Akashicchi's complicated. [ Understatement. Such an understatement. ] But I know we're different to him. That's why I thought it'd be okay to ask him.
[ He lifts his shoulder in a self-deprecating shrug. What a good idea that'd been, huh? Just because Akashi thinks all the Generation of Miracles are in some way his and treats them accordingly, it doesn't mean that Akashi's going to treat them nicely all the time. He knows that. He knows that Akashi's weird with friendship (and it is friendship, no matter what Akashi says), but still. Just because that's how Akashi always acts, doesn't mean he should act like this. Otonashi's right about that. ]
I just didn't expect him to be so selfish about it, I guess. Anyway, I'm okay. [ It's only partially a lie. He's not the type to let others get him down so much, even if his smile is still a little wan. But he's obviously not really himself, and he definitely wouldn't turn down a visit and a distraction. ] Just talking about it's been helping.
