[ And... something in Minato's expression eases at that, as he reaches for Akira's hand to squeeze in his own. ]

... That sounds pretty good, actually.

In the end... no matter what it looks like, your heart really is free, huh?

[despite the gravity of the conversation, when Akira looks up again, his expression is bright]

If anything good came out of my Journey, it was learning how to cast off the chains that had held be back.

So-- yeah. [he gives Minato's hand a tiny squeeze!] It's as free as it can be.

[ ... A deep breath in, and he lets it out again. ]

You're... really impressive, you know that?

[but anyway! with the scarf still twined around their necks, Akira heads out of the diner and towards the pool hall, walking hand-in-hand with the other wild card]
