It's weird, huh? Having someone trying to take care of you. [ Akira doesn't say it in an accusatory way -- sort of a vague, almost scientifically curious way. Akira hasn't had anyone take care of him in a very long time, either. Sure, Sojiro's his guardian, and he's much more present than his actual parents, and all the other good adults in his life certainly do their best -- but Akira has never had anyone fuss over him.
There's never dinner waiting for him; his lunch is never packed ahead of time. No one is there when he's sick, and no one is there when he has nightmares. He thinks it must have been the same for Akechi, at least for most of Akechi's life. He doesn't know what his mom was like, not really.
Akira wonders, sometimes, if he's trying to take care of everyone else because no one ever took care of him. ]
