Joshua can read him quite well. Aki lets go as Joshua won't tell him and he was aware of that.
Aki continued to analyse inside his mind. She still has doubt about him. He didn't want to make any mistakes but sometimes it slips when Reiji is involved. Not just Reiji,if it was someone else like his father,Akio or his family or friends,he would have felt the same.
'What are you trying to sum up?' Joshua asked and was still following Aki. 'Are you trying to make excuses?' Hearing Joshua's question Aki turned toward Joshua as he was walking behind him. He was still reading Aki.
'You know I can't control. I'm not like mom.'Joshua tried to make excuses.
Aki was walking toward his Rest-house. It was really late of the night.
The surrounding was silent. Aki was immersed in thinking. Even though Joshua was walking behind him,he tried to maintain a space where Aki can't notice his presence. He just followed Aki's silhouette.
