What you're playing at right now isn't real friendship. If you give 'em the truth, they can decide whether they hate you or still wanna be your friend. That should be up to them, not you.
...I really thought Nico got it. And maybe he would've, if I hadn't gone and screwed it all up killing Reigen. I've already ruined everything on my own. Again. Like always.
Well, then maybe it's time to look at why you keep doing that, take responsibility for it, and work on doing better.
Like I said before, put everything you got into bringing the dead — and especially him — back to life at the end of this thing. Even if you can't make things right you can make them better.
Buddy, look at yourself, things already suck. I don't think anything you could do in this situation would make you hate yourself that much more than you do right now.
Look, I know I'm not your favorite guy, but I'm here to help you out with this if you want. I could ask the three of 'em to meet up with me without saying what it was about, and you could tell 'em the truth there. Having someone else in the room would probably help keep things from gettin' too ugly if you're afraid of that, and I can tell 'em I advised you not to say anything at first to take some of the heat off you and put it on me.
Nah, nothing cowardly about accepting help when you need it, if it'll actually help get the job done. Sometimes being able to do that's its own kind of bravery.
Anyway, it's true that we told you to keep it to yourself at first, so it'd be fair to get some of the blame.
...I'm planning to use an item tomorrow to make me forget I killed. To keep my thoughts safe, and in case anyone tries to backtrack to finding Reigen's killer again.
When [ not if, when, bc he is merciless ] you tell them, it can be when Saturday is long over. Frankly, it just adds to the truth - that you were afraid.
[ probably, unless the evidence starts pointing to someone they care about who was acting reasonably on the information they have and didn't kill reigen.
hopefully that's not a bridge they'll have to cross. ]

Sue me for not wanting to torch every good thing I have here just because I should do the right thing.

Why should I want to make things better if it means everything for me will have to get worse?

need to get that "if" changed to "when", but otherwise that sounds a little more like he's on the right track.

But after that, when you're out of the woods...
