Akira knew he had changed for the better. His charisma, strength and bravery had improved but where has that changed gone? Akira noticed somethign had been off this morning. He felt as if His soul felt incomplete and it haunted him. While walking back from school, he had noticed a young girl getting harassed by some older men. Akira wanted to step by and stop the man but his feet carried him the other way. He ran away from a situation he knew he could handle. This was unlike him but why couldn't he carry out the act? Akira's mind chased its own tail as his thoughts spun in circles. His chest tightened up as he took quick, shallow breathes. Why was he so scared to stand up for someone else? Where has his motivation to change the future go? Did he even have that motivation in the first place?
Akira tried thinking of his missing memory's cryptic message but stopped. He had passed by someone and a powerful pang of pain ran through his head. For a moment, he saw Ryuji on the ground and Kamoshida's voice ringing out something unintelligable but it caused Akira's heart to beat. The mental image caused Akira suddenly lose his breath. He gripped his chest and looked around for the cause of pain but his headache was starting to subside. Someone... Someone had his memory! Akira, with the sudden vigor to chase after the pain, started to run up and down each of the streets in search to find the missing pieces of his mind. The last puzzle piece. His soul.
