Have a return message, shortly after the message is left.
And the tone is pretty... businesslike, or an attempt at such. Though since you've grown up with him (or a him), it's easy enough to tell that he's straining himself to remain calm.
"How am I supposed to understand you if you never tell me anything? And I haven't sold myself to Him."
A pause.
"If I ran, the Bels would have chased me until they caught me. You wouldn't tell me anything. I couldn't figure out what Gin was up to. Atsuro didn't have enough time to finish his plan. Amane was the only option I had left."
"Really? I thought I'd imitate you there - always so focused on the past."
... He did not just.
"And I don't want to kill you, no. I do care about you, even when you're acting like this."
Silence for a few long moments.
"Do you know what defying an order from a superior angel feels like, Naoya? It feels like being burned alive from the inside. Constantly. With no relief until you follow the order. I'd do that, for you."

"If I thought you had become an angel, I would have already killed you."
A longer pause.
"Don't misunderstand me again."
