[Again, the conflicting emotion coming through from Ryunosuke is labyrinthine, almost impossible to untangle. He's feeling a lot of things all at once; sympathy for Dextera, anger and confusion... While he knows one can't always help one's own feelings, he also struggles to imagine having a friend do something as heinous as what M, did and still being able to call them a friend afterwards.
(He briefly tries to put it into perspective by thinking about how he'd react if he'd found out Kazuma had done something like this, which turns out to be a pointless exercise. If Kazuma had been capable of such a thing... Well then he simply wouldn't have been the man Ryunosuke had admired, now would he?)
Ultimately he's just, too tired and raw to engage in the Makoto discourse further, so he decides to just leave it be for now, focusing on Dex's last statement instead.]
I certainly would prefer it not be... At the very least, I too would like to see violence and revenge kept to a minimum. But I'm also not so certain we have much of a choice regarding our involvement, do we? Not if we want to see our own worlds safe from harm.
