[It's like she's taking his words and saying them for him, except he hadn't known them until now. But the surprise doesn't end there as IV numbly stares down at Rio's back. Her bowing to him in the sincerest show of apology he's ever received doesn't give him any sense of satisfaction. Even though she owes him and everyone else this, it doesn't feel right.
While it's true that he might not understand – and he's not sure that he wants to, just as she's also said – this shouldn't be happening. The one apologizing and bowing like that, putting aside all dignity to let the burdensome weight of a choice slide off one's shoulders, shouldn't be her. Yet she's doing and done it, and IV pauses after he opens his mouth, for once deliberating his answer. His brows furrow when Ryouga inevitably gets brought into the picture.
Ryouga can say whatever the hell he wants if/when he ever comes around. Right now, it's about Rio. If it bothers her so much – ]
