, and she was the same cheerful girl that was there before she died. Now its like the same events are unfolding again, except this time its just... so sudden. If she doesn't want anything to do with me... then I can't really change her mind on that. I want her to be happy, I value her happiness over mine. Maybe I should just cut my losses and let her go, she doesn't need to be protected or anything... that's probably why she's so annoyed with me, because I'm overbearing on her because I don't want to lose her again... at least, I think that's the case. I want her to be happy, and if that means I'm single again, so be it."
Josei looked down. He obviously still held feelings for Akai, but despite his hearts wishes said he was okay with whatever she chooses to do.
