[he lets magilou be because he understands this is tough.

instead, akira lets out a bit of a mirthless laugh.]

You'd think. The people in the game didn't agree though—even though a lot of people were just as bad, or worse, I think a lot of people felt exceptionally betrayed by me.

[even if he's not sure why. he still doesn't get why he took more flak than just about anyone. he's still not sure why he was treated like some of the worst of the lot, even after the game had ended and they had a chance to make amends.

maybe that weighs on him more than his actions, because some of the people he wanted to make amends with truly never let him have the chance and kept knocking him down until he hit his limits.]

Except for this weird one. She... was the one person who stuck by me. Even after knowing, she never turned her back on me.

[okay. so some people came around and eventually apologized for their harsh behavior, and a couple of others never truly held it against him.

but magilou was the one who tried to keep him from dying. she tried to keep the attention off him, she didn't even vote for him even though she should have.

he's fond of her, okay.]
