[Slightly confused, Dist's kneejerk reaction is to ask what he could possibly be wrong about in a defensive manner, but he's stopped cold by Kato's words. So for a good moment, he just looks shocked, mouth slightly agape from when he made an attempt to get defensive.]

[That had legitimately not occurred to him until just now. He had no intention of burdening Kato with his personal struggle, so he chose not to say anything until it got dragged out into the open. But he was thinking about it the wrong way. Partners help each other overcome these things. He's not used to it at all, but as it sinks in he actually looks relieved to be having this realization.
He cranes his neck slightly allows his head to rest in his hands, shielding his face from Kato. He rubs at his temples too to make it look like he's not just emotional or something, but he might be. Just a little bit.]
Of course I'm not. I...I apologize for taking so long to realize that.

[Maybe moving on actually is a possibility.]
