"It's quite deplorable, is it not? Though, the true villain in it all was Shido. Akechi certainly did unforgiveable things, but Shido was Akechi's father. He left Akechi's mother and she died not long after." She shook her head and put her hands to her chest as a frown took her expression. If Shido hadn't left, or if he had at least acknowledged his own son, would things have been different for him? "He was used. Though...he still made his own choices." And those choices had resulted in the murder of her own father, which had thrown her own world into a storm that she had not been certain she could weather. After all of that it was probably quite strange that she still felt conflicted about how she should feel towards Akechi. There was no love for him, there wasn't even forgiveness precisely, but there was...sympathy. Finally, she looked up at him and forced a smile that still had sadness in it. "I am glad I could at least give you some comfort then! I doubt any of us expected to find ourselves saving Japan, but I am proud we were able to do so." It was probably more accurate to say they saved the world, but that was an even more complicated story to explain. Who would guess things could get more complicated?
"It can be quite difficult to bring yourself out of a mindset like that. I found, after my fathers death, that it was rather difficult to stop my thoughts from wandering to all the mystery surrounding it. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you here alone." At least back home she had the others contacting her to check in. Even when she had not responded she had greatly appreciated how much they had shown their concern for her. Had she been completely alone she had no idea what she would have done. She certainly would have never found the strength to pull herself out of the sinking feeling that had overtaken her. She followed behind him with quick but short delicate steps and then gave him a more enthusiastic smile. "I know I am probably not quite the friend you would want here, but you're certainly not alone now!"
She nodded as he spoke. Well, at least it was not completely different to his dorms back home. "Ah, so privacy is a bit of a problem?" That was a shame. "I hope you were not held responsible for that!" It seemed like that was more their fault than his, but then again they were children....
