[ Midorima stays quiet for a moment. He hasn't had to make any decisions about this. He's avoided criminals here. Weiss isn't a criminal. Except she is? ]
What did you do?
[ That makes a big difference. He doesn't know what he thinks of his life getting more difficult, of the potential danger (the fact that she has to say it means its a possibility, even if she doesn't think it will yet). Voicing dissent does not a criminal make-- and if it does, then yes, he is in danger because someone who would view that as a criminal act is someone who wouldn't stop at doing the wrong thing to get what they want. He can't just say everything's okay to something like that- he barely has any information, and it's a lot to just drop on him when he's never had to deal with something like this. Eichi's got a lot of guilt, but nothing he did was criminal. Minor annoyance, sure, and nothing Weiss can say is something that he can hold against her but... he needs to know what that means here. ]
How is it going to affect you here?
[ Is him standing by her side going to put the other people he cares for in that "difficult" situation too? ]
