Loves
C-Can I...really have this...? You're such a nice guy... As long as I've got this, my body will be like stainless steel!
This is awesome! What the heck is it!? You're givin' this to me for free...? I feel kinda bad. Hehe, thanks!
Likes
...I can really have this, right? Once I accept this, I'll never return it to ya, no matter what!
Oh? You're givin' this to me? You know me so well! Thanks!
Oh! This one, this one! I gotta have this one! As long as I got one of these, I'll be good to go for ten days!
OK
Oh, what's this? Can I have it? I could probably pawn this off for some decent cash... So I'll gladly accept it!
...Well, if ya don't want it, I guess I'll take it. It probably won't even satisfy my hunger, though.
Huh? You're givin' this to me? Hm...well, I guess I got no choice but to take it.
Dislikes
Hm...I dunno about that... Unless it's food, I don't feel like receiving anything right now.
Hmm... Even if you put it like that... Yeah, I'll give this back to ya. Looks like I can't use it anyway.
Hates
... Ah, I see! I get it! You're sayin' you wanna battle me!
Hey, there are some things even I can't eat, y'know! Jeez, what're you gonna do if I ever get a stomachache...?

Free Time Event Introductions[]
Depending on which Free Time segment during the main story you choose to initiate a Free Time Event with Akane, you will receive a different piece of introductory dialogue.
This section is not yet complete.
Introduction 1
I'll definitely beat coach Nekomaru! You don't know how much I hate losin'!
What should I do? Should I invite Akane to hang out?
Invite Akane to hang out / See who else is around
Then battle me a little! I'd rather fight you than have no opponent at all.
I agreed to become Akane's battle partner and saw my life flash before my eyes more than once...
Looks like Akane and I grew a little closer...
Introduction 2
Nagito can't eat right now, right?
That means he'll think about what he's done and settle down. Not eating is pretty much the worst thing ever.
What should I do? Should I invite Akane to hang out?
Invite Akane to hang out / See who else is around
Yeah, sure thing... Let's go for a little swim!
I spent time today trying to keep Akane from swimming naked again...
Looks like Akane and I grew a little closer...
Free Time Event Dialogue & Option Guide[]
Full dialogue from Akanes's Free Time Events:
Introduction (Page 1)[]
???
Heeeey! Who're you dudes?
It's nice to finally meet you... I'm Hajime Hinata.
Gotcha... And who's this other dude?
...Huh? Haven't we already met?
Oh, haha! I'm sorry! I pretty much suck at rememberin' names, and I've met so many interestin' characters today.
I'm Nagito Komaeda. If you can, please don't forget my name again...
Yo! The name's Akane Owari! Nice to meetcha!
Akane is known as the Ultimate Gymnast, and an all-around super athlete. Rumor has it she's a wild troublemaker, but her athletic ability is off the charts.
However, her basics and fundamentals are all over the place, so her gymnastic routines are mostly improvised. If she's in her groove, she performs splendidly. But if she's not, she loses interest and switches it up.
How self-centered... No matter how you cut it, she definitely sounds like a troublemaker... Even so, she's called theUltimate Gymnastfor a reason, so her performances must be amazing to see...
I...can't visualize her as a normal high school student. I mean, she's got the physique of an Olympic athlete...
Huh? Don't tell me you...
Oh, I get it! So, you have a thing for sexy bodies, huh?
You're being really loud... I know you're doing that on purpose...
Obtained Hope Fragment.
Free Time Event 1 (Page 2)[]
Invite Akane to hang out
Hey...you.
Hm? What?
What's your name again?
I-It's Hajime! Hajime Hinata!
Oh, right! That sorta sounds like your name. Sorry, sorry. I keep forgetting somehow. I'll remember it easier if you keep givin' me food or somethin'.
Are you an animal or something...?
Oh well. Later.
Huh? Wait, hold on. We only just started talking.
Well, even so...I'm not interested in someone who looks like they have low fighting power. Just from lookin' at you, you're probably around a 2. I don't deal with anything lower than trash, y'know?
What kind of measurement system is that...?
Like...why are you focusing on fighting power? That doesn't matter in gymnastics, right?
Gymnastics? What are you talkin' about...?
I mean...you're the Ultimate Gymnast...right...?
Oh, that. Setting records and winning competitions is easy money!
Money...!? You're just doing it for the money!?
Yeah, that's right. I've been doing it since this really persistent old man convinced me to give it a try. I've been runnin' and jumpin' all over the place ever since I was a kid.
You know, it's, uh... What's it called again? That thing where you run nonstop through a bunch of cluttered areas.
Is Akane talking about...that?
It's when you keep running as you jump around obstacles and buildings...
Obstacle course
You mean...an obstacle course?
Oh, isn't that that thing where you get bread to eat!?[1]
I suppose, but...I guess that's not right.
Street fighting
You mean...street fighting?
Yeah! That's super profitable! But I haven't found any good opponents lately.
So you really have done that...
Parkour
Is that...parkour?
Ah, that's it! That's exactly it! That's what the old man called it, too! Well, it doesn't matter what it's called. When you got people chasin' ya, you just naturally end up doin' parkour when you're runnin' away from them. You should try chasin' me sometime. I seriously won't get caught!
What kind of situations do you get into where you need to do parkour in the middle of the city...?
She's pretty crazy, but I'm a little jealous of how cheerful she is.
After continuing my mostly one-sided conversation with Akane, I left the area.

Free Time Event 2 (Page 3)[]
Invite Akane to hang out
You look pretty bummed. Are ya even eating...um... ...Hank?
...My name is Hajime. You only got the "H" right. More importantly, why are you so full of energy?
Isn't it obvious? There's yummy food, soft blankets, my room doesn't leak when it rains... This place is way better than where I grew up.
S-Seriously...? Even in this kind of situation?
Hm? You know how it is. It's not that strange to find a dead body at the dump in the mornin'.
Wh-Where are you from...?
A trashy place where crappy people are all swept together. Stuff like that happens all the time.
How can you say that like it's no big deal? What kind of environment was she raised in...?
Anyway, since we never had any money, I did whatever I could to earn cash.
I even sold my used panties to this noisy pig who kept oinkin', "Panties! Panties!" By the time I was able to legally work part-time, I didn't hafta run away anymore.
So when you mentioned parkour before, you were talking about that... But that probably just laid the foundation for being a gymnast.
What kind of part-time jobs did you do? I'll bet you probably did stuff like manual labor.
Hm...well, I did a lotta things. For some reason, my mom's boyfriends always pushed me into doing weird jobs.
...Huh?
At first, one of them told me all I needed to do was serve food... But I never expected he'd tell me to do it like *that*.
I'm pretty sure Akane is talking about being a waitress but... What kind of waitress?
What did he tell her to do...?
Rollerskater
Did he make you...wear rollerskates?
Oh, what's that? That sounds like fun!
Knowing Akane...I'll bet she'd gladly do that. So then...
Cosplay
Did he make you...cosplay?
Cosplay...? Is that tasty?
...Looks like I got it wrong. So then...
No panties
...
Hm? What happened?
Ah...well...
Well, anyway, I didn't know what to do. I mean, he told me to do it without my panties, y'know? That doesn't make sense, right? There's no way I could do somethin' like that...
O-Of course!
Right!? That would definitely make your stomach cold!
Th-That's not the issue!
What...? Man, you're annoying. Talking to you made me hungry again for some reason.
All right, guess it's time for me to have my fourth meal.
After she said that, Akane walked away in a hurry. Wh-What kind of past does she have...?
I parted ways with Akane and decided to leave the area for now.
Akane's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with her.
Oh right, that's it. I was close though. Anyway, are you even eatin'?
I don't really have much of an appetite...but I am eating regularly.
I see, then it's okay. Whenever I see small things that don't look like they're eatin' much, I can't help feelin' worried. You can't survive if ya don't eat when you can, y'know?
W-Well...it's true that eating is necessary, but aren't you going a little overboard...?
Of course not. That's normal back home.
Hey, Akane... I've been wondering about this for a while, but...about your home...
Hm? It's not that big of a deal. The only major difference is that I have about seven little brothers and sisters, and my parents don't work.
Th-The only thing...!? What the heck!?
Y'know how every time you get a new mom or dad, you get new siblings too? Well...that's why I don't really know exactly how many siblings I have.
Th-That's really messed up... Then...you took on part-time jobs to help support your family?
Yep. I gotta feed the little ones, y'know.
When I had my waitressing gig, I'd sometimes steal...I mean, borrow leftovers to bring home... I got paid an hourly wage and I also got tips too, which was pretty sweet.
Oh, and I got to keep my panties on, too. I didn't let customers motorboat me either.
O-Of course!
...Wh-Why are you so mad?
I mean...you're a girl. Don't talk about keeping your panties on so casually...
Oh...I-I see... U-Um...s-sorry...
N-No...um... I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have asked such personal questions.
... Ugh...this is so awkward...!
Huh, I remember now... I've been yelled at like this before... Back when I was waitin' tables, there was this weird old dude who used to come all the time... He was a gymnastics coach. I wasn't really into sports, and especially not gymnastics...
But no matter how much I punched and kicked him, he was pretty persistent. In fact, he looked like he was enjoyin' it. He kept tellin' me I had an amazing body. He was seriously a gross old dude...
But thanks to him, I was able to move out with my siblings and find a new home for us.
I see... I think that's good, though.
...Yeah.
I think I'm gradually starting to understand Akane a little better...
After standing around awkwardly for a bit, I left the area.
Akane's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with her.
Free Time Event 4 (Page 5)[]
Hang out with Akane
Man, I'm starvin'... Hey, let's go find some food, um...
Hector?
...Hajime. I want to believe she's just playing with me and doing this on purpose...
Hey Hajime! I found a place that might have a lot of awesome things! C'mon, let's go!
Akane grabbed me by my arm and dragged me to...
The storage room inside the old building!
Monomi'll let you in if you just ask her. She sure is a pushover. I found out that there's canned food here. Isn't that awesome! Since there's no one here, you can st...I mean, borrow as much as you want! Haha, it's a canned food party!
Akane's eyes lit up from being surrounded by food. She sort of looked like a little kid. When she looks this happy, it's hard for me to want to stop her...
Haha, score! When things don't make sense, the only thing I can do is stuff my face! As long as I can eat and move my body, that's when I feel like I'm alive. That's all I need.
... That's very Akane...I think, but is that really okay? For people, things are never that simple. She might...have something on her mind.
She sounds like she's trying to convince herself. Maybe what she really means is...
Are you hungry?
Akane...are you hungry?
Yep, yep. I'm always hungry before a meal.
And as soon as I finish eating, that means it's before a meal!
That was a foolish question...
Are you hurt?
Akane...are you hurt?
Hm? I don't have any wounds at the moment. But sometimes it hurts when I get super hungry!
That was a foolish question...
Are you worried about something?
Are you...worried about something?
...Huh? Wh-What are you talkin' about? I don't really worry about things...
...There's no way I'd ever worry about anything!
Really...? Everybody has things they worry about. People feel hesitant or uneasy...and sometimes you just need to vent about it...
That's wrong! I'm not that weak!
*Click!*
Akane swung her arm and hit the light switch. It's only dim but I should still be careful... *Bam!* Ow... And I've already walked into a shelf... Hm? What's that white thing?
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Huh!?
I somehow manage to turn on the light, and... I saw Akane crouched on the ground, trembling next to a white sheet. It probably fell from the shelf when I walked into it.
Gh... Gh-Gh...Ghost...
That's not a ghost... It's just a sheet.
Liar...
I'm not lying. See, look at your feet.
...
...Right?
...
Forget about what you saw just now!
...Huh?
I-If you tell anyone, I'll kill you! If I even catch you thinking about it, I'll kill you! I'll...get you for this!
I don't know if I should remember this or forget about it... But I never thought I'd ever see Akane make a face like that...
For some reason my heart was still racing, so I left the area.
Akane's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with her.
Free Time Event 5 (Page 6)[]
Hang out with Akane
Uh...um... ...Hajime. You made sure you forgot what you saw...right?
What I saw? Oh, you mean when we were in the storage room...
...I'll kill you.
This anger is the real deal... I don't think she's just embarrassed about what happened. S-Still...I think everyone is scared of something! Plus...it's normal to be scared. And you're a girl so...
Stop it! Just...stop it. Don't treat me like I'm weak...
Huh...?
I...I'm not weak... Being weak is bad. If you get kicked around and beat up, or cry and scream that there's no food or medicine, no one'll help you. And the next time I say someone's name...I might be talkin' about a dead body... That's...the kinda place I grew up in. Weak people die and there's nothin' you can do about it! No matter what happens, you can't complain!
...
What's...wrong with being weak...?
...
It's normal to be weak... Humans feel overwhelmed sometimes...and even cry... I know I do, so what's wrong with that? I don't think real strength means you don't accept your weaknesses...
I think real strength means you overcome them.
... It's weird... When I talk to you... I feel like...I'm getting really weak or something.
I was much stronger when I was alone! Stop sayin' things that don't make sense!
Akane... How...can I get through to her...?
I need to explain this in a way that Akane will understand...
Two heads are better than one
There's a proverb, "Two heads are better than one"...
What's a proverb...?
Explaining that might be a little too harsh...
Too many cooks spoil the broth
...
...
Doesn't that mean...food gets ruined when there are too many people in the kitchen?
As long as we all run a red light...
Um...how should I put this...? Y'know, as long as we all run a red light...
You can't do that! That's dangerous! You'd get run over!
Y-You're right...
But...I get what you're tryin' to say. When everyone's together, they can make up for their weakness... That's what you mean, right?
But you can't run a red light! Not ever!
Y-You're right...
She's probably sensitive about stuff like this because she has younger siblings.
You're not weak at all, Akane. You don't need to try so hard by yourself.
...
...Especially in this situation, we should all work together and do our best. Right? I offered my hand and Akane cautiously gripped it. Just as I thought...her hands were very warm.
Coach Nekomaru...said somethin' similar. But I didn't understand so I didn't listen, but... Somehow...I understand now. Your words make sense to me.
Wow, Hajime... You... You're warm. This is the first time I've ever felt someone this warm.
Akane gripped my hand tightly. I feel a strong bond forming between Akane and me... That's right...we're not alone. We can move forward and overcome our worries and hesitations. I hope Akane, who's been living alone her whole life, is able to understand that, even if it's just a little.
After talking to Akane about some other things, I returned to my cottage.

↑When Akane refers to "that thing where you get bread to eat", she's refering to the Japanese athletic event パン食い競争 (pankuikyōsō lit. bread-eating race), often seen at school sports events, where competitors have to grab bread hanging from a bar with their mouth and finish the race with it still in their mouth.
