Reira is, if anything at all, a good listener. She listens easily and quietly, and does well not to interrupt. And she tries to think of the people Dio is likely describing- at the very least they were both around at Christmas so she can take the guess that maybe they're not Terrible? Actually if anything Dio is saying the problem is some other Him being terrible to Them, so hm.
It's not very fair to judge someone else for that- she's probably said that before though, and... Awful things.
"...I killed Tsukikage once."
That's pretty awful. She doesn't look directly at him when she says it, sort of focused on the wall as she gets it out. "...It wasn't an accident, either. I mean...I don't think it was supposed to be him, but it still happened. And I don't think saying I wasn't all me is a very good excuse. I was still mostly me, and that means it was still mostly me that did it.
"I don't think it's bad though, to want forgiveness. Even if you only realize it later, it's important. It's just hard- and...I think Tsukikage still remembers when that happened, and still gets a little scared thinking about it. And that hurts, on both sides. But...
"It wasn't 'thoughtless'. You put a lot of thought into it. Because it matters now to you, and you want it to be better. If you don't ever try, how can you make it better then? So it was important to try. And..."
She pauses. "...If it means anything, I think they'll at least realize it one day too. They just have to stop hurting a little more first."
