[She'd apologize for it if she knew. Rei's always maintained that he deserves someone solid, who'll be there for him emotionally. She can't be, though. Physically, he's not bad, but she's not really capable of the kind of affection he needs. She knew that when she met him. He's a good friend, but going further? It'll end up hurting him when she burned him up and took too much, and that's why she'd pushed aside the notion ages ago.
It's better this way, Yosuke. Rei is like fire, and fire will burn you.]
Recognition is almost pointless. It's gratifying, but in the end...humankind is fickle and it's fleeting. To be honest, I think it's better not to be recognized. That way people can have their mundane lives, and go on with the lie that there aren't monsters in the closet or demons lurking in the shadows. It's safer that way. For everyone.
