[Ryou sobs, his shoulders hitching and shaking uncontrollably. He wants to believe her...he does. But despite her inability to lie, Nanami isn't being objective here. There's no lie, if you don't believe you're lying.
She's not lying.
She's just incorrect. He's sure of it.]
Bat things happen to me, all the time, enough that...that even the ones I love get hurt! My pain spreads...a-across my relationships. Atem...h-he's right. He should never have given up what he did...to help me.
I'm nothing but a hindrance.
[And yet, he finds himself burying his face into her shoulder, as best he can, and crying so hard he feels like he can't breathe.]
Hhh...h-he. He won't...ever take me back. His face...he looked s-so scared, and revolted...
I don't want to cause that, ever again...being kind isn't enough! Helping people i-isn't enough, if...they'll suffer because of me...instead of just this place.
