[ The cat was captured? And killed himself? He can't imagine a weird black and white creature being captured and committing suicide. Something doesn't add up.
Akira looks dubious, slightly alarmed at the memory that might come (fortunately, he's spared)—until he feels the weight against him. Shifting a bit, he looks over to him for one moment only to catch that vulnerable expression then instinctive averts his gaze. While what's said doesn't instantly alert him of turmoil, it reeks in the tone, the gestures, and definitely the last line. He can guess there's more behind all of this, but he chooses not to press.
Their other selves led a different life, ones where their past and ambitions glistened brightly. He can only wonder what Goro saw, if it painted a different picture of his other self... And if he wants to tell him, then only in time.
Quietly, he leans against him in return, as if saying it's all right. ]
You are not him. Don't forget that.
[ The end of the Phantom Thieves, the shady suicide, Goro's rising popularity in this past life whatever it is, his experience in the field—none of it matters right now. ]
