Restarting an unjust game. @askingakira - Tumblr Blog

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...

AKIRA: ...it was mostly terrifying, though. Seeing the exact same faces, doing the exact same things. Honestly, in my confusion, I made a lot of mistakes.

AKIRA: And it was then how I realized that no matter how many mistakes I made, it’d always end the same. I could always go back, the loop restarted... Do it all again, over and over. I’ve...

AKIRA: I’ve died, a lot. Tens. Hundreds. Lost count awhile back. And no, none of the other Thieves seem to notice. I’ve become a pretty good actor.

AKIRA: I stopped trying to change things after... I think the ninth loop? I gave up. I don’t know if the loop will ever end, or if my life will ever continue past that year. But it’s been awhile. So...

So what are you doing right now? (Also I love your art ahhh)

AKIRA: Being generally tired, waiting around for her signal. I don’t know, wondering why I got stuck in a time loop and why I still can’t figure out how to change anything despite wanting to.

AKIRA: Hm.

AKIRA: No. I haven’t met Yu and Minato, but she tells me about past users of the Velvet Room.

AKIRA: And... I... the timeloop is just the events since coming to Tokyo-- one year, over and over... and over... I... hahaha...

How did you feel about Ryuji when you two first met?

AKIRA: He’s perhaps one of the bravest people that I know, to the point of stupidity, actually. When we first met, especially because of the circumstances, I was stunned by how quickly he’d go to sacrifice his life for the sake of others.

AKIRA: I’m glad that I met him; he’s certainly one of a kind.

If you get to re-do everything, could that mean you also have some advantages? I mean, at least you'll know things like all your exam answers....

AKIRA: How many times have I taken that exam… ahahaha…

AKIRA: –I get to keep Personas and the yen I’ve gathered as well, which is convenient. Although it… does, hurt a little to see familiar faces. Ah, but nevermind that.
