[Maybe he needed some closure. Maybe he needed to know just how she thinks of him after that fight? Maybe that's why he's back? In all of his life, millions of years, he's never been in a fight with a friend before, so... He doesn't know what to do. If she yelled at him for sticking around, then that'll just seal the deal. They break their friendship, never apologize, and ignore each other. The resort is big enough that they could reasonably avoid each other. She has every right to be angry at him.
Does he want that? No, he doesn't, of course. Despite everything, he still wants to hold onto this one thing he has, but losing it seems to be the most likely scenario.
Hearing the door click open, his head lifts up. He has his mask back on again, able to hide his emotions from her. Fully expecting Monika to raise her voice at him again and be hurt all inside, he steels himself. Ah, here it comes. Except... She doesn't. Instead, she makes a small remark. No yelling, or telling him to leave her sight.
Maybe he is just a glutton for punishment. Maybe they both are.]
It isn't as if I have anywhere else I want to be.
[Implying that this is the only place he wanted to be. Be close to Monika? ... Why would he, after everything? They aren't in the elevator anymore and the aphrodisiac is out of his system, but his mind is just as confused with himself as back then.
His eyes turn down to his treats, then back to Monika, pondering.]
Besides, I made a promise to you. [That's right. He made that promise, and... He'll just hold onto that promise as an excuse to be with her.]
