You're right. I don't think of him as me. But in a way... I kinda feel responsible for him even so.

He's a bit rough around the edges, but I don't think he's as terrible as he likes to act. He was pretty scary at first, but I think a lot of it is just that he's really impatient and more used to people who'll push back.

[He really doesn't like Ryou's meekness after all.]

It was a rougher time back then, after all. He probably doesn't know how to deal with people all that well unless he's bartering with them.
