week one ♡ saturday ♡ nino

[it's not like any of them are really doing okay after all of that.

akira's probably the worst off of them all, all things considered. losing haru yesterday, the mess of a trial—akira, who is normally unflappable, lost his composure more than once.

it's not like him at all.

and he knows it, of course. so once all is said and done, and he's more than aware of it. things are only going to get worse, and he needs to get his head on straight so he can do what he's supposed to—support other people in need. he's gotten far too much attention from others.

the first step to that, of course, is to clear his head.

so it's to the beach he goes. maybe it should be expected that others would mill about at a time like this, but he doesn't expect to see someone else doing the same—but akira recognizes that fluff of green hair and petite figure.]

...Nino?

week one ♡ saturday ♡ magilou

[once he's cleared his head at least a little—it's probably time to head back to the huts. maybe sleep it off and try to feel more human instead of whatever it is he's been.

emotional. hurting. angry. generally frustrated. guilty about yato.

a lot of things.

the people in the longhouse probably saw more anger from akira than the entirety of the phantom thieves collectively between april and sending the calling card in december. so much of what he kept buried for the sake of everyone else, so much of what had been akira kept level by his team had slipped away.

his center of gravity is definitely off.

but a protag is a protag, and a persona protag is even more of a protag—so when he sees magilou shuffling off into the jungle on his way back? he has to follow. what the hell is she getting up to right now?]
