Mizuchi to Micchy. He was probably thinking about it the entire time they interacted in ep 25, and maybe even still thinks so. And maybe that's not a bad thing, and they should discuss it.

Think about it this way. Micchy thinks that he used to be this horrible irredeemable monster, but now he's changed. And yet, he is still that very same monster deep inside, and he must hide it from everyone, because his friends will totally drop him the second the truth about him comes to light. But to Mizuchi, Micchy was never a monster. He was always that good sweet kid who needed guidance and looked for something more in life, and he is still the same kid, he just found what he was looking for and is more honest with himself than he ever was. Pretending to change but not changing at all is not that bad when you were okay to begin with, and Micchy might need to hear that from someone who knows him well, who has seen him at his lowest before. To hear that he was never evil, that he was never broken or wrong or undeserving of love, his circumstances were just shitty, and both brothers acted accordingly, because they were kids and they never knew any better.

In fact, Mizuchi is the one who truly hopes to change, because his defeat and Micchy's sacrifice made him reconsider his vapid self-centered lifestyle. He is the one who will be trying to "come back right" and be a part of his brother's life once again, now without judgement or pride clouding his vision.

Opposite of "came back wrong" is "stayed exactly the same." Oh you want so badly to pretend that you have changed. You changed your face, you changed your name, you started leaning into a whole new role, but I know you. I know you. I know who you used to be, and I can see that person shining through you still. You can fool the world you can fool your friends you can fool yourself but you will not fool me.
