[If Kaoru is enjoying Sano's attempts at containing his explosive rage (HE IS), it doesn't show. He's definitely playing his part as solidly as possible, standing his ground and looking offended.]
I can't forget something that never happened.
[Like wow, Sano! Maybe he's Hijikata-route Kaoru!! Maybe he just meandered back off to Tosa directly after appearing to be cryptic for five seconds! That's his story and he's sticking to it. He knows he doesn't have to say much more than that, either way, since there are only so many possibilities to laser-guided amnesia. LYING SURE IS ONE OF THEM but hey, it's not like anyone has proof that Kaoru's AU claims aren't true...
And it's because he feels secure with that that he doesn't feel the need to follow after Sano or continue needling him. A fine line needs to be upheld here, after all; reputation is all in the presentation, and Chizuru will always be a tipping point. So, to his departing back:]
Please try not to misunderstand again. I'm only making sure that she won't regret the decisions she's made.
[They're all bad decisions though, gosh Chizuru. BUT since Kaoru doesn't want to risk his temper flaring up, he'll be taking his leave after that, too.]
