Micchi closes his eyes. Zack can say he's happy to see Micchi, fine. But he wasn't there to see everything Micchi did. And who was left to pass on the gossip? Nobody really.
You're just glad anyone survived, he thinks, biting his tongue so that he doesn't say it. Where once he would spit poison now it's easier to simply stay numb and say nothing. You lost enough friends that now you'll even put up with me just to have more remnants of the Beat Riders around.
"The things he did to me don't matter anymore," Micchi suffices to say instead. Latching onto that is easier than anything else Zack has said. "They mattered back then, before. When that was my entire life. They don't matter now." Micchi lets a small amount of breath out of his nose. "I'd probably be better off with niisan still making all the decisions for me. If anything has been proven by this whole situation, it's that."
