Ryuutaro's eyes widened in shock for a moment. He wished he could tear this self-blame out of Hayato and punish the entire world for doing this to him. But that was impossible.
Instead he looked up at Hayato with a serious and sincere look, reaching his hands up to place them on Hayato's shoulders.
"Nothing. There is nothing wrong with you, Hayato, not more than there might be wrong with any average person." Maybe he had a lot of problems... Maybe he was difficult to deal with. Maybe he could be scary, maybe he was different. But that didn't mean anything. Not to Ryuutaro and that meant Hayato should believe him.
"There is nothing wrong with you, it's him who's wrong, wrong in so many ways."
Ryuutaro had an idea that Hayato couldn't believe that and it was unsettling. But he had to try, because this was how he honestly saw Hayato and this situation.
