On the other hand, I am 100% in agreement with the snake - JUST TALK ALREADY!!!!
Be it his refusal to teach the monster girls at first, his reluctant stance in bettering his career and now even making no attempts to defend himself against any accusation, this guy is just making things harder for himself and everyone else by remaining in silence!
This isn't Washio not feeling comfortable talking about his past, this is pathological. It's always his students and the book trial snake that have to go to unbelievable lengths to make him take a single step forward, but when anything happens he takes two back.
