[Oh, wow. That was... a heck of an outburst, but at least Micchy's not holding it all inside anymore. It's good to know he's at least broken through to hear his friend's true feelings and even if he can't help him any more than that, at least getting it out has to be doing some good, right?
Kouta moves forward again to turn Micchy around, tugging the other into a tight hug. He knows Micchy will want to push him away, probably doesn't want to be touched at all right now, but Kouta's pretty sure he needs it when he's feeling so weak. It's okay. He'll share what strength he can.]
Even if there are bad people in the world, you should take a chance to trust people. You trusted me, you trusted Mai, you trusted the team and we had really good times together, didn't we? The way you used to smile around us... That wasn't a lie, was it?
So... you should try to trust others. You should trust yourself. You're already being careful, you know what you did, but that doesn't mean you have to be alone and punish yourself for it. It's part of being human that we hurt each other, but it's also part of being human that we can come back from it.
[He pulls back a little, hands grasping Micchy's shoulders as he gives him another intense stare.]
You know what I did. I killed Yuuya. I killed my best friend. ... do you think I should live the rest of my life, punishing myself, cutting myself off from everyone who cares about me? Is that the kind of life you think I deserve for doing something like that?
