Strangulation marks from social silencing and his family refusing to believe what he said anyway. Backstabs for trust issues. Chest partly ripped open over the heart, thanks Goro Akechis, plural. Friction burns on the inside of his hands because of his canon point where Everyone Was Gone. He couldn't hold on to anyone or anything.
Nita is a maybe that I would very much like to make a yes. Akira is complicated math balancing the closeness of the CR and the severity of the wounds and the severity of the wounds. Yes, severity of wounds twice, because life-threatening means he needs to talk but it also means the things he least wants to talk about.
"Make it an analogy if you gotta; the point is to get it out there and... own it? If that's the right phrase. It's something you're stuck bearing regardless of how it got there."
It occurs that a fun/terrible thing is that Akira can't even really try to just bandage himself up, because the burns on his hands are going to wreck his ability to do anything with any dexterity at all.
Also I'm coming to the slow horrible realization that the more Akira builds CR with Cloud, the more likely Sephiroth will become involved at some point.
And we said tdm established so Akira knows Cloud is from fascist dictatorship land.
The last major one is the hands, it looks like. Lol, that one is making an analogy of itself.
Akira, tiredly: As long as you don't turn into a giant gold cup, we're good.
