[ from ryuji's perspective, akira's quickly becoming a man of many faces, yet another thing he isn't entirely sure how to field.
it won't stop him from trying, though. to the untrained eye akira looks outwardly nervous, exceedingly so, and who better to give him a healthy dose of reassurance than his newfound partner in crime? how's that saying go, you have to fake it until you make it? they'll both be a couple of fakers here, then. ]
Relax, man. No one's gonna know we're here. The roof's the last place they'll ever look once they figure out we're playing hooky.
[ for good measure, ryuji slaps akira across the shoulder. the stumbling, wobbling should probably faze him more than it does. looks like somebody doesn't know their own strength. ]
Guess you're right, though. We'll just have to do whatever it takes.
[ ryuji'd be lying if he said he wasn't still on the fence about it, just a little. but it is what it is; they're short on options and short on time. dragging this out will just make matters worse than they are, and ryuji's both seen and suffered enough as it is. the last thing he wants is someone who's finally on his side to get dragged and pulled under too. whether or not they're the only ones struggling against the current, they'll have to fight. ]
