[ It's precisely the very possibility of CERES being dangerous that would get him wanting to help out. Did it matter to him if they ran this whole city? Not one bit. He knew he himself was dangerous as well and that wasn't a thing to be taken lightly in the overall picture.
Especially seeing as with what had happened prior with their arrival and the very real idea that if their worlds weren't gone - and as Hide said - they were still in bad shape and this meant that protectiveness was rising. This was indeed real and this meant that if he could, he'd want to protect his friend from anything that could hurt him as he knew from experience that Hide could get a touch overzealous when he found things that got his interest piqued. ]
Yeah. I wouldn't doubt that.
[ Though admittedly he's had thoughts and questions running around his head that all came back to asking why him? Why was it him who was allowed to be here and not Touka, Hinami or the others from Anteiku? He pushed those thoughts away once more to focus on the one who was here in front of him, being made to realize in a way that he shouldn't have done so much to push him away; those words were solid proof of that and he knew it.
Honestly he did do it for protection. Protection and fear that he'd hurt someone he considered to be one - if not the most - important person to him.
Not considering that it could actually hurt the one in question in trying to keep things from him. Knowing now that Hide really did know about him from all the way back then, he wished he could have caught on and perhaps said something but hesitated in that if he did so, Hide could have been caught up in the whole Aogiri thing and he didn't want that. ]
...I'm sorry, Hide. I know i'm still... as hopeless as ever, but... I didn't say anything before because what if me telling you about what I was got you involved in things and you ended up hurt because of it?
[ It wasn't much but it was at least a minor insight to his real thoughts, expression withdrawn and almost seeming hurt himself as he came into realizing his friend's feelings even if only by a little. Things could never be completely the same between them but it was something he'd like if it was even remotely possible by any means, though he'd never voice it aloud.
Only when Hide speaks again does it start hitting him just how much that Hide might know about his circumstances because few did know who it was that had done this to him. Even if hidden beneath this was a small sense of joy he felt due to Hide confirming that he really didn't think of him any less than when he'd still been completely human. ]
He is. I can never forgive him for what he's done...
[ He regards his friend calmly, watching through his pale white bangs as if gauging something he wasn't outright saying. Watching him but his gaze isn't at all sharp by any means. ]
Since you know about what I am... what else do you know regarding all of this?
