[Masaomi is silent for ten very dragging seconds. Then...]
She told you why?
[In Masaomi's mind, it's always gone back to that day when he and Mikado forced her out to fend for herself. They essentially ejected her from their little boys club because they were afraid of her superhuman abilities. His thinking may have been warped by Haven, but it doesn't change the fact that by the end of it, he wouldn't have cared if Anri had died. She could sense that, he's sure. She knows. She's avoided him ever since, despite his attempts to win her back. He stopped attempting some time ago. He was the one who pushed her away; it wasn't fair of him to want her back.
He carries that guilt with practiced care and self-deprecation. The thought that Anri would tell Ange about it never occurred to him, but now that it has, his own shortcomings destroy him anew. Of course, she would tell. Ange actually listens. So she knows, then? How much more does she know? Is that why she was so angry before? She already knew how terrible a person he was.
The truth is that Kida Masaomi doesn't even know about what Anri's done to him. He asked for her to do it, and she instantly denied his request. Something is wrong with him, he knows, but most nights he just assumes he's gone insane.]
