[ Aki still isn't used to this, really - talking to people. His life, before Denji and Power had entered it, had been work, spent time with his coworkers when needed, maybe extra time with Himeno, and then go home. He had a routine, an ease to it, because his singular focus was on the Gun Devil. Since those two joined him in his apartment, however, things have been different.
There was joy and excitement in his life, alongside the frustration and anger. He had a reason to live beyond vengeance: them. Their happiness.
Knowing that he loses it all? It sickens him, and the anger burns inside him like wildfire, as deep as the ocean of his own grief and sadness. ]
I won't. [ If they do end up on a mission, he'll shoot a rocket at the thing like he did last time. Whatever. Another long drink, and then he sighs, rubbing his forehead. ] I know what LILITH wants from us. I don't want to risk getting sent home yet.
[ To die, to abandon Denji, to leave him hurt and suffering and losing everything... ]
