following his instructions, she gave up and sat on the couch. definitely not her favorite spot, but the lounge was empty besides the two oldest students, and she could use a bit more of rest - vigilant one, not much for her status, but the girl didn’t mind much. soon, she would have had to leave anyway. she drafted a shadow of a smile, a bitter one, at his questions. impulsive, but considerate. it was nice to know she could count on him, that Akihiko was also able to see more one’s look, look beyond and, in this case, detect something was off. all his Persona’s merits or perhaps– ?
« Something of that kind. Or a mix of that, and just thought – you know well
what kind of person I am, you shouldn’t even be surprised. Let’s say nightmares,
though, shall we ? Just nightmares. »
– for the Full Moon? oh, who knew ? many, many things were keeping her away from good nights of rest. the family, the Kirijo Group, her school path… yet, her voice had remained as plain and calm as ever, yet not emotionless. but mind ran wilder, faster than words - and eyes. on the other hand, his stillness too was quite suspicious, he was such the active kind of boy. now sitting side by side, she gave him another look before stretching her arms over her head, in silence, waking her limbs up the best she could.
« Your turn now ! You really don’t look like your usual self, Akihiko. »
He listens intently, and while her answer doesn’t please him, he knows much better than to fight her on this - her privacy has always been deeply important to her, and so he nods, accepts her explanation, thought it now means he has to provide his own explanation for his frankly shoddy behavior of the morning. He grimaces slightly as the conversation turns to him.
“I honestly don’t feel like myself much either.” He says at last, tapping a finger against his knee. “The further we get through the Full Moon, the more restless Polydeuces seems.It’’s approach the point that I’m waking up restless.” Not a complete lie, but not entirely the truth either. He knew better than to craft an all-out lie to Mitsuru’s face where she could easily detect it.
“If it persists, I’ll have to ask our Leader for a few days off to try and rest properly.” He allows frustration to leak into his voice. He is frustrated, but what he needs is more than just a few nights off. He needs, desperately, to hurt something, someone beyond repair. And he doesn’t want to do that to his allies.
