[Akihiko lets out a good, long sigh at that. And tries not to press his head into one of the shelves out of frustration. The bastards really DON'T ever learn.
Though... There's one thing he can take heart in. It sounds like 'apathy syndrome' was referred to as past tense. So maybe that means they somehow-
That thought gets cut off in favor of something a lot more pressing.]
"'Persona'... Means just about everything to me right now. I know that it can drive people to do either great things. Or be a complete pain in the ass."
[Odd how he could be referring to Shinji OR Strega with that comment. He's doing his best not to tense up right now. Certainly not to go for his Evoker; this stranger hasn't picked a fight with him just yet. And it feels weird to throw a punch right after Akihiko has offered him snacks.]
"I'm going to take another wild guess and say you can use that power, too?"
[These odds are too crazy right now.
But then again, how is anything about this normal?]
