[It takes Ryou a moment to answer back, because that does sting, and it makes him want to lash out at Emporio, but...the difference between Emporio and Ryou is that Emporio's a kid.
Ryou really shouldn't.

Nothing is going to justify this to anyone else. No one can understand what I've gone through, and what brought me to this end. That's fine. People can hate me. You...you can hate me too. I wouldn't blame you.
I suppose it isn't really a justification. It's just an explanation from point a to point b, but no one has to accept it.
[Very few had. And he won't force the matter. It's not right to.]
Still...I did something terrible, to further my ends. As I said, if you would prefer not to accept that as an explanation or interact with me, I will do what I can to keep my distance.
