[This is hard for Kindaichi to stomach. It hasn’t been all that long since the fall of the King, and yet Kindaichi has spent so much energy hating Kageyama, even the thought of forgiving him feels like nothing short of defeat. He almost wonders if he might be imagining all this. It wouldn’t be the first time...
[To see him own up, apologize, admit regret for his actions...It’s something that Kindaichi truly never expected - wanted, but never expected. Now that he has it he doesn’t know what to do with it. His heart aches painfully as he reads the words over and over.]
I shouldn’t forgive you, you know. I don’t know if I can.
[Listen. This isn't what Kindaichi expected or intended either, and he's a little shocked that Kageyama seems to accept the offer, considering that this conversation started out as a drunken confrontation about having his heart broken. Actually, this is incredibly weird, and he feels a little nauseous thinking about it - that might just be the alcohol catching up to him though.
[It's too late to back out now, right? Kunimi is going to be so irritated if he finds out...]
