A lot of people aren't used to the kind of things we are.
[ Death, humanity at its best and worst, the suffering that comes with it. A lot of people hadn't lived through something like the Gun Devil - or Devils in general. It's a tough, difficult thing to realise, and Aki is too glad that Denji and Tsurumaru are alright to concern himself too much with the other things.
He's happier here, with Denji, to focus on their time together right now. ]
[ it's true. but, denji is unsure whether that's a flex or something to be concerned about. he understood they had a rough life, but the more he socialized with others, and as the months passed by, he found himself stunned with an odd sense of isolation. most of the outsiders are just so— normal.
it's not something he can change, and denji is content to shrug it off. so long as his loved ones are safe, he has no reason to lose his mind. he nods towards the way out, waiting for aki to join his side as they leave the base. with a smile, he replied. ]
I'm not surprised. That guy probably sampled every flavor available in the market.
[ Or worse, depending on the day, since Denji can often find himself in more moderation. Either way, Aki had concerned himself with finding the best place for ice cream and making sure he had enough time to go with Tsurumaru as well, which was appreciated. They were all struggling in their own ways after the strangeness of what happened in Korea.
Walking together, no hesitation, Aki goes to pat his pockets before he stops. He can leave the cigarettes for now - that's the kind of thing he can worry about later. Just in case Denji asks for one. ]
[ if he wanted to start smoking he wouldn't need to steal one from aki. instead, he'd just buy one from a corner and indulge as much as he wanted. who will stop him? ha. it didn't mean he wouldn't ask for a puff, only because it's funny to watch his friend act all righteous as if denji hadn't lost his innocence ages ago. now that they're outside, mingling with the crowd. they had to pass through the rough parts of the city to get to the restaurant area, and along the way, they could hear the chatter of some civilians about the growing tensions between the two countries due to their failure.
denji didn't seem to care, humming as he considered what else they could do. ]
There's a lot I wanna do. Not suuuure if you're the right guy for it, though.
[ There's a moment where Aki seems particularly petulant about that, as if offended, before he realises the implications and his nose wrinkles a little. The idea of there being other things that Denji might want that Aki has no interest in giving him right now...

Never mind. I don't want to know.
