( A part of Asriel wonders if Ochako will realize that he isn't just speaking about people in general. But... he can't help but think that if someone really wants to make up for what they've done to others, they'll try to do it for ultimately selfless reasons. But, he knows firsthand that there's a lot of selfish people out there, regardless of what they've done. )

( He pauses at what she asks next, offering a small smile. )
