[... Just when Cilan thought he couldn't dislike Junko Enoshima anymore than he was already capable of, it turns out she manages to prove herself yet again: he can already feel the shudder of ice crawling up his skin just at the mention of her name when it comes up, an immediate sign that what Sonia is going to say is not going to be pleasant.
But, he lets Sonia keep talking without interruption, and as he listens, that feeling of disgust he has for Junko Enoshima wanes slightly, or rather, is over-powered by a very different emotion, one that causes him to reach out and take Sonia's hands in his own. He doesn't say anything though, not right away, but there's a small warmth here that she might be able to feel, perhaps an attempt at providing comfort before he does finally speak.]
This might be strange to hear me say, but... I'm really proud of you, Sonia. It must have taken a lot of courage to confide in me about this, and... I'm really happy, to be considered worthy of your trust.
[But then his expression falters a little, looking down at their hands rather than her face.]
... Before I tell you the rest of my thoughts on this, may I ask you something? You said that you might have done terrible things, but you don't remember them... even so, despite not remembering the actions you've taken, do you regret that those things happened nonetheless?
