Okay well that didn't work either. What is he doing wrong?

"Do I..." What was there to regret? I mean aside form all the misunderstandings that made Verity cry. He regrets those a lot. Okay. You can do this, Katsuya.


"The only thing I regret is ever causing you distress. Which I have, on several occasions. And those I regret." He cannot be more clear than that. "However, I do not regret promising to be there for you, offering you a safe place in my home. That I didn't mind caring for you. You would have known had I not been sincere."
