[He'd been gradually losing his angry steam with each successive statement, so by the time he's done it's pretty much all gone. And in its absence, he seems to realize that losing his temper was definitely not something he should have done with Mahiru, of all people. Even if he hadn't exploded in quite such a spectacular (or deadly) way as the last time the two of them were alone, it's bringing back uncomfortable memories. And he can only imagine how much worse they are for her. It's enough to actually get him to scoot back a few inches on the bench and try and relax his body into the most nonthreatening posture he can manage. THERE'S NO BAT UNDER THE BENCH THIS TIME, HE SWEARS. No Peko hiding behind a tree or anything. At least as far as he's aware. If there is, she's got a lot of explaining to do.]

We may not be able to remember it, but this isn't just something that any of us can pretend didn't happen. I'm not saying you have to wallow in it, because that's not the right thing to do about it either. But it's not just "crimes that are in the past now", y'know what I mean?
