Akira's lost everything here. Nakajima-san, Shirou-san, Ichigo-san. Iwai-san. He's had a bomb shoved into his chest, and then had to shove a bomb into mine to try to save me.
He's seen you possessed by a monster, and almost had to kill you.
How much more do you think he can take? Akira is strong. He's so, so strong.
But he can't lose you. He can't lose his family. If only for his sake... please think of his sake.
[that is. a really effective argument, but she's just trying so hard to be strong, but she's not. she's just fundamentally broken inside.]
I won't be rash or reckless.
If we can figure out an idea tomorrow, then that's what I'll aim for. But I also can't vote for anyone else. I can't vote for Cinque, I can't even vote for Kohaku, even though I can't stand him.
I understand. If you have to vote for yourself, I get it.
But please don't volunteer yourself.
You have to live--because Akira needs you more than he needs anything right now. You're his second-in-command. That means that sometimes, you have to be his strength for him, right?

And it's not about that anyway anymore. It's just like everyone said. The game was just a distraction all along.

But if we have to keep playing it, then I'm going to play my way.

You're the strategist for the Phantom Thieves, right? Akira's second in command?

We'll see what tomorrow brings. I said I wouldn't be rash.

I... I'll be counting on you to be that.

Okay. We'll look for every other available option.

Thank you so much, Makoto. I wish I could be there to support you two too.
But... for now, I'll be counting on you. But it's okay. I know you're reliable.

I'll do my best. Whatever happens, I'm sure that your role isn't done yet either, Minato. Even if you aren't here with us.
