[He looks away briefly, working his jaw.] ...The first time I killed someone, my mentor told me to remember that a lot of people were alive because of me.

[Baby steps. He's not about to tell Mio that she did the right thing by killing her sister--he doesn't know enough to say, to be honest, and he feels it's up to her to decide whether she did or not. He's not going to tell her to forgive herself or stop hating herself--those things might come in time, but they won't come now.
