Kotone, look at me. [He'll give her a few seconds to do so, before continuing in a voice that's somehow stern, despite the condition he's in. It's like he wants to make sure she understands.] No one was able to control themselves, that's what the wish seeds did to people. You had even less control than when Phoenix controlled me-- other me. And you didn't kill me.

[Scott leaves out the part where Kotone might've actually killed him if Ryoji didn't arrive just in time. They don't know that for sure, so why bring it up? Maybe she should've stopped before the final blow, maybe not. Don't think about it. He doesn't want to think about it, it's behind them now. It feels like a mantra that he keeps repeating to himself, because that's for the best. Kotone shouldn't have to feel guilty about this-- even though he knows that's impossible for her.

He'd feel the same way in her shoes. If he lost control like that.

He just wants to ease that as much as possible. And it's not like he likes recalling those memories either. It's not often he ever feels that way with her, wanting to forget something, but she wasn't herself.]

If you can still trust me after that, why wouldn't I do the same for you?
