Well, at least Togusa gets it, because yes, this whole ordeal has been a real trial as it preys on Malik's insecurities. The silver lining to that being, he's done this so many times that he's starting to become fatigued to the constant back and forth feelings of vulnerability and inadequacy, so it's not weighing on him as heavy as before.

He does roll his eyes at Togusa's little comment, though. "Don't call him that."

"I'd want more than him gone, though. All the past life stuff needs to go, too. If it really is optimal and I get the final decision, I want all traces of Retrospec meddling gone. That includes the last two years of my life... Just get rid of all of it, I don't care. They owe me that much."
