You really can't figure out such an obvious thing?
[ He can feel himself getting frustrated now, like years of resentment is bubbling to the surface. A huge part of him wants to end the conversation there on a terrible note, respond with something like 'if you can't figure it out then we're done here'. Still, he acknowledges that his father did save him, so his assumptions have been proven untrue. It doesn't erase the hurt or how he felt all those years, but's something. ]
You barely showed up at home. Before coming here, I didn't even remember what you looked like.
[ Toji isn't wrong. His father did save him, so he owes him his life. This might not be the first time he's owed him his life either, because he's starting to suspect that the only reason he survived Shibuya was because the spirit of this man stopped his own reanimated body from killing him. He can't assume that Toji doesn't care about him because there's evidence to point otherwise right now.
But having his feelings brushed off like this is still annoying. It still pisses him off and he knows his feelings aren't rational. Maybe the other man only cares enough about him to keep him alive, but he isn't a parent - not the way fathers act in the movies. It feels like he'll never get what he wants from this man. It's a strange thought to have, because he can't even pinpoint what he really wants.
He's just frustrated and can't figure out why. ]
I already said thanks.
That's it then. [ Probably best to end things here because they aren't going anywhere. ]

[ Oh. So this is where Megumi gets it.
There’s a long pause, and then another message sends through: ]

[ And believe it or not, I don’t want to lose someone else I care about. ]
no subject
... That's why you saved me?
no subject
why else would i?
[ He doesn’t really want to talk about how he feels like a failure of a parent when his wife told him to take care of Megumi on her death bed.
It’s a conversation he can’t bring up to Megumi right now. ]
i am sure it’s obvious i am not a good person, kid
