[ It's not like he wants to see her cry, but he's relieved when he sees her finally letting her emotions out. He was well aware that Mio's a good actress and it worried him that she was hiding her true feelings. The last thing that needed to happen was for her to suffer alone, he wanted to be there for her and give her comfort that she so desperately needed.

If he's the only one that can comfort her, then he's good with that. As selfish as it was, he wanted to be the one that makes her the happiest in the whole wide world.

The mention of her killing someone does cause the color to drain from his face. Not because of her actions, but because he was reminded of his own recent memory. How he wanted to execute people without a single shred of remorse. It's almost laughable how similar they could be at times. ... Even in their memories. ]

Mio, you're not an idiot. The you in this lifetime didn't do any of those things. I'm not going to condemn you for your actions because of the things I did in my past life but I will say, it's awful that you have to remember such things.

[ Her laughter is pretty unsettling and he can't deny that he was spooked out by it. As terrifying as it was, the choked sob that followed after hurt his heart more than anything. He keeps his grip on her and brings his hand to stroke the top of her head.

He frowns a little when she says that she forgot about him. It hurt him how much Satoshi mattered to her but it's not like he could do anything about it. He was a part of her memories and that's something he needs to accept. ]

Does it matter to you, Mio Sonozaki, though? It's not like you wanted to forget... about him.
