Yeah. [It's a simple word, but it has enough gravity behind it for her to be assured he truly does understand what it looks like and how bad it is. He frowns heavily, thinking on the idea of apologizing even though he knows he should.] I know...I need to. That was my fault and it's not really Ami's fault that she happened to be caught in the crossfire or whatever. I'll fix it and apologize to her after some time apart. I can't right now. It'd seem fake.
[For him to say it when he doesn't quite mean it yet, and for him to do so so soon after they'd ended things.]
Tadashi tries but even he can't please everyone. ["Especially himself, apparently." But he nods.] I understand that. I wouldn't expect anything else. But...I think that's completely fair. I think he'd feel the same.
[And finally he shakes his head to tilt the hood back just a bit to see her better.] I really am sorry about all of this.
