[Yeah. Well, Lio doesn't know about all of this. He nods, miserable.]
Yeah. He's supposed to just be capturing terrorists and criminals, and putting them somewhere they can't cause fires. But instead, he was doing this - to everybody. Not that it would be okay to do this to anybody, but the guy in that memory - he's just a guy who worked at the pizza place me and my unit used to visit! He never did anything, but when they found out he was a Burnish they arrested him and did this.
[AND NOW AKIRA KNOWS WHY GALO WANTED TO STEAL SOME HEARTS]
That's-- [Akira feels a flash of anger broiling in his gut, eyes widening then narrowing, fire burning in his irises. this may not be his world, and these may not be the people he knows, but. . .]
[he's far too empathetic to not feel anything]
That's shitty. There has to be something you can do about it. . .!
[because if he knows Galo, based on everything he's seen Galo do since arriving, he isn't the type to just stand around and let things like this happen]
[Nope, he's not. But on the other hand, he's apparently the type of guy who'd go and yell at the person doing it and get thrown instantly into prison where he can't do shit.]
I have some ideas to stop him, but we have to get home first. Get home, stop him, free the Burnish, and then stop the magma in earth's core. If I can just do all of that, it'll be fine!
[That wasn't sarcastic, somehow. It's going! To be fine!]

That's. . . a pretty big to-do list.
[but you know what? Akira's anger fades into a smile, the corners of his lips twitching]
But I feel like if anyone could accomplish that, it's you.
