Mmm. [He nods. Yup, he's known about DICE for a while now. The only reason he hadn't told Kaede before now was because it wasn't his secret to tell. But he doesn't get a chance to explain that, given what Kaede tells him next.]

[It's not like Kokichi hasn't accused Kaede of not considering people's feelings before. The incident in the escape tunnel comes immediately to mind. And if he's being truly honest with himself, maybe the leader had been more correct about that than Shuichi had wanted to admit at the time. But to accuse her of doing that now, and in the context of their relationship...something about that just rubs him the wrong way.]

[He frowns, squeezing Kaede a little bit.]

I'm not sure that's something he had the right to tell you... [After everything Kokichi put them through in the killing game...he really doesn't have much room to talk when it comes being considerate of other people's feelings. Even if this is a romantic relationship and that wasn't...the situations are still comparable.] You should have told me about your nightmares sooner, but that's just one mistake. It doesn't mean you never consider my feelings.

[So...don't let it get you down too much, okay?]
