Ritsuka, whether you belong in my world or not isn't my business. [Not anymore. Not since Soubi was forbidden to belong to him.]

[He takes a long look at the sad, drooping child. This boy is torn and upset not because he really believes he doesn't belong in that world. He's suffering because he knows that he does. Poor Ritsuka. The one who isn't weakened by not having love, still all-too-humanly desires it. But it's not only that that makes him miserable. It's his being caught between his fears of what it means to be part of that world, and his inner knowledge that he can't be otherwise. Soubi aches to try to straighten it out a little. To gently suggest that Ritsuka should try being otherwise, and discover how much a part of this world he must be. But he knows that Seimei would be displeased. And when he closes his eyes at the end of the day, it's not Ritsuka's pain that will haunt him, but Seimei's orders waiting to embrace him.]

[So he settles for a standard repetition,] It's not about what you want, or what you think you want. You know that.
