Motherly Love.
and without the silly quote, because I can't decide which one I like best:
In the Separation Arc, we see Reigen tell a young Mob that is doesn't matter whether or not he has powers, all that matters is that he's a good person. This is immediately followed by our slightly older Mob returning that exact gift: telling Reigen it doesn't matter whether or not he has powers, all that matters is that he's a good person.
And they both desperately needed these assurances from each other. They saved each other from drowning in guilt and self-loathing. And they weren't wrong.
But they weren't exactly right either.
The Confession Arc exists because they both need to grow beyond that point. Confronting the fact that these things do matter—that they can't just ignore Mob's powers, or Reigen's lies. "Being a good person" does not unmake the part of yourself you wish wasn't there. Those parts of you still don't define you—that was right—but they still matter, and they still have to be faced.
Going to that next level is just... gah. This writing is so good.
Reigen: It’s already dark, guess I lost track of time. —Sigh—- Another day passes…
Mob: Master Reigen: Those were such good times…. Mob: Master Reigen: Time passes so quickly. He’s an adult now, out living his own life…. Mob: Master…. Master…. Reigen: I miss him. I can still hear how he used to call me. Ugh I’m hopeless.
MASTER!
Mob: It’s been a while, Master Reigen Reigen: …………. Mob?
Reigen: You…..Why are you here? What are you doing here?
Mob: I was thinking back to old times, and I wondered if you’d miss me at all, so I decided to drop by.
Reigen: Idiot! Of course I do! Mob: I was only kidding Mob: Master, I was wondering if you wanted to go get some drinks, since I’m in town. I’m twenty now.
Reigen: Well… um, I’m not really much of a drinker. (Thinks: Can we pick something else?) Mob: But I’d like to get drinks with you. Reigen: Uh….Well, we both know I can’t say no to you. Mob: Just one drink
Mob thinks: ah… he’s only had a few sips
Reigen: You’ve really grown up.
Mob: You’ve gotten older too, Master.
Reigen: Ugh, don’t remind me
Reigen: So you’re in college now yeah? You doing okay?
Mob: Yeah
Reigen: You ever encounter supernatural stuff anymore?
Mob: Occasionally But every time I do, I think of the things you taught me and the things we’ve been through together. And it’s through these experiences that I’m able to live a normal life. Reigen: Haha you’re giving me waayy to much credit.
Mob: No it’s true, meeting you was the best thing that happened to me.
Mob: Uh…. are you crying? Reigen: Of course not
Reigen downs his drink in one go and falls forward onto the table Mob thinks: Has he had too much?
Reigen slurring: Moooobbb Mob thinks: Is he okay?…He’s really falling apart. Reigen: Awww look at your chubby cheeks, just like when you were little. Mob: Ugh not this side of him
Reigen pets his hair for a bit. Reigen: But… real talk. I’m really happy to be able to see you again.
Reigen: Mob…. you’ve grown up into a really good person. Mob: Of course I did…. I’m YOUR student after all. By Gamtga on twitter
