Soooo how's everyone feeling?

[THIS MESSAGE HAS A PURPOSE HE SWEARS]

Serious question, by the way. I talked to Astoria as soon as we got back, and she was pretty worried about the way I. . . felt to her?

[GOD PUTTING IT THAT WAY SOUND WEIRD]

She said that I brought something back with me from Struxta. Something dark, evil, heavy. . . wrong? I don't know about you guys but absolutely none of that is confidence inspiring. Wonder why.

[AHA]

She also told me that the wilting plants around the temple aren't normal. "Everything here seems to be just here. Present, alive, blooming," is what she said, word for word. She's never seen anything here die before.

[. . .]

I don't really know what she's talking about, especially because I feel just fine. I don't think she does yet either, though I imagine she's going to investigate. Just be careful, all right? And if you notice anything off about yourself, let me or someone else know.






Because if we all came back possessed by space demons or infected by robot tuberculosis I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

[a definitely real thing. Sojiro had said as much himself. and as Akira was walking out the cafe door for the very last time. . . he could have sworn he heard a muffled sniffle from his guardian]

[but nevertheless, Akira isn't used to asking people for favors when he isn't actively providing them something in return. that's just the way he was-- the kind of guy who didn't expect too much from others, because expecting things always meant disappointment]

Pretty sure it was a real thing. He didn't rat me out when he found out I was a Phantom Thief, after all.

[his response is deceptively light]
