Akiko had waved in greeting to the Alex, Devon, and Sairyn as each one had entered the conversation. She had been elated when Jemma had hi-fived her back. Then Alex and Jemma had left and Akiko had waved them goodbye, unsure if they had seen her. It didn't bother her however as Henry, Sairyn, and Devon were still present.

Devon she had already met but she had barely seen Sairyn around. Heard his name but Akiko had shut herself off in the room for the last two days, needing to gather herself back together. It had been grueling but had allowed her to put her pieces together just enough to be present today. An image of the dead on the beach flashed across her mind and Akiko fidgeted a little. The dead deserved their due respect after all.

"Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't ate yet," Akiko said as she tried to strike up a conversation away from the beach. She was kind of hesitant to give Henry an answer yet. The spirits were surely gone but Akiko didn't want to push herself yet.

"Have you two had breakfast as well?" she asked Sairyn and Devon, squinting at their cups of coffee. "Don't want upset stomachs at the funeral later, well, if ya'll go. I'm sure the souls won't mind either way."
