(he knows. he's seen the personification of love itself, losing everything to save everything, over, over, and over. all the things takemitchy has done for manjiro, he can't understand it, not after the long list of shit that he had done - takemitchy had always believed in a future where mikey could smile freely.
he's ridiculously loved. he knows that better than anyone. hardly deserves it, but he is. that's what the council has over his head this time, and for once -- yes. actually, yes.
there's no response for him, because he too wishes he had, in a way. it doesn't make him less scared of the person he has the potential to be, but it's not about him. it's about the fact that yu too could have shown him that he believed in a future where mikey could breathe. it's a lot to put out there, may his silence be the agreeing they both need to go with the silence.
eye contact-- his large eyes goggle a little bit at the scene. in a way, he knew they were making some progress, but this came out of yu - not mikey himself.)
... I'd like you to get to know me, too.
(he's not that different. same flaws, better handling, but it's enough to make a difference.)
