[Pardon the wry grin— can't help it. It's been a long time since anyone stared him down with such red-eyed vitriol. It really is like being glowered at by some slavering beast, but Akira sees the light in those eyes, the howling inferno. He sees hope where Mika might not, and if that makes him a fool, so be it. He'll never argue otherwise.

...Yeah, it's pretty refreshing, actually. He's missed this.]

People are wrong all the time. People make mistakes and hurt each other on purpose. If you think vampires are monsters, humans aren't any better.

[But he wouldn't be the obnoxious optimist every red-eyed douchebag hates if he didn't insist on speaking his truth. Go ahead, snarl and snap at him. Akira doesn't mind it one bit. He enjoys arguing, actually, freak that he is.]

The fact that you get so twisted up over all of this is proof that you don't accept the status quo. If everyone thought like you, nothing would ever change.
