[She's...crying. That's right. He thought he saw her cry--when he's made it back down from Tartarus that night, and again on the rooftop on March 5th. She'd...cried.
In a strange sense, he feels inexplicably proud of her. Aigis is so much more than she ever thought she was--so much more than a robot, so much more than her programming. She has her own thoughts, her own feelings, her own heart. This just proves it, doesn't it...?
At the same time, though, he knows he's the cause for those tears, and that hurts like a knife. He'd always just wanted everyone to be happy, as happy as they could be. And yet every time they show up here, he's the one who puts these expressions on their faces.]
Aigis...
[Her hands drop, and he reaches out instead to take one of her hands between her own. See? He's solid. He's real. For now...he's alive.]
Don't apologize. You... don't have anything to apologize for, so please--
[Don't...say sorry while looking so heartbroken. But he knows he has no right to ask for that. Really, what can he say at a time like this besides:]

It's good to see you again, Aigis.
