[He’s not OK. Those few comments from Akechi were enough to summon up memories Souji has been trying to get past - memories of watching Yosuke die bloody in the woods while he could only helplessly watch. Farther back, to watching Nanako die in a hospital bed that was too big for her tiny body.
Sophia made some good points, too. Partners do things together. Souji steps back and gestures to invite Yosuke to enter the room.]
["We should talk". Yeah there it is. Souji's always got such a strong mask on, he can't see through that 'I'm ok' like he can most other people. But he read the words Souji wrote, and then the extra argument with Akechi.

We should, yeah. It's- I get it. I'm sorry.
