[It hurts to hear that bitterness in her voice, that anger. It's not the Rei he knows. He has to keep telling himself that she doesn't mean it. This is a memory. Is he supposed to leave?
Even if he was, he can't. Toki tentatively reaches out for Niko, not expecting it to do any good and maybe she'd hit him, but he can't just leave when she's upset.]
I won't get out! You can't make me leave you! I... I know you're hurt and sad and maybe everything feels hopeless, but... you have a future!
[Though there's emotion and truth in it, it may ring hollow and fake to Niko; a placating promise of a good end when she knows otherwise.]
