If it... eases your concerns any, I have no reason to hurt Kenta or anyone else again. [And if it looks like he's struggling to talk about this, like Shigeru figured he would, it's because he is. But it's for Kenta. For Kenta.]
I told you before that it was for my sister. That she didn't want me to do it. When she died, I disrespected her and Kenta's wishes, and their bodies, and I'm not going to do it again. I don't want to hurt Kenta again.
[After a quiet moment, Duval twists his fingers in the pleats of his skirts.]
That being said... I don't entirely trust myself to not hurt him again, either.
