Aoi, on the hand, looked angrier and angrier as Akane spoke. "You're right. I was happy. And I thought Duster was happy, but what was I supposed to think when he just left."

He turned his scowl to Duster. "You're saying I didn't fight? What about you? You're the one who's willin' to walk away just because you think destiny is something you can't fuckin' change."

He shook with frustration. "I wanna do what you want me to do, but I don't even know what that is, dude."
