[Ishimaru keeps his gaze trained on Mondo as he talks. He is determined and resolute to listen to each and every one to Mondo's feelings! No matter how much they hurt.
First, he's ready to turn away that apology. While he can't deny that Fujisaki deserves one, he does not feel like he should be apologized to. And he doesn't want to consider Mondo a coward for his actions either.
But the last part is what really hits him. His face goes pale in response, the hints of tears at his eyes.]
What?! [He says with a gasp, and then he pauses as he tries to focus his thoughts.]
Ah... first of all, you shouldn't talk about your time here like it's been a waste. You were not a coward at all! Coming to meet with me even if it's difficult... That has to take some courage! That has to be progress!
[But then there's the more difficult part of what he said to address.]
B-but... Do you really think that?! Do you really believe that you could... do such a thing to me?? [Mondo may have some history of association with brotherly deaths, but Ishimaru still can't fully wrap his head around it, especially to the extent of thinking that he could possibly become another victim. It's just unthinkable!]
