PROTIP: This is an off-branch of the original story which delves further into the plot by explaining Akira's motives, past, and reasoning! It is a multi-part story and should take between 3-4 parts to completely explain the story. Since the story isn't about the development of the 'Faith' Arcana each of the titles will be labeled by 'Akira's Story' and what part it is. The first section of the title is the name of the specific to each chapter whilst the rest will be adjusted to which part of the story it is.
WARNING: SLIGHTLY MATURE CONTENT AHEAD. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED IF YOU ARE EASILY TRIGGERED BY MATURE AND HARSH TOPICS SUCH AS SUICIDE AND OR DEPRESSION.

Throb.
Pound.
Throb.
Akira winced as he forced his way into the small public washroom within the ramen shop before almost collapsing on the ground in pain.
'Why did I do that?! I just hurt Ann!'
Does it really matter what others think of you? They are meaningless after all.
'And I made Morgana run away too....' He gasped, the familiar sickening feeling of guilt crawling back inside him, weighing him down as if a dozen bricks were just dropped onto him.
Eventually, he found some strength to pick himself up to where he sat against the wall with his head in his arms as he shook.
'It's all my fault, everything's my fault.'
'I'm completely... worthless.'
Soon the door was slammed open to reveal a familiar blonde and worried bluenette within the doorway to the bathroom.
"Akira!" They rushed over to help their friend with worried expressions.
"Holy crap, what's wrong with you?!" Ryuji panicked sensing the massive trembling coming from his leader, as well as his closest friend's, body.
"Are you alright, Akira?" Yusuke questioned kneeling down next to the trembling boy, before hesitantly poking him which just made the trembling worse.
"P-Please... go away..." Akira mumbled but it was audible enough to be heard by the other boys.
'I don't want to hurt you guys too...' He clenched his clothes tightened as his head began to pound and the trembling increased.
"Akira!" Ryuji demanded, clasping onto the frightened boy's shoulders as he forced him to look into his eyes.
Akira hesitantly lifted his head to come in contact with Ryuji's determined brown orbs.
"See? We're not going to hurt you. Now stop trembling on the floor like a baby and stand up." Ryuji said with a slight smile, offering his assistance to stand.
Akira just hesitantly took his arm before standing up against the wall, not saying anything and refusing to make eye-contact with the boys once again.
With the help of Ryuji, Akira just quietly exited the bathroom and headed back home, not making a single noise beyond the slight whimpers that escaped his lips.
"There, are you feeling at least a little better now?" Ryuji questioned getting no response from the black-haired boy as he sat him down on the bed.
"What happened back there...?" Yusuke questioned lightly, not wanting to shock his leader any more than he already was.
Akira wasn't really listening, too consumed in his own thoughts to even bother to hear.
His mind was in shambles, fighting between conviction and guilt as he winced in pain once more holding his head.
