Malik is quiet, glaring, like he's silently challenging Togusa despite the other man's agreement.

"What's happened has happened. In the past... In memories... whatever. My point still stands. The only thing you have going for your little theory is that some of the members of Retrospec seem to be too timid to act out in an unpleasant way. I'm not saying they won't help, but conditioning is a powerful thing... especially if they've been led to believe in a way of life that is inherently terrifying for them. You don't know who's at the top and pulling the strings, either... You don't know what kind of power they have."

There's definitely some resentment. Further down, it's rage at how powerless he is to do anything across either of his two lives. However, like always, he refuses to confront his memories or really deal with them in a meaningful way. He just wants to dwell at how unfair everything is. Same shit, different day.
