Because I'm Satan and I ruined everything for you, apparently?
[ ryo would really like it if akira could overlook all of that and decide his friendship with ryo is more important than billions of dead people, but he knows akira is nice. so. ]
He turns his head in the opposite direction, frowning.
How jealous would Ryo get hearing again that the most important person was taken from him.]
I forgave you because we’re in hell where we belong. But it’s hard to just forget what happened. It’s hard to just forget burying Miki’s family and Miki and moving on like I didn’t.
Knowing I failed, that I couldn’t protect them. And now seeing it happen again every week we’re here.
Nothing changes, right now. I still don't remember anything so I can't make any decisions based on what you just told me. So, I'll proceed as normal... for being in hell.
[It's hard not to feel offended by the lack of trust coming from Ryo's objectiveness. (Ryo isn't wrong; something key is missing.) He's just a full-throttle emotion kind of dude.
So it stings with a twinge of irritation--that his word isn't trusted, that he's supposed to trust Ryo--but he pushes it to the back.]

What's happening here isn't my fault.
[ yes it's satan but an inferior, alcoholic satan. he knows that wasn't the point but. ]
I just want to know if you would prefer it if we avoided each other here. Be honest. Would you rather not speak to me again?
no subject
I know that.
[Damn more inferior Satan.
The question makes him turn his head back, expression surprised.]
No? [At least the answer doesn’t have any hesitation.] We can’t avoid each other here anyway.
I told you I wanted to be your friend.
no subject
this is enough to please him. it's fine if akira says he would still kill him if he has to as long as they remain best friends. ]
Just had to double check, since we're being honest now.

He doesn’t even know how to navigate this any more after being dead. Truly wishes he could go back to being ignorant…]
What are you going to do now?

Okay.
