Yey, flashback!
I guess we now know where Akiba's coming from as to why he's all evil and menacing. Having met someone who's potentially better than yourself can really make you feel down, and to how Aki's been acting with all the spirit realm juju happening in the past few pages, one can say he's got a really big grudge for his sister. If this page had its own title, it'd be, "Hugot" (It's Filipino slang; Google it).
Q: What's your opinion on people who keep seeking for attention? Do you feel that they're trying to open up to someone but are having a hard time doing so, or do they just want to hog the spotlight for everyone to notice their every action?
