The question should've taken him by surprise, but it doesn't. He's quiet for a moment, definitely contemplating lying at first, but the moment passes and so does his chance. If Nimona really doesn't care, though... if she won't tell... if she's like him and cares about people she likes over people she doesn't, doesn't care about the reason...
He's quiet, but he lifts his eyes to meet Nimona's, and his voice is steady when he speaks. ]
[ The smile does little to reassure him— it makes him more confused, actually, mostly because he's more used to tirades of "murder bad killing evil". That, and he'd been steeling himself for having to explain why. ]
Why didn't you like her?
[ For Hanako, at least, he was indifferent. They'd never really talked. It's the only reason why he could do it. ]
And I said I wouldn't have been able to help that. It's not like I can be awake just because I wanted to, or I'd have been awake each time trying to see who's doing what.

I mean, I was gonna aim for the middle of my hand so that it wouldn't a pain, but Temenos bonked me with his staff.

Yes.

I thought so.
[she shifts, and reaches to take his hand.]
I wasn't looking too hard on purpose, with the apples. [...] I didn't like her anyway. So.

[shrug. she knows that she isn't a good person. she's okay with it.]

[ He likes Reigen so by default he'd side with him over Janeway's objective search for the truth or whatever ]

Anyway. Deducting more points since I told you not to be awake on Thursday night, you brat.

[ As for Janeway... he doesn't know. ]
I wish I'd run into Whisper instead. We were in the same dorm and everything...
[ And he didn't think to check that she was still there, first. Surprise guilt attack hurts ]
no subject
... Yeah, but you probably would've had to kill her. [she says, looking up at the ceiling.] If you'd seen Whisper first.
I'm glad you didn't take her out.
no subject
[ He sure of this. Whisper's his friend, and more importantly, she never pissed off anybody else he'd consider a friend. ]

Thanks, Nimona. We're going to dismantle this place no matter what.

[ stares at canon where he's trying to destroy the world...
but he'll deal with that later. Tonight, he can just be here with a friend, and zzzz ]
