[Don't wait on him......... He remembers Ryo's inner laughter at him before, the way he thought it felt condescending somehow. He doesn't want to hear that same laughter again if he tells Ryo about Miki's head in the flowers in the closet. He doesn't want his human love laughed at like he's a silly dog.]

I never forgot.

[The whole issue was he never forgot. Even when he was angry, when they fought, he was twice as angry because he hadn't forgotten they had been best friends. That a best friend had done those things to him. He thought Ryo had forgotten.

So it's very funny they won't talk about things the way they should.]

Even if there's ever someone else like that, you'd always be my best friend. As long as you don't betray me. [He curls his hand over his own chest, over the heart.] I'm still human, Ryo.
