People in the notes have said physical therapist Akihiko and ohohoho you fools you fucking clowns you don’t even know. Imagine Shinji getting out of the coma and all the rehabilitation shit he’s gotta do all the physical therapy like you just know Akihiko is so fucking over the moon he’s done so much research he’s so excited to see Shinji have a “training regime” he infodumps about what’s happening with the muscle recovery process and what stretches work best hes just way too invested he talks over doctors and Shinji is just like “good god if you know so much why don’t you just be a physical therapist” and Akihiko’s like 😈

Akihiko becoming a cop is something that simply doesn’t happen in the coma route cuz Shinji would see that shit and be like Aki what the actual hell is wrong with you

#like he does feel upset seeing shinji in such a vulnerable state and struggling with everything #but it does get overshadowed by excitement mitsuru is like ‘please he just got out of a coma stop being so pushy 😵‍💫’#hes just so invested he gets to learn so much shit he never even considered before its so interesting #and i think itd be very important that hes much more aware of like limits this time cuz a big strain in his relationship with shinji was #aki being pushy and not understanding shinjis limits and shinji being bad at letting himself have limits and communicating them #and like its very important not to push too hard when recovering from a coma cuz itll just make things worse #its a big adjustment for both of them cuz akihiko definitely has always been told to push harder past limits and to always try to be #stronger and not let yourself stop and its more important now than ever to unlearn that attitude #and shinji is so all or nothing like he either quits too fast or pushes to the point of destruction without communicating anything #so its very easy for him to get trapped in a hopeless spiral when things take time and then get desperate and try too hard #but he gets a lot of encouragement from everyone this time and its sooo weird and annoying and overwhelming but it is nice #also quick tangent like really pisses me off when ppl write shinji just like MIRACULOUSLY SPRINGING OUT of the coma like he just pops awake #gets up and starts running to do shit which tbf the game does it too but its like dude hes been in a like 6 month coma #im not an expert i still got a lotta research to do but i mean theres so much shit hes gonna go through #even if theres no like brain damage youre still gonna have to relearn basic stuff like eating breathing walking and like. general awareness #of your surroundings and who you are and what happened to you and 6 months is so long too so its gonna be rough #im not saying you gotta give him like brain damage but damn at least establish that recovery is lengthy and difficult #his ass is not walking around!!!#also hes still got a lot of mental illness and like did get shot fully believing he deserved to die so like hes also gotta lot of mental #health recovery to be doing like unless he somehow has some magical therapy coma dreams things arent gonna be perfect peachy for him #i get wanting to make everything happy but idk personally i think id rather it be gradual and a struggle cuz its more realistic and like #i think having this character just miraculously be fine is such a disservice like i think he deserves to have love and hope for him even #when its difficult cuz his life will never be easy he’ll never be free from the trauma but that doesnt mean his life isnt worth living #and him being loved unconditionally even though hes a ‘burden’ is so so important to me #i just hate the laziness like wheres the love man wheres the genuine character appreciation #anyway physical therapist aki its canon now hed be so so good at it and hes got personal experience
