"You really couldn't tell an obvious lie just to make me feel a bit better, huh..?"
He's trying really hard to make it sound like a joke as he lifts up his face to look at Taiki, but it's hard to pull off jokes when he's been crying so hard. Even now his voice sounds choked, the tears still visible on his cheeks. At least it doesn't sound accusatory in the slightest - it's so much like Taiki to be realistic, even at a moment like this. Even when Inigo just really wants someone to pat his hair and tell him everything is going to be fine, even though nothing is ever fine. Nothing has been fine for years.
".. Thank you, though." He means that. "Even just that already means a lot to me. That you wouldn't willingly abandon me without a word."
Because even while logic dictates that it's not what Yuki did, or will do if Inigo watches him walk off the platform.. It still feels a little like it in the parts of his heart that have been weakened by constant rejection.
