Emil: Feels terrible about it, but knows it was something he had to do. He feels terrible that he essentially led her on for a couple of... weeks? IC month? in his moment of weakness, because he didn't want her and Yayoi to fight. Which. Clearly didn't work! And as time went on, he remembered more and more of his own feelings for Marta. There was also the issue of him hating Zwei, and Ratatosk hating Echo. It made everything very, very complicated anyway. But... that was only a peripheral for why he needed to break up with Echo. He couldn't actually give her his heart or tell her she was his most important person.

Ratatosk: Thinks it was about damn time Emil stopped living in denial. He mostly feels relief over it-- it was the most awkward thing, dating-ish someone you can't really stand...

Sssso is Katou going to hate Emil forever for this?
