I do need to make sure Itto doesn't actually steal my bed.

[ the chances of someone being shot is so high.

instead, he just looks at akira. ]

But I do want to say something before I do that. I've been thinking about the last thing you said to me the other day, and some of it was bullshit. You said I never touch or hold you, but I did. All the time. Just because someone else might do it more, doesn't mean I never did. And you said that killing God is the most important thing to me. You're wrong, and I know you'll never believe this, and I'll have to live with that. God terrifies me, Akira. I can't explain that kind of fear without you meeting God yourself.

[ the idea of making the ultimate being hate you so much and that the only way to end it is by killing god. such an impossible feat. ]

But then I was faced with something even more terrifying. It was the realization that you don't actually need me at all. [ it was very funny, since just a few days ago ryo very confidently said he was finally secure in what their relationship was. ] You'll be fine without me, even if you might be sad for a little while.

[ he takes a few steps back. ]

I suppose my point is, I can concede that my love isn't what you want. But never try to tell me that it is less than it is. Goodbye, Akira.
