[Ingo had, in all honesty, given up on the questioning already. It's a bit of a surprise when Emmet finally does speak. And then...
His reflexive response is to feel wounded. Why would Emmet consider doing that? He can't think of anything he's done wrong; they agreed that things were about as good as could be expected, didn't they? But - then again. Shoka wasn't wrong. That's not exactly a glowing review. When Emmet used to imagine a reunion with his brother, he's sure it was never anything like this. He wanted his brother back, not a stranger who couldn't even recognize him.
(What ties them together now, really? Why should it matter overmuch to Emmet if Ingo wandered off into the fog, when he's not actually the person that Emmet wanted to find?)
But sitting and pitying himself, of the two of them, is ridiculous! It's not like Emmet actually did anything, anyway. Just a passing thought. It doesn't matter.]
Well. I suppose we might have learned more about it that way.
