[ he had hoped—— he doesn't know what he'd hoped. this is the sensible answer. the truly correct and justified answer, if megumi's being honest. ]
you're right. it's not a comfortable thing to think about, but you're right about it. it's better to know before it gets more serious and end up being hurt by something i could've avoided.
but if it does turn out for the worse? then what do i do?
Tell yourself the worst answer. Decide what you can live with. It's not up to anyone else, Megumi, and if you can stomach the truth in favour of the boy then that's all you need to know.
( He understands, really he does. There is pity inside of him for Megumi and all of his vast feeling. It is good that he is finding things to strive for. Geto wishes only that he hadn't ended up with something so difficult. )
I don't think you're the kind of soul to be fooled. And from what I know you value heart. So presumably he has one.
[ certainly that is one way to approach the matter.
but what is the worst answer? that hikaru ends up killing entire cities of people? he's forgiven yuji for that. made his peace with sukuna's abuse, too. ]
i haven't had a reason to think he doesn't have one. but i could be wrong. i've been wrong before.
i think... if i'm wrong, at least this time i know what i should do.
thank you, geto-san. these aren't easy or comforting questions that i keep asking you.

( At least Yuji is one of Satoru's students who likes someone normal. He knows about Okkotsu and Megumi now. )
I think knowing is better. You might get attached and discover something worse down the line. Then it will hurt much more than it could now.

And I hope your boy is someone you can trust. If he isn't, let me know. I have many tricks up my sleeve. I'll help you handle it.

keep safe, geto-san. don't let my old man push you around too much.

Also I'm telling him you called him that. I think it'll be funny. Stay safe, Megumi-san. We'll talk soon.
