He half snorts. "Hasn't ever stopped him before." He's always cried. He pauses for a moment, thinking. Hard to summarize everything that Aki is, really. "He's honest, reckless, loyal—guy you'd trust to have your back with you need it. But me telling you isn't gonna mean much in the long run. Looks a bit like you, though."
He falls silent then, halting at her last question. His brows furrow. What he remembers? Dying. Or almost, apparently. Seeing a girl cry. And that kid had had the weirdest expression on him that he had ever seen. Like somebody had kicked him in the gut. No reason for him to make a face like that when he was getting what he wanted.
"The fourth is the last thing I remember," he says. Simple enough. And he almost leaves it there, but he remembers his memories of what happened were different than hers. It's something that needs to be corrected, so that Minako's brother isn't blamed for something he never did. "It's just a bit different from yours."
He sighs, mouth thinning. "Minato never led Strega. He died a decade earlier. I never knew he existed until now. Sakaki led Strega, with Shirato and that Chidori girl." Until Iori had gotten a hold of her anyway. He assumes Miki will know Takaya was the one that shot him. That much hadn't changed. "In Aki's world, Minato lived and led SEES. That's who you saw at the festival. In mine, he was dead. Minako took his place as leader—she was the girl you met."
