...Now she just feels bad. Akihiko had confided in her because he trusted her, and wanted her to understand. Shinjiro, too, had talked about Miki a little because he wanted to share his feelings with her.

But if Akihiko hadn't told Minato as well... now it's like she knows a private secret. Peering in on someone else's personal business. The Akihiko here wouldn't expect her or Minato to know.

It's not really surprising. She's sure it doesn't mean that Akihiko and Shinjiro trusted and respected Minato any less. Friendships between boys are just different than the friendship between a boy and a girl. Maybe, they just hadn't felt the need to speak about something so emotional. But it still makes her worry that she's inadvertently shared something she shouldn't.

"I don't know many details. Just that she died in a fire at their orphanage when they were younger. But that girl said she grew up with Shinjiro-senpai, and I don't know about anybody else who'd make him react like that."

Plus she just looked like Akihiko. Unless the differences between timelines are now getting so wild that people's genders are switched.... but she thinks that Shinjiro's reaction to a female Akihiko would be more abject horror than tears.
