But for Ichigo, it's more that he's finally had time to think about all of this, to breathe and inspect what just happened. That, along with the obvious disapproval and perceived rejection from most everyone here...

So while he wants to say something - wants to tell Akira that he still loves him, he ....
...he can't. Not now. Maybe not for a while, until he's done blaming himself for everything that's happened and holding onto his hurt.]
...Yeah. I am.
[And he turns around fully, not watching Akira as he leaves, letting his head rest on the beanbag.
...
