[He nods along to his friend's words, listening carefully. Makoto is right, that people lash out at people when they're angry. When they're afraid. When they're hurt or have been hurt. That maybe they need time, and maybe they'll calm down. It's what he hopes for more than anything in the end, but he's not so naive to think that's what will happen after what he's seen.]
You're a good person, you know.

I don't think I'm close to being as good of a person as you are. What I do, I do strictly for selfish reasons. I don't really care about people other than my friends, and I mostly do what I do because I'm thinking about how it would make them feel. I don't want to upset them, but you? You're a good person. You don't want to upset or hurt anyone for your own reasons.
[If they wanted, he'd burn the entire world down for them. If someone tried to hurt them, only then would their happiness come second.]
My brother told me I was a good pawn. I guess I can't disagree. I do what the people I care about want me to do.
