not by what kazuya says, necessarily. it’s logical. it’s perhaps too logical, considering what he knows about what kazuya’s world went through prior to his arrival here. but it’s just… he just doesn’t think he can understand how he can take such a measured look and approach to the situation. makoto had never done a single thing for his world—the only kindness he had ever truly given it was taking himself out of it before he ever actually hurt anyone. but even then, he had burned with an irascible wound at how he had felt rejected by it. ultimately, it didn’t really matter; no one from his own world had owed him anything of the sort. but to someone like kazuya, who had seemingly suffered just as much as the rest of them if not more, only to risk his own life and make what might be considered a great personal sacrifice to try to help it? he just doesn’t understand the level of magnanimity that he has. if makoto had done all of that only to be shunned and rejected yet again, well. he’d probably try to burn the whole place down.
but they are two very different people. kazuya might joke about taking over the world, but makoto would heavily consider it, less out of personal desire and more out of simple spite. )
It seems to me like you’re just forgiving people for giving into their prejudices. You may be a demon now, but you were a human, and it’s not like you’ve become some completely different person.
( he frowns. what an alien thought, having people who might fall under fire for continuing to support him. though makoto supposes it might not be too strange here… so many people have been accepting or at the very least indifferent of him and his morbid desires, but certainly not everyone would be, right? he understands the thought of wanting to retreat away from it all, if associating with him suddenly put those he cared about in trouble (or inconvenience). )
You could try to protect them from that. Though… I don’t know. That might not help.
( how to defend some humans from other humans, without the latter latching on to the idea that you’re some sort of threat? )
I guess. But this time might be useful to try to think about it and prepare as much as you can. I’m not saying all the time, but… it could be an advantage if you decided to use it that way.
( he’s certainly been treating his time here like that. if he can’t get a wish from finishing the game, he at least wants to have pieced himself together as a more intimidating demon. well, either that, or just making sure he doesn’t get too out of practice just in case he had to go back to work for datenshou… )
