[Well he is right. Mettaton was real bad at feelings, but he tried, at least, although Mouri now couldn't avoid wondering how much was performing and how much was sincere]

I don't think he ever had someone dotting on him ever before. His past life, then being a celebrity...it didn't sound to me there was someone trying to take care of him.

Despite what he said I think he appreciated your support much more than he admitted. Otherwise I don't think he would have tried to support you like you say he did.

[At least Mouri wants to believe that]
