[He thinks of Oda on the beach, telling him: he tried to kill himself. And he didn't want Shuji to know, because he didn't want Shuji to blame himself.]
And they're precious to you, so why - why don't they realize how precious they are? What could you have said, what could you have done to convince them...?
[As if there was any way Shuji wouldn't find out sooner or later, as if there was any way it wouldn't be agonizingly painful.]
But - it's not about you. It's that they were suffering, and you don't want the people you love to suffer.
[Whatever pain Shuji felt, it had to be nothing compared to Oda's. Or Yeager's. As much as he dislikes that man for causing him pain, he doesn't deserve-]
I don't want Jaeger to suffer. So - please. I beg you, please.
