Obviously, that didn't happen.
Because honestly, Yata concerns Sousei. His clinging to the past, his refusal to let the dead go is something that's dangerous. Sousei has experienced that. Sousei has experienced losing people he didn't want to lose, people that he wanted to cling to with everything he had. He had Kiiko to help him through it, so he ended up recovering healthily enough, but he knows how it could have gone if he didn't, and he's concerned that Yata is going to go down that path. It would be all too easy to end up torn between the past and the future in a place like this, and Yata needs to choose his own future before spectres of the past.
But...well, he did proceed to impress Sousei a little then. When Yata agreed to take all of the consequences of his actions and keep on going with his head held high, then Sousei wanted to believe him. It is, after all, what Sousei preaches as well. Always keep your head held high, always be the last one standing. You can recover after that. You can fix things that went wrong after that. But first, someone always has to be left standing.
He wants Yata to be that person, honestly. He doesn't want to see Yata stumble or fall because this place throws curveballs at him like the return of his dead friend. But it's also not his place, necessarily, to interfere. Yata isn't his protege like Soramaru is. Sousei doesn't just take people under his wing for the hell of it. (Don't believe his lies, he totally does.)
So for now, all he can do is trust Yata's words and see if he can figure it out for himself. But if he does stumble a little, then he might be willing to be there to drag him back up to his feet--probably none-too-gently, but understandingly, because he's been there before. And in the meantime, he'll just observe from afar, because he thinks that there is a lot to admire in Yata's determination and strength hidden under his irritatingly loud and obnoxious exterior.
That said, he's still irritatingly loud and obnoxious so Sousei is definitely not going to be seeking out his company thanks.
