[As he watched Soma hand over that red vial to Tau, Kevin couldn't help and note that he mentioned 'candies'. Was this girl someone who could eat that Starling too? Was she human or not? More questions for later... But for now, he gives Tau some comforting words as well.]

Just hold on for a little longer, alright? We're almost at a breakthrough.

[Then he hears out Hanyuu's speech again and a rather complex smile forms on his face. Her words came from a good place, but he could also see the hypocrisy within them. If you carry everyone's sins, then you become a sinner yourself. If you fight monsters, then you eventually become one. Kevin had also thought in a similar fashion that if he continued taking on sins to punish himself, then he could make up for his past failures. And if he wasn't saved by his friends, then who knows where he could've ended up...

As the man who carried the weight of a Stigma and the power of a demon within him... He knew the sins of loneliness and power. That's why he decides to say his next piece with less bravado than he usually projects, but his tone was sincere.]

And if she can't shoulder those sins alone, then we'll share the burden with her. After all, there's three of us here which means that we can split it all even. Sounds like a fair deal, yeah?
