[Ban said and did things he regretted all the time. It was no surprise that admitting his own failure hurt just as much as the other terrible things, but he hadn't exactly known why it hurt that badly.
Then, he figured it out. Ban gave King an arch look, remembering their personal dynamic. King was the one who fought against Ban's excitement and cruelty. He was kind and reasonable.
Alongside them was Meliodas. Instead of admonishing him for his unreasonable attitudes, Meliodas would always try to be nice when he was drunk and obsessing over Elaine. He enabled his excitement and praised him on his successes.
King was disappointed in him for good reason, but he knew--Meliodas wouldn't care. He'd forgive him for betraying him and even for failing Elaine. The whole time, Meliodas would just want to cheer him up.
So, Ban smiled, full of hate.]
That'd be better--if we fought. I don't think I could take the alternative~. [Forgiveness.]
