[Had Vision held any delusions that he was different enough from the humans he calls friends to be immune to their emotional outbursts, this moment would have relieved him of them. All at once he feels anger welling in his chest--that his rationality would be questioned this way, that his concern for Wanda would be made suspect-- but it is doused almost as quickly by concern. And deep sadness. Is this how Pietro truly sees him?

He knows, logically, that whatever he feels is easily dwarfed by how Pietro must feel. And that he deserves to feel this way. Still, Vision finds himself looking away as he speaks.]

I know I am not--[He stops. No, that would not be honest.] I am human enough, Pietro, to empathize with others, and I was there while Wanda worked to recover from losing you. That is how I know how she feels. Her choice not to tell you was...unfair to you, but it was her choice. Had I known her wishes I wouldn't have said anything.

[He sighs. That feels terrible to say, but it is still true. This isn't his fight, but he made a mistake, and now he has to live with it. He takes a small step forward, bringing his eyes back up to look at Pietro.]

Please believe that I am truly sorry you found out this way.
