[He can feel his face warm up with her that close. He's given up, by now, denying that he has feelings for Kotori. But there's so many reasons that it wouldn't work, and so many things that just are more important right now.]

Thank you.

Kotori, the thing is... Back home, my father- He's in trouble, and it's my fault. [He sighs, closing his eyes tight.] There was nothing I didn't do to try and save him. He's my dad, so even if I had to cross some lines or... Or do things I wouldn't normally do, I didn't care.

[Part of him wants to look and see how she's taking this information, but he can feel the tears starting to form, and moreover, he cannot bring himself to look her in the eye right now.]
