[To be quite frank, 2-D didn't really expect much of a positive reaction from Rebecca. Not that he told her all of this specifically to get one out of her, he just wanted her to know that he genuinely felt awful for what he'd done and was apologetic for the things he said. He didn't expect forgiveness -- hell, he'd almost prefer that people didn't forgive him so easily. He can't forgive himself, either. But at the same time he's very grateful for those who have and.. well, even with his memories of years of abuse and mistreatment, he always hoped Murdoc would turn around and be his friend. And it's a little similar, here.
Even after he did the worst thing a human could possibly do, and he understood the extent of his actions, he hoped everyone would turn around be kind to him. He's a bit childish in that regard, and Rebecca, one of the best friends he's sadly made in his.. life, was the one person that hurt him the most when she treated him sharply. So at first, when she responds with a softer tone, telling him that she's thankful for his explanation he's not entirely sure how to respond fully.
She was the only one who didn't let him off for what he'd done, and in that regard the only one who was giving him a real sense of... consequence. Something that hurt so much coming from someone so kind, but at the same time was a little bit.. not comforting, but reassuring of the fears and guilt he felt over stabbing that girl so many times. Part of him wants to reply maturely, and tell her that she doesn't need to forgive him and that now that he's been able to get that off his chest, he'll let her come to him if she's ever ready to.
But the other part, the childish part, is just so... damn happy that his words actually got to her, and she responded in a bit more of a positive way. Because of that conflict in feelings, 2-D's knees end up just buckling under himself and he falls to his knees with a big, relieved sounding sigh. Like a bunch of pressure was just lifted off his shoulders, and he felt like he could breathe again.]
....thank you... f-for hearing me out.
[He wraps his arms around his stomach, a small smile on his face that he hides by looking at the floor for now.]
And, um.. about that letter... i-it was stupid of me to try and give it to you. I shoulda' just waited, and I'm sorry for that, too.
