[What a different Akira. It's startling, in a way, and he taps his foot a little restlessly in response.]

... I'm not certain I would call it a gift per say...

[But there's a character sheet in front of him, stats and all, and Goro glances between Akira and it uncertainly. The biggest thing he'd change would be helplessness, but he's going to lean on his hand instead, smiling softly.]

I don't have a right to change you, you know. You're no more a puppet than I am. If there's anything to be done, it needs to be done by you.

[As he says so, he'll be reaching over to take Akira's hand, place it on the character sheet.]

If you need help with that, I'm here for you no matter what. We're friends, after all.

[More than that, but he's very much keeping cards closer to his chest.]
