...it's not like I'm trying to be ungrateful. It just is a ittle hard to take it when I'm all antsy right now.
[Akihiko is quiet for a moment, and shrugs]

[Although he has faced a whole lot of things, none of them has been like this. It's all a little too fresh, and pretty painful, really. As much as he hates he's not behaving all that reasonably right now towards Elysia, it's hard to cope with]
You shouldn't have to be used to something like this. Just take it a step at a time. Moving forward without forgetting yourself is key, but it's not like you have to constantly be moving.
[There aren't that many people in Akihiko's life he can say are role models or people who try to give some form of guidance or advice -- or at least people older than him. Elysia taking the time right now is...it's novel, in a way]
You remind me of someone I know, but less forceful.
[Well, no, truthfully there aren't that many similarities between Elysia and Mitsuru, but the willingness to try to give reasonable advice reminds him of her. It's a little bit sad that the people he can think as 'helpful rolemodels' are limited to one (1) peer of his same age. He's distant with his parents and the chairman of S.E.E.S was not a shining beacon of wisdom, precisely]
