I know you are... [Well at least he's looking up now, even if he's not actually looking at Shuichi himself. That makes it easier to try and dry his eyes, though he has to get a second tissue now.] You did a lot of really awful things, but...that doesn't make you an awful person. It's the killing game that drove you to do those things...that's what's really awful.

[He continues drying Kokichi's eyes, even if he still won't look at him.]

That situation was just so horrible and so beyond what any person should ever have to go through that it's not fair to judge you based solely on the decisions you made during it. You and everyone else who was forced to play. [tsumugis georg is an outlier and shouldn't be counted.] You weren't the only one who made bad choices because it's what you thought you had to do, even if you...admittedly made the most.

[He's not going to pretend you didn't just to try and make you feel better, sorry. He pulls out another tissue and holds it up to Kokichi's nose.]

Blow.

[Get some of that snot out before he continues. Because he has more he can say if you still don't believe him.]
