[Is he...? Well, perhaps he is. Though it's true Akira still doesn't want to die, not for real. But beyond that... maybe he does have a habit of putting everyone else's well-being before his own.
He doesn't see what's wrong with that, though.]
...Like I said, I understand what you're trying to do. [But he can't deny that no, he isn't happy.] And I appreciate it. It makes me... happy.
[And then he smiles, just a little, into his cup, and that's genuine. Because he's happy to have this second (third?) chance, too.
He's happy that Akechi is still in his life, for that much longer.]
