He's saying that to help him cope. He's not personally attacking you, he's distressed. He's trying to put distance between himself and the situation so he can work through this. I understand what you're saying, I owe everything to my friends too, and I'd never agree to him saying we shouldn't have them, but this is the first time he's facing friendship being actively used as an attack against him and he's trying to deal with it. He's making bad jokes and relying on black humour to process what we have to do here.
Not everyone copes the same way, Hiryuu-san. This isn't the time to have a conversation about the importance of friendship, it's only going to distress him further if he accepts that.
[ well. that. actually does in fact help quite a bit as far as shutting her up and getting her to realize that she actually hasn't been understanding things from Mars's perspective.
in part because he doesn't explain himself well, and in part because she lives too much in her own heart and traumas. TOO BAD the explanation came too late for her argument with Eclipse.
SHE'S GONNA JUST. TAKE A MOMENT. to breathe. and reign herself in. ]
I see what you're saying. And--I'm sorry. I'll tell him too.
[Mori watches her visibly reign herself in and feels very proud of her in that moment, nodding. She might have gone too hard on Eclipse, and that's another discussion to have, but seeing her stop and consider things and rethink is a tough thing to do, especially in the moment, and he gives her credit for it, smiling softly.]
I think he'll appreciate that. Mars-kun is a lot softer inside than he lets on, don't believe he means everything he says. I'm sure, if we're gentle with him, he'll come to accept these things a lot more easily in time.

[ but that's no excuse. ]
I'll have to try harder.

Try to be gentle with Eclipse-kun too? He's coming from a similar place.
