[She'd never broken one before, but she'd been able to get a sense for when she might say something wrong to break a Social Link. She doesn't know for sure if it's the same for Akira, if his relationship with Akechi is like that, but it still applies no matter what. She just hums and keeps her position where it is, trying to pour all the support she can into her hug.]
Then it might take more work than you think, but you'll be able to do it.
[It's dangerous to close her eyes, she's tired enough that she might fall asleep, but she does it anyway with a quiet sigh.]
You'll feel better once you sleep on it and talk to him. Promise.
[Either they'll totally break it off, or they'll work toward fixing it. Either way, it'll be better than the limbo he's caught in now.
[Warm... comfy... No, she can't sleep here. Shinji is still downstairs. Reluctantly, she pulls herself back when he leans back. It feels like her bones are made of lead as she does, but but she gives him a tired smile anyway.]
[She leans into his hand a little bit, her own small smile barely reaching her eyes. Then she plants a hand on the floor and shoves herself to her feet, wavering just a moment with the effort.]
Aragaki-senpai and I are gonna head back to the farmhouse. Come get me if you need me.
[It's not a question, it's a command. But also don't bother calling her charm because she will almost certainly sleep through that.]
[Social linking is easier over food, she's found, and it's an easy offer she makes him. Gives him plenty of time to sleep (or not), time to talk to Akechi -- and give him a feasible excuse if he needs to leave early from that conversation, if things start to go... poorly.]
Oh, but you can just message me if you're gonna eat with him instead. That's way more important.
[He settles into a tired frown, the expression awash with..., something, it's hard to say exactly what. Melancholy, of some sort, but he's smiling anyway.]
Yeah. Sounds good. [He has a stray thought to offer to cook, but..., He can't really actually bring it up-- he doesn't know if he'll have the energy or wherewithal to cook immediately.]
[She gives him one more final smile before letting herself out of his room to head back downstairs, again. Shinji's wanted to go home since they arrived, so it's only fair that she finally release him before she passes out asleep on a table.
Whatever these two have got going on... yikes. It sounds messy. Good luck, she guesses.]

...thanks. For checking on me, too. [Because she already admonished him (gently) for apologizing, so it would be rude to continue.]

That's what friends do, right?

You look pretty tired, you should get some sleep. [Morgana voice: go the f*ck to sleep!]

I'm pretty sure I can make it through the night, but thanks. [A faint grin, this one a little more true and set in his features.]

[She gives him a wink, trying to make him laugh, and pats his shoulder before heading for the door.]
I'll see you tomorrow. Message me after you've talked to him, okay?
[In case he got nervous about doing it, now he's going to know that she'll ask about it.]
no subject
...yeah. I can't promise I won't sleep well into the afternoon, though.
