One of the deepest points where Aki and Angel intersect is their awareness of death. Aki knows his lifespan is being drained day by day by his contracts. Angel is death itself touching him means dying, and that very existence makes him resent life. That shared understanding creates a rare kind of resonance: they don't romanticize the future, don't dream of "someday," they only exist in a fragile present. They know some feelings aren't meant to be held onto, only to exist quietly, then disappear along with them.
Fujimoto once said he wanted Angel to be a character who accepts being controlled-and that doesn't apply to Angel alone, but reflects directly onto Aki as well. Angel accepts Makima's control out of hatred for his own power and existence. Aki accepts the loss of his lifespan, accepts being ground down by the devil hunting system.
Neither of them struggles to survive.
Aki and Angel are two lives that willingly walk toward death-like riding the last train of their lives together.
