To prevent a massive social death incident—and to keep Akari's older sister from giving up on life and taking him down with her—Sogo Doma could only ignore Akarin's question again and swiftly change the subject. "Come to think of it, it was fate playing tricks that got you tangled up in this again, Akarin. Sure enough, only disappearing in the physical sense..."
