Late!
Can finally read these things since I've finally got the game! XD XD XD
I so love reading your work--you inundate everything with so much detail! I mean, I saw seven times (at least) where you tell us that Shinjiro is thin, but it's always a separate detail (here ribs, here elbows, here pectorals, ect, ect) that we're noticing, and so it doesn't seem repetitive at all! And even though this is just a short scene in a locker room, happening at last two years after "before", it still feels like we know what "before" was like, just by the few times Akihiko drops that word.
And, from my squeeing fangirl side...
Eeeeee! It's Shinji! Being smug! And Aki! Being more cute than he has a right to be! (It's that smile, isn't it? That smile of his.)
