[he looks away]

... Personal reasons. Sorry. I don't like talking about it.

[that said - ]

But some habits stick. Like trying to help people, or wishing I could do more for them. So... I don't think I can take back my apology. Sorry. I'm sure you can handle yourself... I just hate that this situation makes you feel like you have to.

Is it because the justice you wanted and the justice the police delivered were different?

[ beat ]

You don't have to answer that. It just reminded me of what Greed said last week, when we had the first trial. Because that's what we're supposed to be doing... but it doesn't feel like that at all, right?

[he looks thoughtful at that, as if he's trying to figure out how he wants to answer]

... I think 'justice' is a tough concept. I'm still figuring out what it is - after I thought I was really sure.

So... in short, yeah, I guess. We're supposed to be chasing after justice... but this is a pretty broken system of it, right?

[ she nods. ]

I don't really get what we're supposed to be doing, so I don't think you have anything to feel responsible for. And I think that's part of why your apology was bothering me.

[sengokus]

Ah...

[he tilts his head before offering up a sheepish smile]

Sorry about that. It's been beaten in my head a couple times here that I might take this all a little personally.
