The past bit him, which hurt, and thus explains why he looks sad and is found poor. To Akira this explanation seemed logical enough. Akira didn't ask any further and also continued looking at the tv. Maybe they would show how the past bit him, that would interest Akira. After a few more dramatic cliffhangers, the show was done. Maybe now they will never know if they ever get back together, if she really cheated on him, who the father of the baby is and all the rest. Not that Akira was really thinking about all this.
