[ It’s because it’s the most obvious thing in the world that Kondou says it. Because while it may be so, sometimes things need to be said instead of taken for granted. He never wants Souji to think that he doesn’t care for him, but given the rough time they’ve had of it the past few weeks, there can be no such thing as being too careful. After all, how he responds now will affect their relationship for a long time to come. It may make or break whatever it is that they have left, and so he needs to be cautious.
But there’s also the fact that Kondou has always worn his heart on his sleeve, that he has no qualms about blurting out his thoughts on any subject. More often than not, that tends to get him into trouble. ]

[ The question is a genuine one, and there’s a lot of confusion in his tone. Part of him likely realises just why it is that Souji feels that way, but perhaps some small part of him is trying to avoid the issue. If it’s brought up, what will happen then? They could fix everything, or completely ruin them. Something tells him that there’s no in between in this case. ]
