Aikawa does look like he wants to be slinking out of here -- not because of anything Bucky did, but more because of his own guilt and awkwardness. The person Bucky'd been speaking to up to now is someone he'd rather ignore and pretend doesn't exist, and what is he supposed to do when someone he considers a friend by all accounts has to see it? And that's not even considering the memories piled on top of that.
But as he's trying to slink away, he pauses, and wilts a little, glancing back at him. It's a test of will, to run away and ignore Bucky's trauma being laid out before him in favour of trying to sweep away his own, or to not.
Some distant part of him, a different facet, feels pity. Points an accusing finger from the back of his mind, asking him 'do you think ███████ felt like that?'. ]
