Akihiko had perked up at the remembrance and was about to say as much when the answer to his question knocked the air out of his lungs instead.

I forgot twice.. you're sure you're alright? [He said that, Aki. Despite this, Akihiko's tone is only more urgent, taking half a step closer as if it would help him confirm Makoto's well-being.]
