Summary
With the steadily-increasing popularity of the Phantom Thieves, Mishima has been working himself to the bone collecting requests and passing them onto Akira, but as of late he finds himself questioning more and more just why he doesn’t have the capability to join them in their quests. It hurts. He just wants to be useful in a way that doesn’t involve hiding behind a screen and never jumping into action. He wants to be strong.
He feels like a coward.
The main issue, he corrects himself mentally, is not that he can’t help to change hearts, but rather that everybody acts like he’s a drag to be around. It’s difficult to try to accept his own shortcomings when the Thieves don’t even acknowledge him as part of their missions. Was the Phansite not enough? Were the poll questions somehow wrong? Was he not doing it right after all?
It was only after he felt something hot and wet fall onto his hands, still clutching the sink like a lifeline, did he realise he was crying.
