It's pretty funny how Makoto had already started to think that world is all safe and sound. So, when the goddess bitch pulled a fast one on him suddenly, he's as lost as a small child separated from his/her parents. I would say that reveals something fundamental about Makoto's personality. He's basically a person who can't deal with surprises and performs very poorly when conditions suddenly change. It's, perhaps, not a very unique weakness, however. Lots of people ought to be like that, especially those from developed countries.
