[The sound of his name - his true name - is the emotional equivalent of driving a railroad spike through his chest and out the other side. All pretense of calm flees him, and for a moment all he can do is give a stare of grief. He stays like this until Ippo and Seimei's words finally filter through his mind. It's just enough to remind him that others - companions that are still living - are likely to need his help.]
...I'm so sorry mother... I'm so sorry I could not save you, now or then...
[He looks up in the direction Ippo is pointing.]
...I see. ...We must leave while we have the chance. There is nothing more we can do for those already passed.
[His utter lack of tone or anything resembling emotion is probably not a good sign.]
