"Yeah..."
-It's been a struggle, but Aichi is definitely doing his best to adjust to this whole situation. He's been here for a bit now, but it's still not easy for him. He has made mild progress though and that's something he's a little happy about.-
"I'm trying to be more independent... I can't rely on Emi..."
-Well, he does seem to be waking up a little. He's still rather groggy, but at least he doesn't look like he's immediately going to fall asleep now...-

-Aichi seems to be waking up more as he talks.-
"It would be nice if I could surprise Emi and Mom once I got home. I can only imagine how weird it would be for me to wake up without help when they're so used to me needing it..."
-... Home... Darn it, he's on that subject again. Despite being a little depressed he gives Leos a small smile.-
"Sorry... I know you told me not to think too much about home because it would drive me crazy, but... it's not easy."
It took me way longer to make this post than I realized.

-Aichi nods-
"Yeah. I'll be fine."
-He repeats this to himself more than Leos. Thankfully this talk (despite Aichi being somewhat out of it for the first half) has bolstered his spirits a fair amount. He also seems to have finally woken up enough to actually stay awake.-
"Thank you for the help, Leos. I'm really sorry about being half asleep like that..."

-W-Wait, they want to PERMANENTLY replace Leos?!-
"T-They can't do that! You're really good at your job! Surely there can be some kind of arrangement or something? Do they understand your situation?"
-Aichi is worried for Leos. He doesn't want him to lose his livelihood.-

-Aichi nods which helps him snap out of it a little more.-
"Yeah... she made sure I got up in time for school... and made sure I stayed awake..."
-Judging by how tired he is he probably has not adjusted to not having her around.-
