[Makoto continues stroking Nagito's hair as he listens. He wishes that he could convince Nagito isn't worthless. But instead he listens. When Nagito says the last words like a terrible confession, Makoto squeezes him tighter and whispers.]
...Can I be honest with you, Komaeda-kun? I'm glad you lost your luck. All that you've gone through because of it...I can't begin to imagine what you've gone through. But here, you're free. You can meet people without worrying about your luck harming them. You can experience joy without fear of losing it. For the first time in a long time, you're free. I'm so happy for you.
[He gently pulls Nagito away from his embrace to look him in the eyes.]
But I understand that it'll be hard on you too. After all, you relied on that luck just as much as you suffered from it. But know this, no matter what happens, or how you feel about yourself, I'm glad to have met you. I'm glad we're friends. And I will stay by your side for as long as you will have me.
