[ I can't believe Ala would have to protect Rio in order to save Akira, because if Rio dies, she can be revived, but if Akira's Shadow gets torn to shreds, he's ego-deathing. This is so stupid! If Ala couldn't protect Rio on the way down here and a Shadow had gotten her, would Rio have exploded back on the floor??? ]

Being scared of a lot of things is good, isn't it...? It means you care about a lot of things that aren't just yourself, and can see different sides.
