Game script for one of my favorite P3/Aki-related moments. :)
[ Akihiko enters the auditorium and climbs the stage. He addresses the picture of Shinjiro. ]
Akihiko: Yo. I had the usual for lunch... Ramen tastes a lot better when you're cutting class. ...Make sure you invite me next time.
[ He turns his back. ]
Akihiko: Say something, will ya...? Why are you always like that? You're so stubborn. Put yourself in my shoes for a change...
[ He turns back around and leans on the table. ]
Akihiko: ...You think it's the other way around, huh? I guess you're right... I was too obsessed with power... Ever since I lost Miki, that's all I've cared about... I thought that if I was strong enough, I could protect anyone... But, I was wrong... And now, you're gone too... I'm such an idiot.
[ He hangs his head and pounds the table a few times in frustration. ]
Akihiko: In battle, there's always a chance of dying... I knew that! But... I was so focused on fighting that I didn't notice anything else! It didn't matter how tough I was! Look what happened!
[ He drops down to his knees. ]
Akihiko: Ahhhhhhhhh...
[ He looks back up at the picture. ]
Akihiko: ...Yeah, I know... Crying won't change anything, will it...?
[ He stands back up. ]
Akihiko: Alright, Shinji... You watch from there with Miki. I still have things to do, right?
> The resolution in Akihiko's heart has awakened a new Persona...
[ Polydeuces appears above Akihiko, and then changes into another Persona. ]
> Polydeuces has given rise to Caesar!
[ Caesar disappears. ]
Akihiko: I know that much. I can't carry this guilt forever... I'm getting tired of it.
