"That was different."

Not that Inigo knows exactly how, but he at least knows that he and Asen are different - so that's enough reason for him to be able to say for sure that this time and that time were different. Maybe something in the circumstances, the difference between them, enabled Taiki to be able to do so back then, even though he isn't able to do so now.

Whatever the reason is, Inigo doesn't blame Taiki. He never would. He knows the other is doing his best, even now.

So he reaches out, able to wrap the other into a hug now they're both close to the ground.

"It's okay," he says. Maybe not the state of this world. Maybe not the despair Taiki must be feeling. But all the same, Inigo just wants to say.. "You're doing your best. And if this doesn't work, we will figure out something else. You're not alone in this."

Because Inigo is not going to let Taiki be alone in it. Not ever. Maybe that's why the train threw him out, despite Inigo not intending to leave. Because Taiki needed someone to be there with him.
