[They haven't talked about it. In the initial period after Akihiko had come free from his corruption, while he was recovering at the crystal itself, Shinjiro had barely been around. If he had no choice but to hold Castor's leash again, he had to ... make it count, somehow. He's tried, failed, even had a couple of successes.

He made a second wish for the suppressants, while Aki was still out of it. Hidden the mark on his throat that had followed with turtlenecks and his high-collared coat, but -- it shouldn't surprise him that Aki noticed anyway. That was the natural conclusion to come to, after all. Shinjiro was terrified of what his Persona was capable of, and he had no other options to corral it, if push came to shove. Considering his wish stacked upon Aki's, he's not sure what would happen if he tried to unwish it, so he won't. It's something he bears under without a single word of complaint. He's just about to ask what his friend wants for dinner after they're done with changing his bandages, when that outburst comes out of him.

Shinjiro sighs, hands stilling at Aki's back. He doesn't answer until he's reapplied the disinfectant ointment and tied off the bandage completely.]

I wished for 'em, yeah. Haven't needed 'em yet, bein' able to come out during all this mess seems like it's satisfied him for now, but you never know.
