[Shinjiro does indeed follow Akihiko's lead, his own hands stuffed in the pockets of his coat as usual. The first part's easy enough to nod along to, a faint huff that's nearly amused to punctuate the sentiment. Keeping to himself and avoiding getting involved in much of anything or with anyone is pretty much exactly what he's done. It's only an accident of circumstance that he even has connections with Kitsuragi and Don by now.

But then of course, Aki had to say that. Shinjiro almost considers ignoring it. There's more important things to get into first, and he'd been hoping he'd get more time before the inevitable. The sigh this time is a lot harsher and more pronounced.]

You wanna learn more about this place or are you gonna get distracted gettin' on my case instead? I ain't on the street. But like I told Amada, this ain't some fresh start. It's an extension, is all, in some assholes' fucked up circus cage, and when it runs out, that's it for me.
