[The team will always be there for you. So Ann recalls, but Akira doesn't remember their conversation going that way. Not quite.
For a good, long moment, Akira is quiet. Quiet enough to hear his breaths mingle with Ann's. Quiet enough to hear the steady tempo of her heartbeat. When he finally speaks, his inflection is flat, his voice eerily quiet. Still... the words themselves are weighty for all that they represent. Immensely so.]
You were so afraid of being left alone. When I saw you crying, something came over me. [All those pent up feelings overwhelmed me. From that point on, there was no hiding how he felt. No intention to, and certainly no desire.] "You have me." Those were the words I said to you that day.
I won't allow you to be lonely anymore, Ann. In return... please take good care of me.
