[Cowards come in all shapes and sizes. Some refuse to look at themselves clearly, viewing themselves through a warped mirror that casts blame on the world and themselves in a favorable light. Some hunch in a delicate web of denial like a grotesque spider, devouring anyone who'd dare break the strands with a much-needed reality check.
Some act like confessing after they're caught is the same as owning up, and shrug their shoulders as if to say "what's done is done, no point crying over spilled blood."
They're all shades of the same chicken shit in Ryuji's eyes.
The Phantom Thieves of Hearts had been born from wanting to break from the society that condoned such weak-willed, distorted lines of thinking; Mondo gets a phantom thief's corresponding condemnation. Does Ryuji want excuses? No. Is he the person who needs convincing? No. That Mondo has made a murderer of himself beyond justification is something they can both agree on.]
She's the one who believed in you, Oowada.
[It's what Fujisaki, and Mondo himself, are (were) holding onto in their hearts that matter, not Ryuji. But he doesn't get a chance to say that before he's greeted with the dial tone at the end of the defensive rant.
He growls into the receiver. So that's how it's going to be, huh? Still hiding.
Well, it's a small world. Mondo can run, but the one thing he can't do is hide forever.]
