[The ninja's faint smile disappears all together as he recognises how serious the issue is, and Light has the attention from all eight eyes. He pauses, digesting the man's words before he sighs and shakes his head.]

Reira-dono.. Seems like every time I try to alleviate that worry, he ends up twice as much so. I wanted to just provide for him enough. I'm not upset that he did help... Just more of the fact that he had to get involved like that.

[He goes quiet as he collects his thoughts. 'your worth isn't in your sacrifices'. Something in those words makes him want to protest, but he's not sure how to. He's never thought of it like that.] I just merely wish the best for him. Sometimes, even if it doesn't make him happy, I'll still do a task. His safety is also entrusted to me... and my track record here is something far from satisfactory.
