[Akihiko doesn't seem too sure what to say to most of that, but it doesn't seem like he's unappreciative. It's a very fair way of putting it, and it's something Akihiko tries to keep in mind, because yeah, what could a young kid do in such a situation? Thankfully he's far past the time when he blamed himself about it.

Well isn't that the million question]

It's still a work in progress -- but I'm getting there.

[Mostly because he's got friends who are showing him the way despite the heavy losses he still keeps having. Power of friendship! But also could life give him a break, please? The last four or so months have been hard and also he died]

[ they tilt their head a bit, assessing him again before there's a nod. ]

Wish I could say that kind of journey's easy, but I try not to lie about that kind of thing. Especially in a place called The Confessional. [ dryly. ] And... I don't know. The thing about works in progress is they're always building. I don't know if you ever really finish growing that way.

Does bartending also come with a sidejob of getting philosophical like that, or is that because you're angel?

[He says that, but he's paying full attention, that's for sure, like he's trying to commit that to heart]

[holyspirits]

Not an angel. [ just to clarify. ] But yeah, guess my kind of bartending comes with that fun little bonus. IS that so bad?

[ziosar]

The bad part is that you're in a bar. I'm not supposed to enter bars.

[Hah, as if that'd stop Akihiko for real]

Thanks. You gave some things to think about. I'll come back someday, if you don't mind.

[ they shrug with both hands. ]

I do serve soda, juice and water if that's what you're worried about. But sure, man. I'll be here all... eternity, I guess.
