AKIRA: ...alright, you caught me. I’m pretty sure you can... guess. I don’t try with love, not really. Not when I know that I shouldn’t bother.
AKIRA: ...I gave up at the ninth loop, trying to save... him. I tried in about five separate timelines, before I just... realized... that it’d... a-always start over. That there was no point. His... genuine smile was... really, really nice to see... hahaha, I’d try looking for it again, if I didn’t already know that it’d be useless. There were two timelines, I think, fourth and seventh, where I managed to... help him, in time. But then the loop restarted...
AKIRA: So I don’t try anymore. I’ve lost count of how many loops it’s been since the ninth. Ever since the eleventh my memories have sort of... blended together. Because everything is always the same.
AKIRA: I just hope that nobody else ends up in this void, besides her, of course. She’s... a comforting presence. But... if someone from an alternate timeline somehow shows up here, somehow, some way, oh, god...
