Nephrite had never been especially good at reading between the lines, but what he could see was that Ami was hurting. And that as much as she said it was better this way, he felt it might be better for the group, maybe, but not for her. His fists closed in tight balls as he wished he could punch Kunzite again.

He tried to think of something they could do to get rid of Kunzite. If he couldn't contact Mamoru from jail, maybe Ami could talk to her friend?

"Can't you ask your friend for help? She's dating Mamoru isn't she?"

Or... there was another option that would hurt him badly, but he had screwed up already and he could endure it if it kept her happy in the group. "Or... do you want us to end it, and if Kunzite says anything you say that I forced you or something?"
