Aoi didn't wait for Duster's answer. He had two trainwreck sisters to deal with. A brother's work was never done. He jabbed a finger at the Calamity-Akane.
"You shut up for a minute and see if you can't figure out why that's some fucked-up logic. You've got Akane's brain. You're supposed to be smart."
He turned to the real version. "And will you stop actin' like you're a special snowflake? So you don't got your ESPer powers. You can fuckin' choose your own magic here. You own a goddamn mech. You are NOT helpless."
He stood up, stretched his arms over his head until his shoulder joints popped. Then he stalked toward the real Akane. "And yeah, you're selfish. Everybody is. Every. Goddamn. Person. You think I'm not? I wanted to save you because I was selfish and I refused to let my sister, my purpose go. If anyone ruined my life, it was me. Or better yet, it was fuckin' Hongou, the motherfucker who actually, y'know, kidnapped us and KILLED YOU?"
He dropped his angry yelling down to a whisper. "So, yeah, you're tired. You should be. But you got two choices. You give up and deal with whatever happens, or you wake yourself the fuck up and try to fix what's gone wrong. And I don't think the girl who went 9 years into the future to save herself is gonna give up without a fight now."
