--To Ryouga, I hope you mean, and yes, I have considered that.
[There's that regal tone she uses when she's trying to conceal something. Even if she'd been comatose for years, it would've paled to what happened to Ryouga, something that's going to stick with him for the rest of his (current) life. Physical scars stay with you, but they don't hurt the way emotional ones do. Even the Numeron Code couldn't correct that.]
But when I look at him now, I don't see the conflict I heard in his voice when he would speak to me. I think he's realized, too, that the score is rather more even now than it was before, don't you think?
[They were only loosely related circumstances, but they've exchanged their share of hurting one another, at any rate. Perhaps now that the need for so much pain is over, they can set that aside and focus on recovery. Rio turns her head to look him up and down.]
I am not capable of pouring so much energy into holding a grudge even if I wanted to, and besides, trying to make up for your mistakes is only as good as the one on the other end receiving your efforts. So... I think it would do us both good.
