[he sighs. he knows how the kid feels, but he's - bad at talking.]
It's not like that - I'm not disappointed in you. I understand, because I feel the same way, about Yagami and - when I was your age, I thought I had to grow up as quickly as possible too, to prove that I could be on my own. But when the time finally came, that wasn't an issue anymore - it was the loneliness that did me in. I don't want to be lonely, and I don't think you want to be, either. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[a pause]
Taking in Light was no decision I made lightly, and I didn't do it because I think he deserves it. But I want to give him a chance regardless - everyone deserves a second chance, and if you live your life never trusting anyone, because you've been hurt in the past, by friends, family or even lovers, then what kind of life is that? Light has hurt people, yeah, and I don't doubt that he'd be able to do so again - which makes it all the more important that I make sure that he doesn't. That he realizes that he doesn't have to lie to people in order to find a place anywhere, to be accepted regardless of mistakes he might have made in the past. And all things considering...I think he's on a good way, now.
Please, just... trust me on this, that's all I ask. I won't let him hurt anybody. However, if you're really not okay with it, then - then I'll ask him to leave. You are more important to me, and I don't want you to think otherwise.
