[He takes the time to consider the question, while they walk. He's answered so many times before with 'what happened is sad,' but Soo-won has seen a little more of him now, so he'll answer a little more thoughtfully.]
I'm usually not able to hold onto feelings like that for so long. Either they explode, or they fade away. This was probably the longest I've ever been able to. But then. . . I fell asleep last night, and I woke up, and it was gone.
[Before Thursday he hadn't taken a single nap.]
Everything else is still there. My family, my home, the people who've hurt me. . . and now Shiro-san and Yoshizawa-san, two wonderful people. I'm very sad about all of those things.
But I think it might be a while before I'll feel like that again.
[ . . . hm. he looks thoughtful at that, and then tilts his head. he wonders if mob's relationship with his emotions is good or bad - but then that wondering ceases. it doesn't really matter if it's good or bad.
it's what it is. so soo-won nods]

[even though it's near impossible to tell - he seems a bit more serious today, somber to match everyone's tone but.... he doesn't express it in the same way that others do.]
I'm sorry that you're sad as well but - it shows that you still care about those things, right? But perhaps sometimes the easiest way to show that care in the moment is simply to keep walking forward - and see how we can save the people we still have.

At least... that is what I think.

I think so, too. At least, I agree with you.
