I know. He mentioned many times that he would do it again if he had a chance, since he loved the yakuza guy so much. Worst guy to fall in love with.
But it is still heavy to carry those memories, forced to do things he didn't want to, and still try to live on with pride. It must be painful, even if he buried those memories. I'm a human, unable to understand fully what he went through, but I would still like to do something for him to show that I still care about you, I wish to treasure you and I don't want you to be lonely. The hug would show my will to carry the burden with him.
(I can't explain it properly but I hope you get the gist of it)

Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I wasn't clear because my brain hasn't been working lately. But basically I just meant like, I dunno what he could've done for Kei. Because Kei would have interpreted it as pity. But yeah, I totally get you. I just felt like what could he have done to show Kei love or understanding or whatever? I honestly wouldn't know what to do when Kei has that view, so maybe that's why he just let him leave
Hell, it was worse than I thought. Wow. Wow. I can't... That's a lot.
BUT WHY DID YOU JUST LET HIM LEAVE? I would've at least hugged him! Even if I were shocked and unable to speak, I'd feel so sorry for him to the point of wanting to squeeze all the sorrow out of him with a hug.
