[Relief is . . . It's a surprise. Dio's witnessed a variety of reactions from those who found themselves awaking in the hospital. Most of them have been with underlying discomfort, however, and never with relief. But this man, he's relieved to know that there's a connection. Even if it's distant and there's no telling how much time has eroded it. He's soothed by it, even when he should question it. He should perhaps question it even more than Dio is right now given that there's little indication that he remembers exactly what Dio does and the contrasting memories certainly don't fit neatly with such declarations.]
[And yet he's relieved. He's smiling. Dio doesn't return the smile, glancing away instead.]
You are a stranger to me otherwise. I believe the same is true for you.
