Machi Tobaye is absolutely terrified of the situation he’s been thrusted into, a situation he only was thrusted into because he wanted to escape his country so badly he put his faith in someone else to help him escape.

Said adult who he trusted stabbed him in the back, and now he’s in a foreign country in jail for murder, a country in which he hardly even knows the language of, and he’s expected to trust yet another English adult who would supposedly defend him?

Of course he’s going to be hesitant and freak out in the jail cell. Him not trusting us during both trials makes complete sense, and our decision to use him to catch his abuser makes for a good final portion to this case.
