He

was weak against those sort of requests from Natsuki and Akio. He had

no way of knowing what his previous self may have thought, but at the

I won’t be able to talk to those children……I don’t want to be

away from them.”

“You want to be together with Natsuki and

Akio? Does that also include me?”
