[He'll nod, apparently satisfied with that answer.]
No lasting good comes from anyone throwing away their life. If you want change, then you fight. You show just how much your life is worth keeping, and how much you matter to the people around you, by doing everything you can to stay alive.
[His own smile quirks up easily, reaching his eyes in a warm, almost paternal way. But he shakes it off with a look over his shoulder at the coffee machine, then back at Akira's dwindling water bottle.]
Anyway, I know you're still pretty devastated about not being able to make coffee for yourself, but hopefully what they have isn't too much of a deal breaker for you.
Maybe Black Shadows will let us do something for them in exchange for some better equipment.
It must be something I'm not familiar with. I didn't even learn about coffee until the temple, and we only had it available a couple times out of things like cafes or shops. I never got to make it myself.
If I can figure out how the transfer system works for the water without mixing up the heating elements, then maybe I can diagram a proper substitute for a fonic-based situation!
[Just five minutes!!!! He'll put it back together!!!!!!!!]

[despite Akira's recklessness, he has never treated his life so flippantly]
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

[Easy way to fix this:
