[ He's been holding off because it's Ango. He's always been soft with his friends, but between the fact that Ango is going to run so far from him in his current time, and that there's something in his future that's big enough to make him leave the Mafia...
[ He is afraid because the largest presence in their shared lives has been missing in the information Ango has shared. He doesn't want to know what that could mean and he doesn't want to play with the idea of what would get him to leave.
There's a quiet laugh at Ango's words though. Lifting his head to look past Ango. ]

I'm being selfish here. I don't want anything to change.
