[ Ryuji looks fairly impressed by that, eyes widening and an interested look being thrown Akechi's way. ]

Eff yeah, man. Take shit into your own hands, that's the way to do it.

[ He's so proud of you, Akechi!! But then he describes the date with Anna and that... that gets Ryuji to look rather upset. Surprisingly, on Akechi's behalf rather than Anna's. ]

That's not cool. The hell does she mean "huge bummer"? It's your mom. You did everything for her.

[ He sighs, lifting his free hand to scrub through the back of his hair. ]

I'm sorry, man. She seems kind of... normal? I dunno if she understands the kind of stakes you were trying to deal with. I bet it took a lot out of you to try and get her to hear you out and havin' her react like that sucks.
