[Seto tried so hard to get his fingers to move so he could properly console the crying girl in front of him, but no amount of struggling is allowing him to. The belts that are currently holding him down are tight and impossible to undo no matter how much someone tried. And trust me, they tried. They tried and tried, oh, they tried everything that they could think of, but in the end, they just couldn't free Seto from his bonds. Seto was 100% stuck, and because of that, he has to watch Mary cry and he can't do anything about it.
And it hurts seeing that small frame in that kind of pain. He knows that between Mary and himself, her position is definitely the most stressful. His own position isn't exactly desirable, but at the very least, he didn't have to make this kind of choice. He just has to take the pain until someone decides that it's okay to stop. He just has to stay alive. He just has to watch Mary cry.
However, Mary had to choose. She had to choose between him and everyone else, and forcing someone like Mary to do that is honestly pure cruelty. Out of everyone, she might have been the worst person to have to make this kind of decision so of course, it was Mary who had to suddenly choose who to save and who to hurt. Out of everyone, it had to be her, didn't it? It was obvious that making that kind of choice was going to hurt her in ways that physical pain couldn't.
Seto let out a deep breath, trying to keep his composure and a calm expression, while also doing his best to hide the tightening knot in his stomach.
He's afraid. He's terrified. He didn't want to do this. But he knew Mary didn't want to do this either.

I won't be angry. Promise.
