Seeing Akira's eyes open, Josh didn't feel a lot better. It was evident he was still sad, and a part of him ached, his heart clenching in his chest from being too far to do anything about it. "You believe that?" Josh wondered, asking with surprise evident in his voice.
"If I had someone else Akira…I wouldn't be as happy. Elizabeth would have been a horrible wife, any other man wouldn't suffice, not to mention how could I even find someone better than you? I'm inside almost all of my life. And if I were to stumble upon another person I could wed, I would never doubt that I'd rather it be you. No matter what you say to yourself, all those bad thoughts, I'll tell you just how wrong they are." Josh explained, sincerity showing clear in his voice. "You could have someone better than me Akira, anyone can do better, but that doesn't mean your emotions for me would change. Same goes for my own towards you."
