nothing will ever top akishinji for me but i don’t know i like playing around with them having an awkward kind of thing. i think they could share in grief for a bit. i like akijun but it’s ljke 40% a funny thing and 60% a “hm i mean it would be interesting to see them bond after junpei loses chidori and akihiko loses shinjiro, after all the pretenses that made up their initial dynamic have faded”. but also it’s just funny to me. i want to see them go on study ‘dates’ (studying together because junpei has terrible exam scores and akihiko is a star student) where certified loverboy junpei iori stares at him for half of it
