Perhaps... he had been lying to himself all these times. Refusing to see, refusing to acknowledge...
Was it to protect himself... or Ryoma?
"I'll do it..."
Perhaps he had been punishing himself all along. For shattering Ryoma's dreams; for reducing his wishes into something of lesser significance.
Because he didn't want to become omnipotent.
Perhaps all these times he had been constantly praying. That through everything that he did... that Ryoma could better understand him. Understand why he didn't want that vision of omnipotence that Ryoma tried so hard to want to give to him.
Was it a foolish hope for him to have?
"Ryoma...!"
He should have run; he should have fought harder. But it's Ryoma in front of him, how could he possibly...
He wished Ryoma could change his mind.
But Ryoma didn't.
