That part. The part about him behaving differently.
[Akihiko is unsure if he should add this, but decides he might as well do it:]
Back at home, someone I trusted turned out to be a complete scumbag with plans that'd end up causing widespread chaos. [Understatement, really] I didn't trust Jing Yuan nearly as much, but I'm having some...some trouble trying to come to terms that I might have encountered someone twisted like that and never suspected a thing again.
[He'd rather not have to look at people with suspicion and thinking they might be bad people at heart, but yeah, this is gnawing at him]
I want to believe there was a good reason behind everything that happened. That we didn't lose someone like Charlie because Jing Yuan fekt like taking a life for no reason. That's not much to ask, is it?

I don't know if Jing Yuan was any of those things, but what do you want to believe?
