[He says that to clarify. Even though he had agreed to comply with the perimeters of the last mission, he was far from a tool at the disposal for anyone in the Order.
But...he can't deny how Jusis seems to sincerely care for Ash, and seems to truly want to help him. Not just help him, but sees him as family. It doesn't seem like it's some Order line claiming that everyone in the Order is "family" - it hardly seems to be that kind of organization.
He'll turn away so his back is facing Jusis, before he lowers his hood. Jusis will be able to see the head of green hair that is no doubt Jun's. It's easier to speak with his own voice than through that modulator. ]
Possessions don't just deteriorate on their own. As long as one upholds their contract price, they should remain stable.
[In other words, this isn't just happening out of the blue. Something changed with Ash. And Jun has a bit of a guess to what. He has to swallow and take a moment to collect himself, as this isn't an easy topic to talk about]
...Ash was always a fighter, even before he was possessed. He'd always choose to fight, even when it seemed wiser to comply or hide. It's just the kind of person he was.
Our last day at Krusnik, he and the other children were locked in the gate Krusnik used for training. They had no protection against the monsters within. Knowing Ash, he would've chosen to fight until he couldn't anymore.
[He couldn't see it any other way. Ash just wasn't the type of person to run an hide. ]
For years, I thought no one made it out of that gate. It was such a surprise to see Ash again. [He pauses] ...But when I look back on the time he's been here, how he acts...I wonder if for all these years, he never actually left that gate.
