Good day, everyone. I hope you are all in a better state now.

[ Much like his last post on the network, he waves at the camera when the transmission begins. He's seated on a sofa chair with a coffee table in front of him. A shogi set can be seen in the foreground. ]

I'm not sure just how big the Japanese populace is here, but I'd like to send an invitation to play shogi. I do have a certain friend whom I play with every week, but it would also be nice to get to know more people—both through conversation and through a game. I also have a chess set, for those who don't know how to play shogi, so please let me know if you're interested.

[ He keeps it a secret that he's never lost in a game of shogi... or chess... or anything else that isn't basketball, really. u_u ]

My other inquiry is a little far off from board games. I was wondering - if you were given the chance to forget something about yourself, would you take it? [ He lets out an amused chortle, a little obvious that he's hiding something. Akashi is not the best of liars. ] It's a thought I've considered more than once now... I was hoping to get an outsider's point of view.

Anyway, those are all my inquiries. Thank you for your time.

I think... it would be best to never be reminded of what you had forgotten in the first place, should. . . something like this really happen.

Or maybe I'm just pushing the idea far too much. [ He hums in thought as he looks down at his palms. ] Ah, I'm torn.

Oh definitely. You can't miss what you don't know. But then, you are also made up of what you have experienced. Can you honestly say that you are the person you are without memories of your experiences, good and bad.

I don't even know myself all that well.

[ And he says that with no bashfulness whatsoever. He's still figuring himself out! ]

I think that's normal. No one truly knows themselves until they have had many experiences.
