In my family, the Kirigiri detectives...objectivity is something that's of the utmost importance. To be able to appraise a crime scene, personal feelings can't get in the way. Or...shouldn't, if possible.

For someone like me, who's been raised to see the world like that, it's hard to understand a decision that's been made from the heart. Especially when it's something like forgiveness, which requires setting aside other factors for the sake of...kindness. And decency.

I don't...forgive well. It's hard for me, and doesn't come naturally. At school, I treated it like a betrayal when there were things you wouldn't tell me, rather than trusting you or trying to understand. But the things I did to you were much worse, and even when I know I deserved it, you haven't blamed me.

From a position of objectivity, I've benefited from your kindness on many occasions, and several of them were when I deserved much worse. It's...unbalanced, to be able to look at how I've treated you next to how you've treated me. That's why, for a while, I've thought that it might have been easier if you'd hated me, because...at least it would've been the natural consequence of my actions.

But when I say that I want to protect you, but not because I feel guilty...

What I mean is that...it's not because I'm trying to make up for something, that I care about you. I care about you because you're Naegi-kun. Because...you're an important person to me. I don't want something like that to be because I feel indebted or obligated. It's because what I feel is...

...

Hope. Among other things.

text; okay back to being serious and in character

[ Holy textwall, Batman. All right, give him a moment to read all that. ]

I've said this before but you really have changed. The Kirigiri-san I first met would never have been so open or even considered writing what you just wrote, I think. I remember something you told me when we first spent time together, just the two of us -- "There's no value in letting others know how you feel."

And now you're here telling me all of this. So... thank you, Kirigiri-san. I appreciate it. You're an important person and you mean a lot to me.

The me you first met was more afraid than I was letting on. I was missing so many of my memories then, and I didn't want any of you to know that.

...It's wrong to say I'm glad about the things that happened at school. But I'm glad that I met you, Naegi-kun.

I'm glad I met you too, Kirigiri-san. I don't regret coming to Hope's Peak, despite everything that happened there.
