[Here's Sholmes, trying to gingerly walk through a field of shards. This is. Probably going to end up in disaster. His daemon, Irene, in hare form on his shoulder, looks...anxious.]
Oh, don't mind me. [He's waving!] I can't say why there's so many here!
[ Nagako is padding carefully behind him because Akira has kind of learned having a daemon who slithers on the ground when there's a million glass shards on it is bad for surprisingly not obvious reasons. ]
It's like someone fucking threw out an entire store of mirrors. [ He chooses to see how Sholmes is going to navigate the field first and follow in his footsteps where surely nothing can go wrong. ]
[ Akira's seen a lot this week, but this may be the first time he's seen a memory like this. It's an entirely new experience for him and it catches him off-guard, the warm emotions mixed with sadness and ah, the baby. ]
...sorry. [ He looks off himself into the distance, Nagako coming closer to sit right by him. ]
I didn't know you two were like that. [ He doesn't address the other person, the other man, because that might just hit a little too close to home. ]

SLAPS BACK INTO HERE SORRY FOR THE WAIT
[A trap.]
[He steps on a shard, and a series of memories plays.]
[He stands, distant.]

[He just closes his eyes for a moment, and then huffs, shaking his head - as if he's shaking off a cloud of smog.]
It's quite alright. The past is the past. I still stay in touch, but...
[Well. Things aren't like they were before.]

This is the part where someone says: people grow apart, right?
no subject
[He hangs his head.]
I didn't want us to grow apart, and we haven't, not really. But sometimes circumstances work outside our control, as they oft want to do.

[ Glances off to the side. ]
Go see him when you get back.
no subject
[A bit of a strained smile?]
We just did, my dear fellow, for the first time in ten years! He's already returned back to his home in Japan.

[ This is aggressive but. Sometimes you have feelings and thoughts and this is how they choose to make themselves known. ]
no subject
[He just can't.]
He has his own daughter to look after, and...it isn't as simple as you make it out to be.
no subject
Sorry. [ He looks away briefly. ] I just think after all of this, everyone should do whatever the hell they want.
no subject
[A pause.]
What do you want to do? After all of this.

Who is Ami?
no subject
Someone important. And yeah, after all the crap I've been to I really don't want to do anything that'll make me think.
