Kitahara amazes me. If I did the same thing he had, saying something to someone whose care I was responsible for, and realizing that I was ultimately responsible for the misery they were suffering due to it years later, I don't think I could have recovered. At least not as quickly as he manages to. He almost immediately picks himself up from the guilt, because the alternative is letting Oguri hurt longer.
Kitahara Jo, the GOAT.
