[He tenses when Milady just vanishes, but it eases quickly enough. It's a lot less intimidating when there isn't a hovering guns-under-skirt spirit visibly watching him, after all.]
I... see. I get it.
[And... he thinks he does, really. Even if Haru's father had been a terrible person, making her go along with that arranged marriage, she remembers him as someone different. If she really thought she could bring him back... of course she'd do whatever she could.
He's still not completely sold on the morality of forcibly going into someone's soul to change them. He's certain he doesn't want that ever to happen to him, because he wants to make his own choices, even if they're wrong. But he can understand Haru, at the very least. He can understand Haru, and Ryuji with Kamoshida. He can understand the feeling of wanting to fight, to do whatever one's capable of to try to change things.
He shakes himself out of his own thoughts, lowering a hand he hadn't realized he'd brought up to his lips.]
I'm... sorry about what happened. And, um... I'm sorry I brought it up, too. I really... didn't mean to pry and get involved like this.
I have to understand that perhaps Akechi-san didn't have a choice. There was a possibility that Shido would have gotten rid him if he didn't do what he did, I'm sure of it.
[Her fists are clenched. She hates Akechi to an extent, his actions altering her life to an extreme. She hated to think about it. She hated so much to always be conflicted about what she should think or how she should feel.]
Please, do not worry or blame yourself. I know you are trustworthy.
[Perhaps he didn't have a choice. A possibility. Hajime's lips twist into another frown, gaze returning to the floor for a moment. Maybe that's true, and he didn't have a choice. But he won't know until he asks Goro himself.
A sigh, then he looks back up, frown fading into a small smile.]
I'm glad you think so. I'm... gonna have to talk to Amamiya and the others, huh...? I hope they agree with you.
