[ right, so — clearly there's something more there, something that maybe explains how difficult it seemed for junpei to talk about her that first time they'd talked about all this.

slowly, he starts moving one hand up and down junpei's back, his other arm still tight around him. ]

So... let me get this right. You went to all that trouble, for someone who you hadn't seen in years and who ditched you after the first shitty game with no explanation?

[ sorry, but that sounds — like she didn't deserve any of his effort, actually, and this is coming from the guy who died for someone he wasn't even friends with. but there's a difference; because a good person doesn't just walk off without a word. a good person wouldn't let junpei go through all he did, just like that. ]

She better have apologised for making you go through all that just to find her.
