It's better to be a bad pupil that follows her heart than a good one who lives the way someone tells her to.
[that's what akira thinks, at least.
but then, despite akira's sometimes gray-morality, he's always had a pretty black-and-white view of what's right and wrong with following one's heart. there are definite wrongs, when one's heart is used as a tool for harm....
but when someone has the choice between living freely in a way that makes them happy, and following the drone of society or someone else's decree, he'll always side with freedom.]
It doesn't mean you'll be free from pain, because I don't think anyone can ever be unless we become apathetic drones. But at least... your choices can be your own.
