[No, those implications were not lost on him, those hints of other attempts on her life aside from this, and the look of stunned, hurt surprise that crosses his face as it hits is a fleeting one.

'When'? He wants to ask. 'Why would you feel that was an option?'

There was so much he didn't know about her situation, stuff he never bothered to ask or things people never felt to tell him, and having it all crash down now was overwhelming. Never mind that killing herself would be pointless, when there were means to revive her almost immediately, but the fact she wanted to harm herself in such a way to begin with...

But then she tosses back his thoughtless words like a dagger, and he can't help but flinch. The grip on her wrist tightens for just a moment, before sliding loose, pointedly looking away from her.]

I honestly should. You really don't deserve it.

[If it was who he thought it was from, which it seemed more and more likely it was. But instead of acting on it, he drops her wrist and walks away, retrieving his phone from the ground (with thankfully minor damage), and beginning to search his bag for something. This was becoming pointless. The longer he was getting wrapped up in this, the more time he was taking away from finding Leon's body, and if Mio wasn't going to cooperate in the end...]

You really are selfish, you know that? Don't you think other people won't care if you do something like that to yourself? That they won't hurt just as much if they wind up losing you, too?

[His back is turned to her as he digs through his bag, making his expression unreadable, which... probably was for the best. It was easier to say these things when she couldn't see his face.]

That's why I'm not taking that from you. It should be a reminder that there's people out there who value your well-being, even if you clearly don't.
