[Don't misunderstand, Livio. It's less that he has nothing to say, and more that Livio has given him a lot to chew on. He's actually trying to think about what he was told before he goes running his mouth about it, like he's wont to do. That therapy coming in clutch here-
Anyway. He watches as Livio essentially tries to pull back into himself, and since he's not looking back, Wolfwood is safe to allow his expression to soften as he flicks the lighter again.]
I love you too. ...I still can't believe I'm able t'tell you that, even now.
[Click click.]
I don't...have you back home, anymore.
[Which he means quite literally. He hasn't seen the future. He doesn't know if he ever sees Livio again. He just remembers what he saw, and he knows that isn't something even someone that can immediately regenerate is coming back from.
He stares at his own reflection, warped back at him in the metal of his lighter.]
And I don't really stop to tell ya how thankful I am that I got this second chance. Here. And...
You're right, y'know. About all of it. So let's...I dunno.
[He shifts, his head turning to rest against one shoulder.]
I wanna be better. [He echoes the first thing he ever told Mizuki, in his first therapy session.] For you. Vash. Everyone else who's gotta deal with my ass. And that's gonna start with me doin' whatever I can to to make this easier on you.
