Spoiler for ch 6:

When I read the RAWs I thought Toru was saying something else in the end when he was explaining things to Hijiri. I thought he was going to say "My favorite motto is 'Minimal Exposure', so someone like me would never be noticed by her", because, you know, I thought he might like Tachibana but thinks it's a lost cause to begin with.

Spoiler for Speculation:

I think it means that despite Toru's quick manner of forgiveness, there might be people for whom trauma and grudges don't heal over time, even due to chance meetings like what happened to Hijiri. I don't know if it's a subtle way for him to tell her that there's still something within Toru that we don't know yet, or, say, Tokita, who might possibly have a grudge on Toru now if we recall how Toru got Kuga before Tokita could during the class trip.

Or, of course, we don't know Sasamori's own history.
