[he nods and then will go to bow at the waist, lowering his head to her]
Not all the details - I wonder if I could've helped more, if I....
[ . . . ]
But I'm not that smart, Lia-san. So I get it, if it's hard to see the places where I was trying to help or bring us closer to the answer. But... I promise I was trying.

[he shuts his eyes for a long moment before he rises, and then shakes his head]
Please don't thank me. I don't... That feels wrong to accept when I still - it was still so hard on everyone, and I couldn't find a way to make it easier.

Oh - Lia-san, hey.

That was all kind of... hard to watch, wasn't it...? But I'm glad the truth came out, in the end...
no subject
... I am too, it feels good to talk about freely.

Um, I don't really feel right though - talking to someone but not making it clear I knew since Friday. I think... I owe you all that, at least.

I think you did help, in the end... So, thank you.

I just want to apologize, and try to do better.
no subject
... I believe that you will. So I forgive you.
no subject
You don't have to, Lia-san. Really. Or at least... not yet.
Let me figure out how to earn it first, if that's okay. [a beat] Ah, I'm really not used to arguing back this much... Being a person is really hard.
no subject
... but you're right, it's best to show it with some kind of act of atonement!
no subject
he's just going to smile at that, it's weaker than usual but no less sincere]
You really care about justice, huh? Then... I hope that I can help live up to that ideal, too.
