[This figures. He really shouldn't be surprised anymore, yet here he is, surprised that Ryo doesn't understand. He leans back a little, enough to allow him to drop his forehead against Ryo's own.]

I told you already. You can't have me and the demons. If you want the demons, you'll always have to kill me. If you want me, you won't be able to have the demons. I'm sorry, Ryo. I'm not trying to make you choose.

You're going to have to decide what you want more when you go back. No matter what I do when I go back, demons will always be there because you're there. Because nothing I say can stop you from trying to help them, no matter how far back I go. If I don't become Devilman, they'll kill me with everyone else. If I become Devilman, I'll always side with the humans. If I never become your friend, it won't matter. You'll find the demons on your own.
