Not many remember that Ryo almost confessed as soon as ch 26. Also it's intresting to see how under heavy fever Ryo almost spills truth from his lips.
Another intresting detail, part about coward, Ryo talks from his expirience, as a war veteran, from all the fighting in jungles, to being a sweeper in USA and Japan. Most of times we can see him pictured as jack of all trades, but for example we saw how he is training like crazy when Kaori is not around, to be in shape for protecting and not worrying her. Also story about clotheth desinger revealed that Ryo is extremly prepeared for almost anything as his coat hides alot of weapons.
Such a small piece in converstaion, but looking back at story, it makes alot of sense coming from him.
