[Ryou listens, then laughs softly and shakes his head.]
S-sorry, sorry. You're right, that...I shouldn't think of myself so poorly, when you've cared for me so much. You wouldn't have done any of that if you didn't think well of me.
But...you are the most important monster in my life. I would do anything for you. Anything at all that I could to prevent as much of your suffering as possible.
[Except, unfortunately, this one thing. It's a sacrifice for something greater, something that'll benefit Ryou, but also those who he has to protect. For the moment, though...maybe he'll just focus on the one person.
He finally closes the distance between them completely, pressing their foreheads together.]
You deserve the world and more. If we were anywhere else, I'd give it to you.
[For a moment, his mind wryly clarifies if you were anywhere else, this wouldn't be real.

Ryou chooses to ignore that.]
