Akane was still worried, he didn't sound well.
"Yes, I believe you can. But we won't start until you tell me what's troubling you. I can feel that you're not okay. I need to know everything related to this before we start, so if there is something I don't know yet now is the perfect time to tell me."

"I..." He sighed and looked down, all his put up confidence melting away. "Nee-chan, I... Ran into Shay... That... 'friend' I told you about... I..." He shook his head. "Its fine though. I... Still need to do this, so it... Doesn't..."

"Kenta," Akane spoke quietly and calmly putting a stop to his disorganized talk "you need to calm down and tell me about it... It's important for me to know what happened with her this time. I'll remind you that if it weren't for the incident you two have had, we most likely wouldn't be here trying to do what we plan to do. That's why it is important..." She patted him gently. "So let's talk about Shay first and then we can start and don't worry - we have enough time for everything."

"mm..." Kenta nodded and took a deep breath. "I... ran into her at the park yesterday. We... I tried to talk to her..." He looked down. "After I... ran away... After last time, I was... really scared to talk. I... She followed me and I... I really don't know when I stopped running and started talking. I just sorta... did. I told her about you, told her we might be able to fix everything. I thought she would be happy. Everything could go back to normal. But... She just... got annoyed... It was really confusing." He sighed and fell outstretched on his back, still obviously confused. "She said she... Didn't want friends. That she pushes everyone away but... Then what was I? Why did she..?" He closed his eyes, hands behind his head as he lay there.
"I... Think I'm too confused to be upset anymore..." He smirked. "All the screaming and thrashing I did in the forest afterward... prolly helped too... Well, maybe not for the trees, but..." He opened one eye and looked back at her. "I think I actually breathed fire last night." He told her, only half joking.

Akane listened to Kenta carefully, but she couldn't quite understand why Shay acted that way all of a sudden. In the end it sounded like it didn't have much to do with what happened to them that time in the forest...

Only when he mentioned breathing fire has she snapped out of thinking about her. He raged and his powers were active, which Akane thought was inappropriate. She could understand that he was desperate over losing a friend, but she was also worried that because of it he might have been on a verge to lose control over his actions again - and she didn't like it! Still, she tried not to show she was upset...

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say about your friend... Maybe she needs some time to think about your relationship, a lot of things happened to you two. Maybe she too is confused..." She shrugged.
"And... about what happened afterwards - don't you think you overreacted a bit? I mean, you need to keep control over your actions not to lose it again. You breathed fire, which means that you used your powers even if you were not in danger. I think you shouldn't let things like that happen..." She tried to point out his mistake.

His smile fell as she pointed this out. It seemed pretty obvious in hindsight. "Maybe thats it... I guess I sounded kinda selfish then..." He let out a sigh. When she went on to talk about his tantrum, he looked confused and sat up. "It was just a tantrum, Nee-chan. I make fire all the time anyway.. I needed to let it all out is all. I couldn't keep it all bottled up anymore, and I felt a bit better after. Why shouldn't I have..?"

Akane felt bad for not being able to help Kenta solve the problem with his friend. She has never been such a situation, so she couldn't find an explanation why would Shay act like that.
"No, I don't think you sounded selfish! You care for her and it's only natural you didn't want to lose her. And... she too... If she didn't care for you, why would she follow you in the first place? I don't know the girl, but I really feel that she only needs some time to sort out her feelings. You shouldn't give up on her, just give her enough time to see that she didn't push you away. Always be there for her, but don't make pressure - it can't do any good." She smiled softly.

"As for your tantrum, I didn't mean to lecture you or anything. I'm just worried that something like that past incident could happen again if you can't control your emotions, that's all..."
